Coming out of hiatus

 A small step for man and a giant leap for mankind- Neil Armstrong 

So what do you do when you come out of your hiatus and start your blog again ? Well, you write !!! But what do you write about ? Have your creative juices all dried up ? Let’s find out. How ? Just write, anything that comes to mind. Why did I stop writing and for so long? 

It stopped with certain personal reasons. I was getting a good response for my blog, it was a creative outlet in an otherwise mundane routine. But life has its own quirkiness to reroute your perspective and throw you in if not murky, but definitely muddy water. A family member’s health, COVID and change of residence all contributed to make me feel I had nothing to do but ebb along where life was taking me. But as I look back it was my weakness to let the circumstances affect me. Instead of blogging to take away my stress, I started to get bogged down by stress. 

So what changed now? Interestingly my own blog which appeared as a memory on my Facebook account and a comment of a friend of mine Rummy. No, there was nothing extraordinary, but seeing her name there jolted me out of my reverie of self pity and inspired me. Now she is a woman who has made big headway in her professional life, balances her career and home life with efficiency of a juggler, hosts very stylish parties and is there when you need a friend to hold your hand. She has to travel a lot in her line of work but still finds time to post a picture or to comment friend’s post. 

So I thought if she can do so much , can’t I with all the time on my hand atleast write a small blog? 

So here I am , first thing in the morning writing while sipping on my hot water. Thank you Rummy.

A small step has been taken. Let’s hope there is a giant leap

So be it !!!
