I have just spent the most relaxing five days I've had in years. Hanging out with friends in a house with a pool. Eating great food that wasn't cooked by me. Talking and laughing. Not talking if I didn't feel like it. No phone. No TV. No emails. No blogging. I opened the laptop once to write down some random thoughts. I even wrote on paper ! With a pen ! The kid is away having a great time with his best friend on an island. They are being watched over by our great friends so there are only small moments of anxiety. I miss him but I needed this time away from him too.

So I am back. Not just back home. But back to this blog too. I have just read through all the amazing comments people have left here while I was away. It is truly overwhelming and uplifting to know that there are so many people looking out for me even though we have never met. A heartfelt thank you to all of you. You have helped me look again at my reasons for doing this and made me realise that it is of value. Thank you also to my real life friends who have listened and talked and laughed and cried with me over the Major Meltdown. Thank you for the hugs. For the emails. For the phone calls. And just for being there when I needed you.

Today I am going to find out what is going on the world, read my favorite blogs, catch up on my emails…

Regular posting will resume very soon.

    Great to see you back. I did exactly the same thing; five days away from the city camping under the stars in the woods next to the sea. We all need a break otherwise we’d go mad.

    Oh no, EllasDevil quoted the Backstreet Boys.Man, I wish I could get away.  I had to forsake my beach vacation for my thesis.  I am going to be forsaking a lot for my thesis over the next few months.  And talking like Shakespeare.Glad to see you back and well rested, refreshed, and rejuvenated DD.
