The Dog's Name

Basically I am tired, jaded, and even a little angry. Mostly at myself but also at things I see happening around me, both by and to people I care about.

Being dumped (not that recently now as I look at a calendar) saw an easy return of words, which were even made easier in the last few weeks when I started to look on someone I have known for a while in a different way that I thought was returned, and maybe it was?

Unfortunately the positive "muse" of the last few weeks has decided to seek her happiness with someone else, and while this is not the sole reason for my "hole" it is definitely the "tipping point", so rather than see my writing just descend into a bottomless rant of anger, I am instead going to spend my time getting back into pre-injury shape and enjoying the company of friends...

...to whit, I am going to take a break, it may only be a short one, though it may be longer or even forever, at this point I just know I need to stop thinking so much and more so writing of my hopes only to see them crushed again.

I will still be reading and as appropriate commenting on the musings of those of you I visit regularly, and rather than just "delete", as was my first instinct a few days ago, this space will instead remain until I either feel I have something to say and embrace it again or like the realm of Ozymandias it fades into the sand, and is forgotten.

So until that decision is made, I am going to leave off with three really important words that I have found may just hold the key to life and more importantly living,
Be Here Now.

enigma said...: Good on ya, Mate, A break is a good idea, and as someone who has done it herself recently, I can say that i do feel more connected to life, in all its"gory glory" than when i am blogging too much.

Andrea Wh@tever said...: here's hoping that you are taking a break, and not a bow. coz babe, you'll be greatly missed, during this lull. hugs & kisses.; 06:12
Indiana said...: Savannah: I never knew that Sav...be well yourself :-)

Adjil: Well those perspectives would be a little angry at certain futilities and the irony of both decisions made by me and decisions made for me.

But thank you, I will still look for your musings.

Andrea: Thanks. Kisses back.; 10:32
Tiny said...: A break is good. Just hope you won't be away too too long ... Will miss your musings!

If you have time for a vacation, do some travelling. If you really can't get away, try visit places that you don't normally go to, such as a nearby park, art gallery ... etc. You'd get to experience something different and it might refresh your mind.; 09:45
Farrell said...: sorry, i dont' get when people do this.

otherwise, just post when you feel like it and don't when you don't.

Love, Fab : ); 04:58
Scorpy said...: I know how you feel mate...I still have not surfaced from my break and I too have had an 'interest' flit away to another flower while I healed.
