Hello Again
Wow, my last entry here - which was in 2014 - was a television meme? Lame.
Hope I didn't startle you. I mean, that's if anyone is still here. I haven't even checked my friends feed yet to see who still posts here regularly, if ever. But on the off-chance anyone is still roaming the halls of LJ, I'm back.
I left because there didn't seem to be much reason to share long paragraphs of exposition of my life with a rapidly shortening list of readers here. Facebook and Twitter offered both a wider connection to people and a quicker way of commnunication. But... I miss LJ. More importantly, I miss writing. And I miss recording my life in a meaningful way. I don't consider 140 character quotes a meaningful way of encapsulating my experiences.
At the core of it all, I haven't been able to write much of anything in the past few years. Our lives have been a rollercoaster of things, from job switches, to new additions to the family, to moving and taking care of our new house. And on top of it all, staying consistent with Bardsworth has been an endurance test. One that I'm still doing well on, thankfully, but it does get stressful.
So, anyway, I thought perhaps using LJ to jot down what's going on in my life, or to reflect on things, or to rant and rave about the state of our country - or, yes, to just have fun and fill out a meme... if those are even still a thing around here - would help fill my creative well and get me ready for the day that I can sink my teeth back into writing.
I have many things I plan on talking about here, but I felt this was a good start for the moment. I guess what I'm trying to say is...
