The question is...

As you may or may not have noticed, my absences seem to stretch into longer periods of time. It seems that this blog was far more therapeutic than I gave it credit for. A dissolving marriage, emotional sponge-ness and stalemate in the career front were the fuel to my blogging fire. Now I find myself blissfully married to an incredible man, no longer taking on the grief of the world (and not dealing with FD politics) and finding contentment in my career and where it is headed has made me, well kinda dull. Sure, I can muse with the best of them but generally after re-reading, I find that I sound either scatter brained or just plain ol' "simple". So what is a blogger (and I use that term very loosely) to do? Hang up one's hat and call it? Continue rambling on about nothing and everything? Bore you all (all two of you that may still have me in your readers) with the wonderful monotony of my day to day life?

I'm not sure what is the best course of action. I don't believe I was ever a terrific writer. Sure I pulled one out of left field from time to time, but for the most part I don't find myself all that eloquent or interesting. (Trust that I am not fishing for compliments here. Quite the contrary, in fact.) I like writing. I have been doing that in one form or another for as long as I can remember but often I find myself looking back and cringing at what I wrote.

So the question becomes...

Don't we all?!? OK, so maybe neither one of us is getting a Pulitzer nomination this year . . . but that doesn't mean you haven't written some damn good stuff! Your "Driveway from Hell" post still has me both snickering and wincing (sez the person who's gotten sucked into the snow on the side of her long driveway waaay too many times).

Well, I still have you on my google reader, and I was so happy to see a new post from you. If you continue to post, I'll continue to read! I've certainly missed you, and do hope you continue to write :)
