resurrection of the blog.

Something happened after I finished graduate school and got my license and got a new job and got married. I was TIRED. So many wonderful things happening all at once but with new beginnings other things must come to an end and for me that was a lot of things. To make room in my life for an all-encompassing job that requires 40-50 hours a week, I had to let a lot of things go. You would think that would be liberating, but frankly, there were things I was not prepared to let go of and things I could not. I left them hanging, suspended, unfinished. Because saying goodbye was too hard.

Some of the main reasons I kept a blog then became moot - I had been using this blog to promote my sewing and crafts, to share process, to talk about poetry and the arts and my family. FUN STUFF!! So, dear readers, you can imagine what my life looked like that I could no longer participate in those things, let alone have the time to blog about them.

let me pause here to google-image a visual for you:

The straight line of a week of work heading off into a bleak distance of Friday. This will not do. This will not do at all.

Persistence is a virtue, but so is knowing when you are no longer on your own life path but need to find your way back to your own. It's time to get out the compass, watch the weathervane, measure the caterpillar's stripes.
