I’ve tried many times to write this post… each time, I’ve found myself having something else to do. Before typing this I’ve popped a pile of washing into the machine, played chess against the computer several times (and won!) and even gone off to look out of the window.
I’ve tried to do anything but write. Oh, I’ve tried to write… yes, I’ve tried, but found myself having something else to do. Hence the chess. The window. Anything but…
However, I need to explain my absence. Explain why I’ve not been around as much lately. This post isn’t fluid, it’s probably grammatically wrong, but that doesn’t matter. Not for this post.
Without going into too much detail, my Dad passed away last week. He’s been ill for a while, but always got by with good humour even if he wasn’t feeling as good as he should have been. He always managed a laugh and a smile, and never really complained about feeling ill. He had aches and pains, as we all do, which occasionally got the better of him, but he always came back, again, with a laugh and a smile.
When he passed, I was determined – am determined – more than ever – to write my book. To make him proud of me. I’m sure that he already was, but this is something else that I want to do for him now. Actually starting it properly will be a step in the right direction there! We’ll see how things go on this front… I’ll write about this in a future post.
I’m not stopping blogging.
I’m still taking a break, and don’t know when I’ll be back. I apologise for not replying to your comments, or visiting or commenting on the blogs that I follow, but I will return one day… one day soon, once things are sorted and settled.
I just wanted to explain, that’s all, with reasons and no excuses.
See you soon… and remember to Feel Good!
