The Queen and Her Cat

The Queen is stately and serious. Even on her days off, she glides down her many palace staircases, in her favorite royal bathrobe, surveying all there is to be done. There is always so much to do!

Her cat is not serious. But she likes to watch the Queen being serious. It is funny to Cat.

Shake Off the Freeze

What is the best path to take when returning from a long hiatus?

Is it best to try and explain the absence, fill all the white space with words by releasing your every action and thought onto the page?

Is it best to turn a blind eye to the echoing, empty stretch that just passed online - restraining yourself from clarifying why that expanse exists, or even looking back into it - because it's gone now and we're starting fresh?

Probably some combination of Restraint/Release.

I'm shaking off some of the freeze and getting back to work - and part of that work is blogging. So, hello again.
