As many of you have no doubt noticed, there hasn’t been a whole lotta bloggin’ goin’ on in these parts. I have noticed that some of you have been kind enough to visit and leave comments. Yes, I have noticed. I’m sorry I haven’t been very good about responding in kind.
The truth is, I haven’t had much time or energy for blogging these days. I have been spending a great deal of both on my son. I won’t go into detail here. Suffice to say, that for many of our service men and women coming back from the hell hole known as Iraq, their toughest battles await them after they return home. My son is such a one. And like most parents, his problems are my problems.
In short, I only have so much time and energy to spare, and my son is more important to me than my blog. That’s just how it is.
But all is not doom and gloom. I am happy to say he is doing remarkably better in the past few months, which means that I am doing better.
I will be back, after the first of the year. But to try to resume blogging during the holidays is just too unrealistic, and I really don’t want another false start here.
So many thanks to those of you who have hung in there with me, and I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday.
