Return to Blogging

You (whoever dear reader, you may be) might have noticed that I took a break there for a while. It has been over a month since my last post. The simple explanation is that I’ve been busy. My children are visiting for the summer and I’ve been occupying my time with them.

However, as I explained a month ago, I was getting more and more irate with my posts, the more news I watched and the more information I gathered, the angrier I got, so I had to take a break there for a while and hide my head in the sand.

I tend to take things too personally, too seriously and get aggravated over things I can’t change. Now that’s not to say that certain issues shouldn’t be taken seriously or personally, or that efforts shouldn’t be made to make change, however it’s important to keep a realistic view of how much you can change and to not get too frustrated with what you can’t lest you allow it to consume you.

So I’m back, making a concerted effort to continue commenting on the things that frustrate me without allowing it to overwhelm me. Spending the last month with my children has definitely helped me put the important things in life into perspective.
