Time Out
Hello Friends!
I've been taking a conscious time out from writing in my blog for the past few weeks. Reasons (or excuses) include:
1. Having committed to publishing once a week threw me into Writer's Block Extraordinaire.
2. I've been swamped at work....and I have to admit that I'm loving it. My energy and focus have been elsewhere.
3. Writing some of these blogs is emotionally costly and I needed a break.
4. Thinking about converting my blog to a book scared the crap out of me, even though it's my biggest dream.
5. American Idol, The Bachelor (over which I'm still devastated by the Final Rose Ceremony and swearing that I'll never watch this show again while at the same time I Google for the status of relationship between Sarah and Travis), Project Runway, and The Apprentice.
All of these Reality Shows are my friend Ellie's fault. She got me started on The Apprentice a couple of seasons ago because she said that we couldn't keep on having any intelligent conversation if I wasn't going to watch the show, and my addiction just kind of grew from there. Like any good addict would do if they were in my shoes, I blame her for all of this. So there.
Reasons and excuses aside, I have to admit that I am starting to wake up in the middle of the night again and being unable to return to The Land Of Nod. While it might be peri-menopausal insomnia or being in the middle of a new computer software selection process at work that is making me an emotional nut case, more than likely it is creative energy building which needs tending. So I guess it's time to confront the beast and take up key board again and let whatever needs to be expressed come to life.
As the Governor of California so eloquently stated .... I'll be back.
