Thanks...And a New Lease On Life

I want to thank everyone who was kind enough to post a comment below or to send me an email. I think it is fair to say that I was truly touched by the comments and your messages of support.

I've found in the month that I've been off-line that there has been a hole in my life that I've not been able to fill. In my bad moments, I think it's an addiction and vow to cut it off even more, but mostly I've come to the conclusion that I will burst--literally break--if I don't start writing again.

I know there is nothing more annoying than the person who retires and then starts up again, and I'm not entirely yet convinced, but I think I need to start up again.

I don't have enough time and I don't want to shortchange anyone, not my family nor my work. But I've since found out that the virtues of silence are somewhat overrated.

Make that "very overrated"....
