I'm back.....maybe.

For months now, many have asked about my blog and my intentions to get back to it.
I have mixed emotions about blogging again.

First let me say, I love to blog. Writing is a great release for me and something I really enjoy. I'm a write first, re-read an delete kind of person. Sometimes just writing out what I would love to say but would never consider sending makes things better for me. I get a clearer perspective, I even sometimes realize a different stand than I may have first taken on an issue. I love to write.

Therein lies part of the issue for me internally with restarting my blog. Those of you who read my blog regularly know, I blog about my family and our lives. The real stuff. Typically easy going, funny and sometimes great stuff. I don't however usually blog about the hard stuff....the rough stuff in life, first because I tend to be a private person with the tough stuff, never wanting to bother others, but secondly because I write my blog myself and those in it don't tend to get a say in the publication, so writing about the tough stuff involving others isn't necessarily fair I feel.

Unfortunately, that's where our lives have been for the past 6 months.....full of tough stuff. Nothing good to blog about and nothing I want to share with others. I've considered changing my perspective on how I blog and even revamping the blog....but I can't its not how I write, its not who I am.

Our lives have changed considerably in the past 6 months, almost devastatingly so. Its fair to say almost every aspect of our lives have been affected....including my blog. I can't say I'm coming back for good.....but I can say we're trying to create a new "normal" around here....and I will try to somehow include the blog in that.

I know I've been holding back on my blog......what do you find yourself holding back on today, is it one of the things you find therapeutic and brings you joy? Reevaluation might help put it all into perspective.

Till I blog again,
Polly
