Come Home Son

Update: This is my photo for iHeartfaces photo contest – Sunglasses.
The boy is coming home tomorrow after being away for almost two weeks.
I haven’t written anything in almost three days. Three days may not seem like a long time, but I believe it’s the first time it’s happened in almost two years. In August, I will have reached a major milestone, LifeSignatures will be two years old.
Over those same two years, I’ve written almost every day, painstakingly chronicling everything in my life from major life lessons for my kids to my broken air conditioner. It was a big deal at the time.
The thoughts and words flowed effortlessly like a river over rocks. This week however, there was nothing. No words, no photos, the well seemed dry. I couldn’t put two words together and rather than try, I just let it go.
I continued to just live my life, do my work, cook my food. All the time wondering when my mojo will come back. I think I’m still waiting.
I look forward to seeing the boy tomorrow. I missed him so. I haven’t received a single letter from him. I don’t know if that contributed to my mood this week or not, but I would hypothesize that it probably is so.
I can’t wait until my family is back together again.
“This too shall soon pass”.
I thought you were out traveling to some exotic place!
Hope you get your mojo back soon!
huge hugs coming your way…i’m in the same boat…i thought my mojo ran the away because ‘that’s what summertime is all about…living life not blogging about it’ but here lately I’m thinking I”m just in a blah frame of my mind. I havent picked up my camera in about a week….thats a big one for me.
I hope it passes soon…for you and for me…
I’m glad the boy will be back soon.
I’ve missed your posts. Don’t worry, you’ll be back to yourself again soon. I know it! Hugs.
I know what you mean…sometimes I want to write or photograph, and it’s like I just CAN’T. I know that those times it’s best for me to take a break, because I only get frustrated when I try to force it. Everyone needs a rest, glad you had a little one, and glad your boy is coming home!
you did the right thing..stay engaged in the everyday simple part of life…you will be glad to see him I know!!
