It's Been A Minute... or Two

It's been a minute, or two since I posted anything on this blog. It's been longer than that since I posted anything of a significant substance.  Originally, I was going to say it's been longer since I've posted anything of significant substance about my life, but I can't quite remember what - if anything - I've ever written about my life other than the weekly group blog posts that referenced things in my life. 

I don't know if anyone really reads this blog other than the hits it might get from someone reading one of my book reviews, an entry about a particular topic only found because of an internet search, or a hit connected to the other bloggers I use to write with in the blog project. With that said, if you are a returning reader, welcome back!  If you are new, I hope you enjoy what you read. I appreciate you taking time to read my blog.

Time was a huge factor as to why I stopped writing.  When I moved to the city 10 years ago, I didn't have the time.  I was working multiple jobs, taking classes, socializing, and/or traveling.  Energy was another factor.  Though I had so much on my mind to write about, I was busy and didn't have the energy to write my thoughts down.  Lastly, privacy.  I've struggle with this competent of any blog post I've written since day one.  What parts of my life do I write about and what parts don't I write about has always been a "tug of war" for me and will continue to be one. I'm mostly a private person, but I've learned over time that the best writing comes is when you are truly candid and vulnerable with your audience. This is something I'm working on. 

Truthfully, I can't tell you why I'm back.  Time and energy seem even less these days and as I mentioned above I still struggle with fully sharing my life. All I know is that I am . . . at least I hope I am back.  While life has changed in many ways, there are two significant changes. There is now two very significant people in my life - my husband and my child a.k.a. my Mini Bagel.  Personally, I still can't believe this is the case.  I still pinch myself.  Especially when I look at my Mini Bagel.  Don't get me wrong, I love my hubby very much and am so happy to have him in my life, but seriously y'all having MB is just . . . well, there are no words and I know hubby feels the same way.

This is where I'll leave things for now.  Again, thank you!
