*tap tap tap*  Is this thing on? 

~crickets chirp~

Yeah, I kind of abandoned this journal - hell I kind of abandoned pretty much everything.  My life, the boys lives included, did a major flip this summer.   Things were super-busy, then they just sort of evened out.  By that time I was really feeling the stress from the major life change that I basically retreated into myself.  Writing, which has been cathartic for me in the past, wasn't working.  It became more of a chore.  I have never really written in a diary or journal for the purpose of having an audience -- well except for my forray into Diaryland Survivor last year -- and I basically figured if I didn't want to write for "me", I sure as hell wasn't going to write for anyone else.  I had had enough demands on my time and attention. 

I stopped creating tags and letters as well.  Just flat withdrew.  And the thing is, the major life change wasn't a BAD one, in fact it was a great one.  It wasn't what I expected it to be in some ways, yet in others it was more than I expected.  I'm still trying to get a handle on my new life. 

Yeah, I'm being vague, but in all honesty I hadn't planned on updating today so my thoughts are all over the place.

Let's say that right now in my life I'm more secure than I've ever been, but at the same time I'm still off balance. 

Clear as mud?  *g*

My plan, as far as plans go, is to either resume updating in this journal or to start a whole new one.  I'm not sure which one I want to do yet.  I'll keep you posted.
