Referring to my last post below ... way back in Nov 2011 ... see, I haven't dropped out of National Blog Posting Month. I just took a year's leave of absence!
I'll try to do a little better this year with NaBloPoMo - not sure I'll post every day but surely I can at least get to Day 9 this time!
In retrospect, November is just not my month. It's my meltdown month. But last year took even me by surprise. And it's always the small things, right? I was doing all fine and dandy until I came upon the question posed by and to the Milk Moms for NaBloPoMo, something along the lines of "describe your day 30 years from now". And just like that, my 'awakening' occurred. (I prefer to think of it as an awakening rather than a mini break down!).
What I saw in 30 years was not good and oh, so very real and very probable if things didn't change. A fair amount of wallowing ensued until it finally occurred to me that I couldn't expect anyone else to change, that I had to make the changes in order to enjoy that day 30 years from now. Awakenings are good. I see them now as opportunities.
Yes, I'm being vague with details, as others aside from the Milk Moms will read this! And the details aren't important now - just wanted to provide a reason for my sudden departure last year. Geez, all because of that one question!
Wow ... I haven't been on this blog for so long that they have changed the way you create a post!
So here's to another year of NaBloPoMo. My "halloween" post will be tomorrow ...

Hope things do change for the better inthe next 30 years!
So glad to hear that you are in with us this year again
You are right- the details that were the cause of the awakening aren't important. What matters is that you awakened. Good for you, dear friend. I'm glad you are here.
NaBloPoMo wouldn't be the same without you.
I am simply happy you have returned. Sending my love.
Welcome back!! :)
