Booster Cables Attached…Charged and Ready to Go (Chug, Chug)

How do you start blogging again when you’ve taken such a long break? (It’s been almost 5 months.)

This is the question I’ve been struggling with for a few months.

I figured I needed a catchy title…which, of course, prolonged the process.

I wanted to let you know why I took such a long break…but not necessarily go into all the details.

I wanted to tell you funny stories, or inspiring things I’d seen and experienced…but I didn’t have the energy.

I wanted to share…but didn’t know how.

I finally remembered what I tell my children when they’re overwhelmed.

‘How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.’

OK, in all seriousness…gross.  Elephants are too beautiful to eat…but you get the general idea.

Make a list of everything that needs to get done, take one job at a time, and check it off when it’s done.

So…

Here I am.

Booster cables on…

Getting recharged…

And writing again.

There no doubt will be a little chugging along the way.

Health issues were the reason for the absence.  Nothing life threatening…just life changing.

Health issues that will bring moments of frustration, but mostly acceptance.

Acceptance and maintenance.

Maintenance…and a slow, but steady paced strengthening and endurance plan.

I’m not as sick or as tired as I was…thank God!

So now it’s time to get back to writing.

Are you ready?

‘Cause, I’M BACK!
