This will be a quick one…but necessary I think.  I’ve been away for so long, too long…

I got a comment email from the old writebrite site hosted directly through wordpress on one of my drawings.  As I dug a little deeper into my stats there, I noticed I’m still averaging about 50 hits a day, despite the fact that I haven’t posted anything at all in over a year.  I do understand this is not fantastically great number, but that people are still finding me intrigues me.  Most of the hits have been on my drawings as well…which gets me thinking…

I’ve allowed myself to become removed from many things for too long.  Whether because I’m personally avoiding them for whatever reason, or am “encouraged” to avoid them…maybe I’m missing some of me in the shuffle.  I haven’t been here, blogging, writing, expelling my demons sharing my innermost thoughts on the world, and other stuff.  I haven’t been drawing.  I haven’t been taking pictures.  I haven’t done anything at all that is mostly or totally focused on only me and my happiness/pleasure/relaxation/etc…hmmm…that must say something… Well, that’s going to stop…maybe…probably…maybe……..

No, really.  It’s time.  I’m getting my tube out Monday and it’s about time to get a handle on my life and what does and does not make me happy, because, dammit, I deserve to be happy…right? 

Tonight I drink a beer (or two, or three…) and toast me.  Care to join?
