I forgot my 6th blogaversary, which was just about a month ago. Tonight is the longest night of the year. Like the world around me and like my country, my life is going through a major transition, and I need to take along pause at this point and readjust, get unstuck, ride the lessening night into a new and brighter era.
And so I’m going to take a break from blogging, I need to come back refreshed and renewed and ready to post about more than just my current long personal and troublesome journey. I need to get back to reading other blogs, other thinkers. I need to remember how to think, again. I need to remember how I have always cared about so much more than this box in which I found myself as a caregiver. I need to learn to live with the guilt of abandoning my very old mother to my brother’s care.
I need to remake my bed.
So much has slipped away as I move through my own personal winter solstice.
I hope that, with the New Year for this planet, the new leadership for this country, and a new base for my home and heart, I will be feel a new energy and a new purpose.
There has to be a dance in the old dame yet.
Meanwhile, I wish everyone a very Happy Holiday. I hope that you’ll check back here in a month or so.

Thank you for writing of your up-and-coming break. I’ll miss you. Don’t be gone too long, though you should obviously take as long as you need. Please know that, as a reader, I have not found your posts troublesome at all, but helpful for pointing out the real qualms and questionings of growing old. I do hope to you find new musings and a renewal of spirit. All the very best during these holidays.
The days are getting longer already. I’ll look forward to reading your freshened work in 2009. I hope Santa brings you something nice.
I do understand your need for a break from blogging. You have had many things to deal with and blogging takes time and thought.
You will be missed. I hope all goes well for you and for your mother.
Hurry back.
I will miss your posts but definitely get the need to rejuvenate. I look forward to your return.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
