Two weeks notice...

Well, it's been absolutely crazy since I got engaged. The wedding's just around the corner (not soon enough, if you ask me), and I'm in the Holy Land for Pesach. I miss her terribly, but ultimately these few weeks of being apart will be good in the long run...

Or so they say.

Anyway, a lot of you have probably seen this coming, and even if you haven't, I can't imagine that you'd be all that surprised. After careful consideration and deliberating, and finally, discussion with my lovely intended, I will no longer post on this blog.

There's an old adage that "all good things must come to an end", and while I believe that Ziontrain is a good thing, it doesn't represent the potential that a married man can accomplish, as opposed to that of a single boy.

Ziontrain was quite the undertaking for me, on a myriad of levels. While it started of as a random blog, chock full of miscellaneous writings, etc., I like to think that for the past two years, there's been more of a focusing.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the feedback of my readers. All of you - whether you were casual readers, those who had stumbled on the blog only once or twice, or regular fans - your comments, criticisms, encouragement and insights all contributed to the refining (and defining) and direction of my writing style, and to a degree, my outlook and hashkafah on life. No words can ever truly express my gratitude. I thank you all, and I will sorely miss all of you.

Is this it? Is jewmaican20 done for? What will be?

Good question. I haven't decided in what forum I'll continue to write in, but make no mistake: I will continue to write. Thankfully, there are many different options out there; who knows? Maybe I'll actually get paid, even!

In the meantime, I'm still a member on Kindness Happens, and when the matter arises, I'll continue to post there...

My jewmaican20@yahoo.com address is still open, so feel free to continue contacting me for whatever reasons...

And, don't forget: Love Is The Motive...
