Until Next Time

~*~
Where am I going?  Well, erm, not sure.  On just about every level.  Though perhaps it is better to say that I have already been gone, left- which you might already know.  Not gone gone.  Just in the sense of not having been here. 
~*~
I think about you all the time, and try to will myself to post.  But my posts always start with an apology for not having been here more frequently, and even I don't want to hear that, so I erase the apology.  But then, I find I have nothing that I feel compelled to write.  Because frankly I don't feel moved by my usual topics, and can't quite muster a light-hearted attitude or positive spin on a consistent basis.  Lovely things still happen, but I hold them and keep them close.  I consider sharing the beauty, but don't want to risk making special times less special in the retelling.  So I exit the blog and go on.
~*~
Go on about the business at hand.  Go on about caring for Sophia, caring for our new cat, learning the area, trying to find a real job, keeping the house clean and the clothes washed, filling out mountains of paperwork.  Go on about trying to find my life balance and my even keel.  Go on about deciding who to let in and how, and who to let go and how.  Go on about discovering how much of the past needs to make sense before I just enjoy the present and push ahead to the future. Go on about all of those things that might actually be good to blog about sometimes.
~*~
So, I figured that since I am *gone* I owe it to you to point and wave at that elephant in the room.  And let you know that it is not without regret.  And to let you know that I am still going, and I hope to make it back.  As hard as it will be for me to post seldom and unapologetically, maybe I will get there one day.  And if I do, I hope to see you there!

The Big Five Oh Oh


This is my 500th blog post! When I first started this blog two years ago, I had no idea how much I would enjoy it. My favorite part? YOU! I can't tell you how much I love to read your comments, or see that you have visited. I jump up and down when I get a new *follower*, and look forward to staying connected with my friends and family every day.
~*~
So, thank you from the bottom of my little bloggy heart. As a small token of my appreciation, I'm giving away a $10 sosobucks award- can be used as cash in sosorosey or sosovintage. For the main entry, all you have to do is leave a comment here telling me your favorite thing about my blog or etsy shop(s). Shameless, I know. Get an extra entry by being or becoming a follower- just be sure to note that in your comment.
~*~
I'll use random.org to find the winner, and will post the name here Sunday night. *Contest* ends at 10 pm eastern standard time, October 10th. Ten ten ten. Hope to hear from you soon, and again, big huge thanks!
