Hello? Is This Thing On?

Hello, World. It's Chile. Remember me? I blogged for five years, met loads of wonderful people in cyberspace (and a few in real life, too), and then disappeared with promises to write a book.

The book didn't happen. The intention was there but the time and motivation was not. Life got in the way. C'est la vie. No use bemoaning the past; it's time to move on.

I've been thinking about whether to resurrect the blog with a new focus but kept putting it off until I had time to pretty up the set-up. If I wait for that, I'll never get started writing again. So, I'm just diving in. I'll be floundering around a bit until I hit on just what I want to talk about.

Here are some subjects rolling around in my head that I may want to share.
  • What happened after my blog went dark
  • Life does not cooperate with New Year's Resolutions
  • Being a caregiver is stressful
  • Am I losing my mind?
  • Contemplating life on the road
  • De-cluttering on a massive scale
I'm going to click "Publish" now. I may regret it. You may regret it. But at least I'll have finally made a decision on whether to start blogging again!

    1. Hi Molly! Nice to see you here. I'll be heading towards your state for a visit in the not-too-distant future. :)

  3. I'm thrilled that you've decided to blog again! Blogging can be a form of therapy, a source of support (from readers), a way of organizing and focusing your thoughts, a hobby, a way of helping others, and more -- all at the same time. I look forward to seeing whatever you choose to share as I know it will all be interesting! Hugs....

    1. Oh yes. I'm counting on the blogging to be therapeutic! And although I rarely met the people who read my blog, you are absolutely right about the support.

      As far as it organizing and focusing my thoughts.... I think I'm too far gone for that. ;) We'll see about the rest.

      Thanks for your support, Marla. You've been there for me from the beginning of the whole blogging adventure and, believe me, I do appreciate that.

    1. Hiya Beany! Missed you, too. Are you still pedaling around everywhere?

      Delete
    2. Sadly, no. Lots of health woes and injuries and medical conditions. Pedaling most places, but no where as near as I used to. :(

    3. So sorry to hear that. Similar situation here, unfortunately, so I'm not biking near as much as I want or should. Plus, the roads ended up being less safe for biking in the more rural area than in the city. How ridiculous is that?!
