Well, here we are...

Back in the saddle again. There's only one thing to do when you fall off a horse...climb back on.
Right Rick? ;-)

Hello Friends, Family and Critics,
First, it appears that little ol' me is not the only one to have issues with this problem of late. If these folks can handle it what's my excuse? So, after some lectures from some family and friends, and after giving much thought as to why I want to continue blogging, I decided to return. (You knew I would. ;-)

All I'm going to say is that I allowed one small-minded critic to run me off. Shame on me! There will always be critics. Always someone with a difference of opinion. Someone who misinterprets something I write. Someone who thinks they know everything. Someone who gets offended. It can't be helped. It was not necessarily the critic themselves that got me riled. No, it was the opinion they hold and how degrading it is to women, that got me. There is more to this story but it would serve no purpose to write it. Suffice it to say, that I have decided that I will write what I will and let the critics say what they will. I have found the heart to write again, and for that I am thankful.

Thanks for hanging around. I really do appreciate it!

Peace Out.

Glad you're back! I know about critics, I got a rather lengthy comment (anonymous of course!)last year that caused me to rethink my blog as well. Then I remember, there will always be critics in every other area of my life, so why let that stop me? Blog on!

Thanks Kathy.
I wish this comment had been anonymous, but alas this person had the nerve to say it to my face. I have forgiven them, but my confidence was quit shaken. But thanks to a strong support system, I will recover. :)
