Dear Family and Friends

Dear Friends and Family:



I am sending you all a letter to explain a few things.



First off, yes I am alive and doing well. I have not ended my life or anything drastic. I have just become a little preoccupied. I know that I have been neglecting a few aspects of my life lately. I do not mean too. I will return a phone call, or stop to have a coffee if you so choose to stop by.



I admit that I have had a lot of things running through my head in the past little while. Nothing too serious, nothing to cause concern but things that I am constantly thinking of. No, I am not suicidal or depressed as some have pointedly expressed their concerns. My kids are not suffering they are still being cared for. But in the long run they can enjoy themselves with me. I am more relaxed, at ease and willing to take the time to listen.



I am spending my time on a great little website that I have come across. Writing.com.



I can sort through the thoughts that run through my head and speak without saying a word. I can read other peoples work of art and lose myself in a world that is created for the sole purpose of expression.



Being the person that I am, you all know that I can be quite expressive when it comes to my feelings. Instead of lashing out because I feel strongly I can organize my thoughts and talk and discuss.



I have met wonderful friends who take the time to help me with my writing. I know that I could show you guys at any time, but let us face reality. You are prejudiced. I could hand you what I thought was the worse thing or I could hand you what I thought was a masterpiece and the response would be the same. This is good! So how are the kids doing in school?



I am not sure how far I want to take my writing. In fact I could go no farther then what I am at right now, just getting things off my chest. But should I want to take it anywhere, I am in the place to do it.



Besides, I have friends, doing something I love and I am not hurting anyone. In other words I am content and happy, which is what you all want for me, RIGHT?!?



I am here at home, usually in front of the computer, I will always stop for a coffee and some good conversation. You never know you could be the one that gives me my next topic of inspiration. You could just see it in something I have written.



I love you all deeply but I hear Writing.com calling.
