Since my last post, I've occasionally had thoughts along the lines of "It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. I should get back to that." Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew the blog had lain fallow for a much longer time than I ever intended, but I was really shocked to discover just how long it had been when I randomly checked in tonight. The fact that it's May 1st when my last post occurred on April 30th (albeit, two years ago) seemed like a bit of a sign: ignore the last digit of the year, and it's like I just posted yesterday. So, I thought I'd act on that thought that's been recurring from time to time.
The past couple of years have been a whirlwind of positive and negative events -- several fun shows, the passing of close family, a new job -- and I'll work through some of that in the weeks ahead via the electrons on this virtual page. Recently, I've been feeling the creative impulse again and looking for an outlet I don't get in my daily job. My high-stress, fast-paced, overworked job. I know I'm not the only one, and I raise my fist in solidarity to all those friends as stressed out as I am, but I've got to find a way to restore some balance in order to preserve my sanity (and my marriage!). Finding -- no, making -- time to write is one way I hope to do that.
Maybe I'll work through the Artist's Way again, and maybe this time I'll get past Chapter 3. :-)
