hiatus

Hiatus:  a pause or gap in a sequence, series or process.

Sometimes you make life decisions that require a change in how you think and how you live.  In the last month I’ve made several major decisions that for the remainder of 2019 will bring new challenges and a permanent change in direction.

Last summer I learned that stress can have a disastrous affect on a person’s health.  As I’ve aged I respond much differently to stress than I did when I was forty and I’ve learned a lot more about myself since then too.

 Drafting my story of twenty year old Adeline Dawson and her struggle to survive after the death of her husband during the depth of the Depression is paramount.  To be able to write her story I must give up some activities to continue on my broader life journey.

I posted my first blog in December 2011, hard to believe more than seven years have passed.  It has been the last few years that I decided to post a blog every Wednesday. 

To be honest readers’ responses have been silence.  I have the numbers on how many people visit my website and the blog page but they remain unresponsive.  My readers do not engage with me.  So be it.
In a few days I will be sixty-eight and the gift I’m giving myself is to take a hiatus from writing my weekly blog.  Oh, I’ll be back – not sure when.  The future blog may transform in content, length, frequency, I don’t know at this point.

Readers, thank you for the opportunity to share my writing journey with you.
​
The journey continues.
