And time can do so much...

Well.

It's been almost two months and it feels like an eternity. I didn't intend to take a blog break, it just happened that way.

Part of it is I just didn't know (ugh!) how to come back to my last post. I wanted easy, sensible, non-crazy-person answers to some really tough questions... and I still don't have them.

Part of it is trying to sort out priorities. Does blogging really have a place in my life? How else could I be spending my time? The answers here came easier, though it took longer than I anticipated. Should blogging be a part of my life? Yes. I miss it, and having an outlet was good for me. And yet... should I spend the same amount of time I had been spending in the blogiverse? Nope. What does that mean, exactly? No clue.

Part of it is my work hours. Lately I've been working 50+ hours a week. It's exhausting and I'm not just burnt out - I'm crispified. I recently took a week off and went back hoping I would be refreshed and excited again. I'm not. So now I wait on God and an open door - and fill out lots of applications.

Part of it is wanting (yet not wanting) to be alone. I've been avoiding people... trying to avoid sharing too much. I slip up every once in a while and feel awful about it later. I want to talk to people, but I'm not sure I can... not sure anyone really wants to listen (pity-party thinking, I know).

So I've stayed away... internet included. No blog, no facebook and email only once a week. I guess, in a way, I've been in hiding.

Not anymore. I'm baaaaaaack!
