I have now gone for over seven weeks without updating my blog—the longest period since I began writing it. I guess the truth is that I haven’t needed to write . . . or maybe I haven’t wanted to write. Truthfully, I’ve been feeling that interest in my blog has been waning, but I had an email this week that jarred me back to reality. A friend emailed and asked why I hadn’t been blogging, as it’s her way of keeping up on what’s happening in my life.
