I have been away from this blog for quite some time now for the simple reason I had been the primary caregiver of my now, late husband. I had no time or energy to write. Remembering that there is a time for everything — “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance”, a few months ago, I put on my dancing shoes and re-engaged in the world again. I resumed ballroom dancing, found new friends and new activities. I recently discovered tai chi and am finding it very enjoyable and emotionally healing. I am smiling, laughing and enjoying life once again. I think there is truth in the Buddhist philosophy that change in life is inevitable. But I’ve found that even unpleasant change can bring new opportunities for growth. I hope to get back to writing on the fourth novel I had started. In the meantime, I shall resume blogging between my tai chi lessons!
