Checking In

So ... here's a first for me.  I'm not going to apologize for not having written in so long.  I mean ... don't get me wrong ... of course I feel bad if you've been waiting for my next post.  Of course I wish I'd written more often.  But you haven't just been waiting around, have you? No ... you've been living.  And over the last month or two, though there were a number of things that I wanted to write about, I just didn't have the time.  You see, I've been so busy doing things that I just didn't have a minute (or a few hours) to sit down and write about them.

In the past, when I went for a while without writing here, it was usually because things were going poorly for me.  I was upset, hurt, frustrated, depressed, sick, angry, stressed (or all of the above).  I've always said I wanted to keep this blog positive, and when I didn't know how to write about all that without bringing you down too, I just ... didn't.  So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I got an email from a friend who was worried when I hadn't written in so long.  But this time it's different.
