...like maybe I was dominating the conversation and that I am long winded. Sorry about that. I mean, I hope having said all that people got some stuff out of those nearly two million words. Also, I hope everyone understands I said/wrote all that because I like the people here, in this small place on the world wide web. I would not have said so much if I did not think all of you were worth talking too. 

I can see that the furniture here was rearranged and you changed the drapes. I hope all is well with everyone. I had my last doctor's appointment for a while, I hope, last Friday. Lots of other mishaps have befallen me along the way recently, 2025 being the year that seems to want to kill me, but health wise I am better.  

If I go silent or missing for a time it is just that I am a bit overwhelmed with what life is handing me. 

I should have stuck with writing as a career. I didn't but obviously, yeah, I can churn out lots of words. 

I was sitting talking with this guy that thinks he is god, the Judeo/Christian one, yesterday and he said "You love words, that inspires me." and I did not know how to take that. I had told him some story, years ago, and he now claims this story is what set him on the path he is on. That's kind of terrible and horrific in a way. I did not sleep well after that. 

We live in a time of sleepless nights, I think, with the news that comes at us daily. 

I will continue to try to contribute here, words, and hope if I can. I battle the same thoughts as anybody else, and with the people here, I know, I am not alone in this. We are not alone in this.
