A Word About My Blogging Hiatus

Once upon a time I had a blog and loved to write on it.  Then I disappeared suddenly and couldn’t give anyone a very good explanation for it.  It really meant something to me when people took the time to read and the whole disappearing thing…..I want to at least explain myself.

Writing is a very personal thing for me.  I show a small snapshot of our life here, of my thoughts, values, and what we are about.  So every time I click “publish” some nerves accompany it.  “Some” might be an understatement.

The long and short of it is this:  We went through a painful time as a family and I felt like I needed a safe place to hide.  The world wide web is not an easy place to hide.  I set my blog to “private” and wrote like crazy, but the crazy part is pretty evident now that I look back on those posts.  Even though I’ve been ready to write publicly again for some time, I didn’t know what to do with said crazy.  In the end I hid those posts and now I’m baaaaaack.  So let’s leave things at that and move on, shall we?

I have riveting things to share with you!  Like this, from Elizabeth our newly-crowned five-year-old:

“Do you know why french fries are so good?  Because they have mashed potatoes in them!”

Thanks for coming back.
