Hello Again

I cross this bridge a lot; it's the one from Milford, New Jersey to Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania. There is a more direct route to PA via the Frenchtown bridge, but that bridge is under construction (possibly until the 12th of Never). So I take this detour that adds about 20 minutes to my trips but it also gives me time to really look at the bridge and think about what I'm seeing. 

After a longer-than-anticipated break—thanks to an ongoing series of medical tests and the unpredictable detours life tends to throw—I’m finally back. The time away has been necessary, sometimes frustrating, sometimes clarifying. But now, even though the sign says no diving or jumping, it’s time to dive back into writing blog posts.

Blogging isn’t always easy. Some days the words come slow, and the doubts come fast. But what I’ve missed most isn’t just the writing—it’s you. The people. The connections. The quiet encouragements and the kind messages from those who reached out to say they were thinking of me, and even missed me.

It’s amazing how much a simple “you were missed” can do. So I offer a big thank you. A little encouragement truly does go a long way—and here I am, back at the keyboard.

See you in the comments. Let’s pick up where we left off.
