Back to normal... almost

Well... where to begin?

I suppose it's easy to type this as opposed to trying to talk to people about why I disappeared. Bottom line is that things happen that serve to knock you sideways. Some you can deal with, or you think you can deal with, and some you can't.

There have been things going on in both my work and private life that, when added together, became just too much for me to take. I do not intend to dredge those up now, save to say that it was not just one or the other; however the sum of the parts really did become pretty much the last straw.

So, I took the only option open to me... I withdrew from everything except the basic life essential things.

Now, I am back, but not with a vengeance. My intention is to be more pragmatic, to learn what I can change and to live in the knowledge that some things I cannot change.

And so... life goes on... here's to the next chapter!
