Thanks to those of you who inquired as to my well-being. (I kept a list!) The kind folks who administer this blog server are the nicest people. I am probably among their most challenging of customers, but always polite!
During my informal hiatus, I thought a bit about this blog and what I wanted to write in going forward.
I am acutely aware that I am far more forthcoming in this blog than I am in "real" life. Have not figured out the reasons for that completely. But there is something about a blog that causes me to be more revelatory - and that is a good thing as long as I don't get too sardonic.
I have missed writing the blog and looking forward to reading what I might be writing.
Some of the reasons for my hiatus came from sheer discouragement at the state of the world - on all sides of the spectrum especially political. Other reasons came from the clear reality that my years of working too hard really caught up with me. I was reacting to stress far too much. Like other things I have identified along the way, it is something that I have and will be addressing.
So, for now - see you soon - promise.
I leave with one small question: can we treat children with the same reverence that some people propose for guns? That bothers me - because the pro-assault weapons crowd is impossible to communicate with. Just consider the moral issue of pro-assault weapons folks who claim to be pro-life. I don't get it. Sigh. Must think about this one.
Onward.
