coming out of hiding just for today

yep. just for today i'm coming out of hiding. basically to thank those of you (you know who you are) for leaving such heartfelt and kind comments on my post about my dad. i could feel the love and compassion from you all, and again i thank you.

i think that maybe around May of this year i will probably shut down my blog. it's not set in stone, but i have been thinking about it a lot these days. though i enjoy writing, here of late i really don't have much to say. when it gets like that for me, it's usually a sign that it's time to go. i started this thing in May of last year, and at first i didnt think anybody would care to read it, but i see i was wrong. i have met some pretty wondeful people thru this blog, but as with all good things, they have to come to an end sometimes. then again, i might still keep the blog, but post sporadically - i dunno. right now i have mixed feelings about this, and perhaps i'm still hurting over the fact that today was a year ago i was on a Greyhound bus to South Carolina and this weekend i was at my father's grave saying goodbye.

i have a myriad of emotions going on in my heart and in my head, and i suppose the thoughts about shutting down this blog is somehow mixed in with these emotions. maybe once this weekend is over, i might think differently - who knows.

only time will tell where this will lead. oh well. back into the shell i go.

I hope you don't shut the blog down. There's no rule as to how often you should blog or what you should blog about. If you only want to post once a month, or even once a year, that's your choice. Write whenever the mood strikes.

I know you're going thru a difficult time right now. A lot of emotions are coming to the surface that were kind of put on the back burner as you went about your daily life. You will get thru this, it's just going to take some time. It's ok to allow yourself to grieve, it's healthy. Just take care of you & don't worry about the blog for now. It'll be here whenever you're ready.
Hugs,
Sid

Nope, your not allowed to shut your blog down!!! You can close the door for a couple of days, but your not allowed to tear it down. I would miss you way too much.
