The last post I uploaded is dated April, 2017.  It isn’t the length of time away which surprised me, since I was here the whole time.  The post I was ready to send off in October of last year is what caught me off guard.  Thanks to WordPress, I was able to view the beginning of a blog never sent which has me bitching about keeping in touch. Seems obvious to me, having lived with myself all of these years, my tone was malapropos  – “must’ve been pissed or something”.

I wrote: “Why is getting together or staying in-touch with friends a one-way street?  Do you feel as though, neigh for you, friends would be estranged and something as simple as getting together wouldn’t take place?  Hey, pick up the phone, tablet or device, for a change!  I have no memory of the circumstances which inspired me to jot this down after being away for 5 months.  I am relieved it never went to press, well, until now.

My health and piece of mind has been put to the test during the last 18 months. Through the bad and worse, those closest to me never wavered in their support.  Lucky and thankful can’t begin to describe how much my family and friends are loved and appreciated. Something I saw, read or heard about somehow managed to trigger the beginning of a post left unfinished. My WordPress account has been kept active just in case the senses driving me to write were teased and tickled again. Seems the blog post that never was motivated me to jot this down and share.

For the record, my health continues to give me fits and I’m not one hundred percent today. Although it’s been dark and raining on my parade, my attitude has been better as of late. So be it.  Life is too short to lay low, out of sight, out of character.  Spending more time with friends socially, in person or online, helps.  I’m not certain why I began to chastise people for not staying in touch, since I am one of the worst at doing so.  The only reason which comes to mind is ~ Must’ve been pissed or something.
