So, this is the longest I've gone without an entry since I first set up this blog back in '07. Did you miss me?
It's not that I wasn't thinking about good old Blog Time Passing, I did now and then. I kept saying I need to get back into the swing of things. I just never could seem to find the...
...time.
My last post was July 3rd, 2018, and the reason I stopped blogging was that it was at that point that my mother went into a steep decline, and she passed away less than two weeks after that, on July 16th. While this was not unexpected, she had been slowly declining for a number of years, and she was quite elderly, still it was a difficult loss for me.
I wanted to tell her story here, and hopefully I will in another post later on, but for now, I just wanted to say, I'm back, and I hope to get back to blogging regularly now. Of course, there's the old Yiddish saying that translates to, man plans, God laughs, and the John Lennon quote, life is what happens to you while you're making other plans.
So no guarantees or promises, just an expression of hope and intent, and we'll see where it goes. Certainly, one of the advantages of the medium of blogging is that you can stop and start whenever you like, end and begin and again, pick up where you left off, leave off where you picked up, and all that. So, thanks for reading, and we'll just see what the future holds for us, won't we?
