Guess Who's Back? Back Again....

I am remiss. In so many things. But especially here. I have been gone too long.

I would love to say that I just got carried away, swept up in the business that pervades everyday life, looked around one day, yawning and stretching, and realized I had neglected this forum - my forum - for what amounts too far too long. But it wasn't that inadvertent.

I did not write for a long time. And I did so on purpose.

There are always moments when my voice seems unreachable and I feel I have nothing to say. I fight through the malaise, and for good or bad, something, some footprint of my written existence, always reveals itself.

I gave up reaching. I went mute and I accepted it.

More than having nothing to say, I had too much to say and nowhere to begin. It all just came at me in a tidal wave of tongue twisting words and overwrought tangled emotion.

I made a decision - that it was time to get back in the game. If I am going to be anxious and worried and worked up about life, it may as well be about all of the real things that go on within it, rather than all the things I imagine could/might/or would happen.

So I have made some proactive steps. Done a few crazy things. Don't know if they are right or the best things, but, if nothing else, they definitely make good stories. So there is a lot to catch up on and a lot to share. But not tonight, the wine from dinner had made me sleepy.

Tomorrow....
