Is pillowy an actual word?

It's been a while. No excuses, just doing other things. But lately - at least - I've been thinking not just about this blog but about writing again. We'll see what comes of it.

I was camping on the weekend and the urge to write was strong, so I picked up a piece of paper and started laying some words down, only to be interrupted when Dave served up some bacon 'n eggs. Is there anything better than pork & fowl in the great outdoors?

I promptly put down my paper and chowed down.

There's so much going on in the world, so much bad, so much that I don't know enough to comment on, and every time I do I get into trouble, so I try to keep my yap closed. After a while, I don't feel qualified enough to comment on anything. And who seriously cares if I have bacon and eggs while camping? Or what's going on in my mediocre little life?

I guess the only reasons to continue with a blog is because my writing skills are so rusty I'm going to need a crowbar to loosen them up; because I miss the diary-like connection of mind to keyboard; and because I miss the camaraderie of blogland. Facebook is pretty harsh some days. Blogger is pillowy by comparison.

Thanks for the e-mail, Rob-Bear. Means a lot.

  1. Cathy! You were on my mind this week. Good to hear from you. Yeah, I hear Facebook is rough. Blogging is much safer. Hope you hang around and are inspired to write again.

  2. I have hidden and blocked so many posts and pages. I cannot stand all the gloom and doom and everyone's need to share it ten trillion times on FB. Glad you are back.

  4. Hello stranger. Lovely to see you pop up again. (And you have reinforced the reasons I don't play FB).

    1. Hey EC!!! Lovely to see you, too. I still like the FB - there's a lot of stuff going on there I don't want to miss out on. But still. It gets on one's nerves a LOT.

  5. You're back!! So wonderful to see you!
    I do FB with my family members. It's the only way I see photos of my grandson in Switzerland.
