I know you haven’t probably noticed, but I haven’t been writing. Well, I have, but not anything for me. I’ve been indisposed for the past 18 months or so, good n proper.
My sister died, and many of you sent best wishes. I got divorced, which maybe you knew. But what you maybe didn’t know was that it was particularly nasty, and expensive. The douche that killed my sister went on trial, and was convicted to life. And all of which added quite a bit of chaos to a family that had already seen quite a bit of upheaval.
And so now, I sit here finding new meaning in the name of my blog. For as much as I thought I knew before 2010, I sit here now fairly embattled, but twice as educated.
So I’m gonna try to get back to writing a bit, and maybe get some of it out. Gingerly. We’ll just see how it goes.
Pain is inspiration. Writing about pain is cathartic. Good luck!
I like your photo in the header. Looking forward to reading whatever it is you write.
Thanks Annie and Nic- trying to get back into it despite feeling so handcuffed about what I want to write about. have to find some middle ground. Thanks for stopping through!!

Welcome back:) Tip #1: remember that this your journal, write for yourself first! (I know, easier said than done, right?!)
Very glad that you are going to try and pick up the pen again. (It is mightier than the sword). I too have been trying to get back into the swing of writing. Perhaps we can form a support group for those people who have been out of blogging for a while and want to come back.
I have missed you
