Christine Smith's Blog

Happy, strong, and at peace…I’m free!

Greetings, and welcome to my new blog!

Here I plan to often share both my political commentary as well as personal thoughts.  Rather than having two or more blogs as I have in the past, I will integrate all in one place, and I invite you to check back frequently (or subscribe via RSS), as I intend to frequently post here on matters/issues of the day in the world (and activities in my own life).

I’ve received a number of inquiries over the past several weeks regarding my plans:  Now, I am focusing on my work (more writing as I was able to do only about half as much in past year and half due to the campaign), and currently considering a few possibilities which interest me regarding political activism. 

Personally, I am feeling wonderful!  I’m free!  Free from the burdens/stresses I dealt with during the campaign; free to write; free to spend time with family/friends; free to explore and learn new activities which interest me; free to be me.  I’ve also the time to again exercise regularly – working out with weights and aerobically nearly every every other day now.  I’m experiencing more joy…more music…more time just for myself to contemplate, read, and take beautiful relaxing walks/hikes in this wondrous springtime (which has felt like summer long before today).  I am happy, strong, and at peace. 

I invite you to return to my website and blog, as I will be sharing much here.  Meanwhile, I invite you to read the first blog entry I wrote here (just below this one) as it is about the influence, the blessing, my father has been in my life.  It has been his loving guidance throughout my life that has been instrumental in who I’ve become and what I do.
