Much Needed Time Off for Me

Beware: This could be very depressing for anyone over 50…

For some reason, I just haven’t been in the mood to write much of anything. I guess it is a bit transparent with the haphazard way I’ve been posting lately.

I’ve been trying to muddle through telling myself how what I do is important and could be helpful to other people who have a Work at Home Business. But, lately, it seems I am just treading water. Running a Blog Carnival & providing helpful reads on Sundays and posting something I find in my surfing around the internet is just fill for what I should be doing.

To what purpose? It just seems that the losses are far outpacing the gains. It’s not about money, but a Lot more Personal.

Some of you may know that I lost my Mom on December 13, 2006. Two weeks before my Fathers birthday 12/25 which is Christmas Day and a big day in my family. Now Christmas is not high on my list of fun things anymore.

And I lost my Pop on March 20, 2007, Five days after MY birthday and Three days before what would have been my Mom’s Birthday. And it just happened to be 13 weeks to the day of my Mothers death. Birthday’s pretty much suck anymore, they just seem to remind me of my own mortality.

Just this past April, we lost K’s father (his birthday was in April). He and I weren’t close by any stretch of the imagination, but we both had to deal (and still are) with all the problems cropping up with his estate and her brother just happens to be fighting the Will for good measure.

This has all been quite taxing on our very souls. And it all seems to be so futile. Work your whole life to what end? A contested Will? Holiday’s that hold no meaning anymore? Families spread far and wide?

Anyway, I think I need to take a little time off. Not a vacation, more of a sabbatical. Just to recoup. My head has been spinning for a while now, I need to get my balance back.

No idea how long it could be, hopefully not too long. I will continue the Carnival and Weekly Helpful Reads, but I have no idea when I may be back on a regular schedule of writing.

Thanks to all of you who have been there throughout this ordeal (and you know who you are). I hope it’s not too long before things settle down and I can get back to Writing.

I’ll keep you posted.
