Excuses, Excuses

So, yes, I am aware it's been a while since I've posted. Many have mentioned this fact to me, wondering how I managed so quickly to turn back over the new leaf I had just turned, already forsaking my resolution to post more and write better (although with the same haphazard proofreading, of course.)

At the beginning of November, there was a personal tragedy. I will not talk or write about it, as there are other people's privacy to protect as well as my own need to not dwell on it. If you know about it, you know--and if you don't, well....I think you get it.

The problem began there though. I would not write about that, but I couldn't think about anything else, let alone write about something else.

Since then, I have gained much fodder for writing: I got pregnant. Whew. Still shocking news to me, and I've known since just after the turn of the year. But, dealing with that shock, as well as what decisions I'd make concerning it, meant more stuff for me to only think, not write, about.

But, I'm feeling more centered now, and we'll see how long I can keep the same old new leaf turned this time.
