I don't know what's up with that. I usually don't lack for something to say or a picture to post most days.
Blogging is, for me, a form of self-therapy. It has gotten me through the long stretches when Alison and I have been apart. It has made it a little easier to knock about my big old empty house. Alone.
It has gotten me through the loss of my dog. It has kept me from going crazy.
It has become a habit to post something most every day, but the past few days I haven't felt all that compelled to post.
Life is really good right now. I am with Ali and her kids in France. We are spending Christmas and New Years together. Together. That sounds really good, doesn't it?
This is the best I have felt during the holidays in many years. For the first time in ages, I do not dread these holidays.
Maybe the lack of output is evidence that I don't need the therapy right now.
I can so relate to the therapeutic aspect of blogging. One might even call it cathartic.
I hope that each year to come brings you both closer together and that your joy continue to grow as does your love for one another.
Happiest of holidays to you all!

It does sound good. I remember when I had my first Christmas with Don - how good it felt. I lost a child in a boating accident some years ago, and since that day Christmas has been hard. It's still not excellent, but Don has helped so much. It's nice to be cared for.

isn't it amazing how different you feel about the world when you love and are loved back? great, isn't it?
and i wouldn't worry about the blogging. you have blogging in your fingers, so it won't be long before you are blogging up a storm again. hell, you better, because i want to see what new pictures you snap. you've a great eye, and a camera that seems to show what you see.
merry chrismas amigo.
yes, life CAN be good.

Hee hee... I feel much the same way lately, Allan. I have found myself posting photos in lieu of too much talking. Here's to love and happiness!

Glad to hear all is well with you and the gang. Now relax, Allan.. If you don't feel the need to write, you can always post a picture!
Snap away! And enjoy the holidays!

Working at a computer help desk, I usually only talk to people when they have problems. I joke with some about having a job where I can say "I hope I DON'T hear from you!" and it is a good thing...
Should I be saying that to you?

Just enjoy yourself and the holidays with Ali and the kids :)
Merry Christmas!

When I really need the therapy and ability to whine electronically, a pipe in our house broke which brought major chaos into our lives. Our big computer through which all the wireless goes is disconnected. So, hello from Starbucks!
