Hi.

It's been a longer hiatus 

Than I intended to take.

When I started this blog,

It was meant to be therapeutic.

The doctor thought it would help me

Deal with everything 

I was going through.

It was never intended 

To really be for anyone else.

Then, it was a safe place

To contemplate big issues

And talk out (with myself)

What I should be doing.

Suddenly I was being stopped

And told what I wrote inspired them.

That was the first time

I realized others outside my 

Immediate friends were reading it!

Then I was reprimanded

About something "I" wrote

About something "I" felt.

So, rather than continue the same way

I changed tactics and became

The author of a frivolous

Kind of "look what I did" blog.

Then I was once again reprimanded

About something "I" wrote

About something "I" felt.

So, rather than continue the same way

I was making vague comments

On my life...

So what started as a therapeutic excercise,

Suddenly I was forced (sort of)

Into a daily job even I was uninterested

In accomplishing.

Today is a new day!

Today was a kick in the pants to say the least!

I lost a friend to cancer today.

I did not even know she had it.

I am still grieving the loss of my Dad.

Still no funeral.

My Mother announced that she

Has been diagnosed with skin cancer.

I am done.

I need bed and a recharge.

Tomorrow is another day.

A new start.
