Returning to blogging after hiatus
While I don't know who comes to this blog other than porn sites, I am shouting into cyberspace to say I'm returning to blogging and writing and coming out of a fog, depression, valley, etc.
I have chosen to live separately from my husband after 38 years of marriage. Currently I am living with some (wealthy) acquaintances who are becoming friends, since I'm occupying their basement and spending some of the holidays with them, and I will move into an apartment within walking distance from my office in early January.
The reasons for the separation (not legal, but amicable and necessary) are too complicated to go into here and not really anyone's business, but since the reasons have existed for years I should have separated years ago. While the decision was hard, it feels very right now and I look forward to 2020 and a level of freedom. I do miss my dog though.
What I hope is that I will write more, having taken a break because I didn't have the emotional or psychic energy to write and wanted to read more. I'm reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (profane but interesting, and of course brilliantly written), The Brothers Karamazov, and some nonfiction on media. I'm in the middle of two novels I'm writing and a Bible study.
No Christmas tree this year; I did bake and have some gifts. No travel. Worship.
Despite this valley in my life, which has caused me an intense sense of failure and that I wasted many years, God is good and will bring good from it.
