All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Reflection
Off and on, spent the better part of 16 plus years as an active, participating member in this community. Looking back on it now, had an epiphany when I was reading one of my own recent blog entries. It was, 'the only person you entertain here might be yourself.'

Musing alone is akin to inducing schizophrenic episodes. But, I'm been counted as safe from that affliction, because I'd be a mental institution or dead by now. So, chalk it up to a healthy imagination. That begs the question, 'when am I going to grow up?' Can't be a boy forever.

Just quit a job of 11 years the other day that was less rewarding and unfulfilling as time went on. I found a new job that I'm satisfied with. Fingers crossed. But, I'm at a crossroads with many things. Primarily, health should be my main concern. I'm ignoring that I'm putting my body through rigors that are taking a toll on my organs. I could ease back. We'll see.

Writing is another animal. I have more time for it now. I also need time to be in reflection and consider what I want to do going forward. Going through my blogs and other items and cutting some fat recently makes me realize that I spend far too much time with my ADHD brain spinning me around, instead of focusing on one true thing to be passionate about. What this is, I need to figure out.

So, in the meantime, since a lot of contests went cold on here, I can focus on me. I can keep trimming and paring back these mindless hedges and see if I can bonsai this portfolio tree.

I have other concerns that are related to my online words that I won't speak just yet.
