So, it's been over a year since I blogged anything. I blogged back in March 2023, but getting that done was like writing an opus magnum. I found I had shut down in many ways about two years ago and wasn't writing much beyond my personal journal and even that was kind of scarce looking. But just before my birthday this year – the 67th, for those keeping track or are just curious – I found myself reawakening both on a physical and mental/emotional level. Do I know why? Nope. It just started to happen. Could it be one or more of the vitamins and supplements I take that make me practically rattle first thing in the morning are actually doing something positive? Could it be that the autoimmune/auto-inflammatory issue that has yet to be named has gone into a quiet phase, preferably for the next 20 years?
Don't know, don't care. I feel better. Somewhat more importantly to me, I feel like writing again. Even at the worst times of my life, I was able to put words to either paper or screen, sometimes prolifically. To sit at my desk and not have words tumble out from brain to pen or keyboard was horrible and likely self-perpetuating. I'd call it writer's block, but I'll leave that to the people who actually get paid to write for a living.
So, my muse is back from wherever muses go when their creative souls aren't being creative. I like to think mine was hanging out in Tahiti. I think I lost the handfuls of folks who regularly read this blog during my creative desert phase. Whether they return or not, whether I'm just writing to hear myself type, there will be more happening here.
Stay tuned.
