Well!  I finally got back on my blog, as you can see.  It was so frustrating!  But on the bright side, I didn’t do anything wrong.  It was a quirk in the system.  Of course I am not happy that it happened.  But, since I have a tendency to blame myself, it was especially difficult for me.  Even though I have copies of all my blogs saved, I just needed to know what happened.  Enough said! 

This experience has taught me that I have to stop blaming myself.  That’s a big challenge for me.  Ask my daughter.  She’s the one who got the ball rolling and found out what had happened.  And she is the one who keeps telling me to stop the negative self talk.  She even made me a list of affirmations that she said would help.  I am sure she is right.  But, when I really don’t understand why something negative happens, I think I must have had something to do with it.

Anyway, I just need to have these connections with people.  I am addicted to relationships and was having horrible withdrawal symptoms.  To many people, this must sound weird or crazy but I am a “flaming extrovert!”  That is what I call myself because I am so very eager to meet people and interact with those that have a different experience from mine.

It is gratifying to have people read my blog because it is basically an effort to communicate with others.  I want to know what makes people tick. And I try to be open to conversation with people like when we are waiting in lines at the grocery store or in so many other situations.  It is something that makes me feel connected to different walks of life. It’s something that makes me happy!

Time passes by so quickly and it seems to get faster by the moment.  I am so happy to be back.  And to whomever is reading this, I am so very grateful.
