Touching base, briefly

I find that I keep apologizing for these huge lapses in blogging. But there are some reasons for this last one. Since I last posted, my life has taken a huge turnaround. Not exactly for the good, and I am trying to find the silver lining. I know it must be there; I've always believed that things happen for a reason. But this one is tough. Tougher than anything I've been through in my life before. It's a complete do-over in many ways. So if I'm not around for a while now, it's just because I'm trying to get things back on track. I am still writing, in fact, writing more now than I have in the last months, so hopefully will have a new, completed manuscript in the next month. But then comes another challenge. I'll be back, but can't promise soon. Talk among yourselves.
