ZEN Bitchin'

This morning, as I was sitting in front of my computer in my new office, at work on the plans for the magazine’s next issue, I thought briefly about logging on to my new/old blog.

If you’re one of the few spectators of my blogging life, you know that I recently moved back to blogger after almost 2 years with my previous platform. Along with this move, I left my apartment after a mere six months because my landlord refused to renew the lease, which I had acquired from a friend. And then, days before the official move, I was robbed while I was sound asleep in my room.

All these moving, these comings and goings–literal and figurative–have contributed to this “block” that I couldn’t seem to get out of. Pardon the clunky term, but it’s the only word I can come up with as of this writing. Aside from fixing the new house, I don’t seem to have much of an appetite for everything–work, play, interaction, church, cooking, and writing.

I did many things: learned a new card game, shopped for second-hand stuff, bought fish, and traveled. But these did not rejuvenate me.

However, I realize I am writing now. So probably the block is on its way to a happy non-existence. It feels good to be writing again. I will probably have more to say in the coming days. I hope the handful of readers that I have will await my further “effusions” as if I weren’t absent for more than 4 weeks.
