Not Blogging for a Few Days


I was shocked to get an email from a friend who apparently reads my blog daily. She's not registered as a 'follower' but is a 'follower' nonetheless. She was actually missing my blog and checking to see if I am all right!. Somehow a number of days whizzed by without me blogging. That never happens when I am in my regular rhythm.

I have not been in my usual rhythm. Yo and Matt have been here. A granddaughter had a first birthday, and we were at that family party. Yo and Matt were in and out, going here and there. Lots of things going on with them. And then there were family dynamics. Wedding details. I'm not allowed to write about family matters, as dictated by my family members, so it makes sense to me that I would not have much to say in my blog when my days were entirely filled with family dynamics.

When I say "family dynamics" I am referring to relationships, and those might be in-laws, or siblings, or spouses of siblings, or children, or children's children. Or any or all of the above. The weekend was full of dynamics. There's really nothing more I can add. All families have dynamics.

But as for the blog, and my dear friend, I can honestly say it made me very very happy that she missed my blog. While I write largely for myself, it is surely good to feel heard.

And isn't that what friends do?
