Unexpected Hiatus
Whenever an entry is completed and posted, there is never a feeling that it will remain at the top of the page for very long. A day, usually. A weekend, perhaps. Unlike a book, where one would hope to find all of the words in the same place with each reading, an online journal is expected to have new (and preferably interesting) words with each visit.
Unintentionally, I've been away from the computer for a week. The easiest explanation is life happened: family, holidays and more recovery from more ailments. Besides those reasons, this journal probably needed a rest to allow the well to be filled. At least to me, it seemed to be running dry the last couple of weeks.
The unexpected hiatus fit nicely into two weeks of vacation away from everything and everyone. It feels like a "real" vacation. It doesn't involve rushing off someplace or doing anything except recuperate, reflect and plan.
I hope everybody enjoyed the holidays and just in case I take another unanticipated break, here is to a wonderful new year!

journalicious? :D
Oh, and here's to a good new year--good karma, found desires, living memories, attained goals, (and constant effort and dreams of the ones you don't attain), big laughs, small gifts and a heart young and pure--for you. :)
And if it doesn't turn out that way, enough angst to comfort you, enough bitterness so absurd to make you laugh, enough joy to carry you, and enough optimism for better luck next year. :p
happy new year! enjoy your hiatus :-)
