Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here?

With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons.

My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for.

And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time.

I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.  

So instead, what did I do?

I did what any self respecting coward would do.

I ghosted, of course.

Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted.

Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't feel that something they have to say is important.

So many things have changed.  So many things have stayed the same.

I have passed the 50 year mark.

My kids are in college and middle school.

I have new friends, and old ones that I don't speak to anymore.

Hubba-hubba and I endure, and recently had our 20th wedding anniversary.

I still have so many, many flaws, but I try.  Sometimes I don't try hard enough.

Health is the one of the most important things we have. I have taken that for granted.  

So, here I am.  

I don't know if I am back, back, or just sort of back.  I need to see how this feels.

And if no one comments or visits, that is OK.  The same way it was OK when I first started this lo those seven years ago.

It's gonna be fine.  I promise.
