Tonight
I'm in one of those moods where it seems nothing I read (blogs) is quite what I want to read. Our boy is being quite a pain tonight; he won't go to sleep and is very cranky. So I want to read things to relax but ... not a big connection happening.
That seems to happen more and more often lately. For a while I felt pretty close to a lot of my blog friends (most of whom I've never spoken with in any other way); now it seems there's more distance.
That may be because I've been writing very little recently. Blogging needs to be two-way to keep the connection alive.
Part of it is being busy, but I think it is also that some of the things that I really want to say can't be said here. This doesn't mean my life is bad or anything; in fact it is going very well now. But that doesn't erase all the painful things of the past entirely.
But you won't read them here. Neither will you read about anything bad that happens at work; I've pretty much decided it is too risky to bring anything up here, because I'm far from anonymous.
I thought once our boy was home I'd share lots of fun things about him. Well, there are a ton of those things, but for some reason it is hard to share them in public, too. I guess maybe I don't want to have his life be too public until he has a chance to have a say on that.
Maybe I need to find a new focus ... we'll see.
