No Blogs Allowed

Remember "Snoopy, Come Home".  Peanuts?  If not, no worries.

I am getting ready to start back to work next Monday after a 6+ year hiatus that started when my daughter was born.  Gulp.  The first thing I thought was (and in that low, dirge-like tune) "No blogs allowed..."  By blog, I meant my writing.  I do try to write a bit every day.  Some days, it's hard, yes, even for a stay-at-home Mom.  I made the immediate assumption that my writing would have to go to the back of the line in my life.  But it doesn't.

Priorities must be priorities, no?  Tasks all seem to expand to fit the time you have.  Now I am thinking that this job, part-time as it is, will force me to use all of my time more wisely and efficiently.  It also seems to me that, if you don't go to a traditional job, something becomes "work."  Tasks around the house, cooking, even writing.  Already rearranging things in my head, I can see a new kind of joy in doing those very things as a "break" from work (I'll be working from home).  It's all about perspective, right?

So, yes, there will be blogging.  And blogging with a new zeal.  I'll keep you posted.

Ciao for now!

Oh, no, they can't take that away from me...

Writing is a hobby that cannot be taken away from you, really.  So, go outside today and enjoy the weather, if you have the lovely weather we have here.  We are always composing in our heads, and I do like that.  Have a notebook or netbook handy, but go.  It's too nice outside today to do much blogging...

Ciao for now!
