Faithfully Mine....

I haven't been to blog world for a very long time. I'm sure there are some people who might check in from time to time who have a glimmer of why I haven't been blogging.

And, every week SiteMeter sends me an accounting of how many hits this blog gets; of course the number is dwindling; I keep in touch with a lot of people through Facebook when it used to be my ramblings here that kept me in touch.

I wandered back over here earlier after hearing about Orion's surgery and idly wondered if I should just take this thing down - but, there is the investment in time, in caring and sharing of my words, pictures, and so forth that I don't want to lose. I've made some good friends - friends I've met in person over time, more friends I hope to meet in time. So, the blog stays whether or not anyone cares.

The Muse was severely injured in a horrific accident some months back; I wondered if She'd ever make her presence known again. She speaks to me now and again, a little older, more tired. But also more cautious, cynical and not as likely to wear her heart on her sleeve. But, She looks not too far into the future, but only one day at a time, and she reaches for Joy as Her beacon. And succeeds...most times.

You have, I realize, been told this before - that I'll post more often. But now I'll simply say I hope to post more often, and there will be no guarantees, for in the life before I wrote to attempt to entertain, but now I write for my own pleasure first and secondly to share what may or may not be interesting about the things in my life.

I was touched to look at the SiteMeter account and see that some of you still check every other day or so to see if there's something new. And, there were a couple of surprises there, too, cities belonging to names I didn't think would bother. Thank you...you touched a place in my heart I thought was lost when the Muse was injured. I feel the glimmer of hope that perhaps I did mean something to the folks who stopped by here for a moment. I hope you will drop by again and find something of worth to read from time to time.
