Sometimes Life Can Get In the Way

Hello folks! How have you been? Yes, I agree it does seem like forever and it feels nice to be back! It feels as if it's been months and it's only been a couple weeks now that I haven't been writing. I could have jumped back in a few days ago but my notebook felt foreign beneath my pencil. It's true that stagnancy breeds laziness (and mosquitoes). I've spent the last couple weeks on a side job at night and the "give" was not writing while my "take" was some extra cash. Although grateful for the opportunity to earn extra money, it's fairly disconcerting that it has completely stifled my writing (even if only temporarily). Life is good but it does sometimes get in the way. The reality when you set aside what warms your soul for what warms your belly it can be a strange feeling. I really missed having time to write in the recent past and the ease at which my words came to me has not yet returned. So I decided to bear to you what frets me in an attempt to overcome this proverbial "bump in the road." Thanks for lending me your ears or eyes or you know what I mean. We'll talk soon...
