when i was a kid, my cousin had a record -- yes remember those things -- with the music of The Mickey Mouse Club, a TV soundtrack, i suppose. with only 3 channels on the TV, when together, we'd do all sorts of inventive things like listen to that record and sing happily along. sort of amazing to think what entertained us back then in comparison to how things are now (don't i sound so old saying that?).
we'd laugh ourselves into hysterics over one song's line that talked about swimming and, "the last one in is a you-know-what." that "you-know-what" kept us rolling though i really don't know why, and still don't know "what."
anyway the record ended with the TV shows closing song, "now it's time to say goodbye to all our family. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E."
well, don't ask why cause i couldn't tell you, but this little tune popped into my head as i started writing this blog. maybe cause i am saying goodbye. i'm just too delinquent of a blogger and find there are such fabulous voices out there, that one more isn't really needed so much. at least not one who can't quite find her voice except in the pages of fiction. and i have lots of fiction to explore in the coming months, so will put on the voice of different characters and speak there, i suppose.
maybe i'll get more involved in some of my favorites blogs, or maybe not. this challenging year, or so, of personal bumps and bruises continues with no immediate end in sight. it will come. hope always keeps the porch light on and most of us know that, even when we're too far from the front porch to see it. but we know it's there, waiting.
so wanted to say THANKS to all of you who read and emailed or commented. to readers and friends and family and strangers. i've wanted to get to know so many of you better, or send a personal note of appreciation. but when in certain places, you sort of revert to survival mode and though your head wishes to do many things, and thinks many thoughts, the actual accomplishing gets lost somewhere. for that, i am sorry. please, and please again, know that i've greatly appreciated all of it.
but now it is time....
GOD's peace and grace and love to each of you,
C-I-N-D-Y M-A-R-T-I-N-U-S-E-N

I understand your sentiments. My own personal blog sits vacant, and I wonder if I should give it up. Yes, does the world need one more writer blogging about writing? Probably not :-)
Anyway, God's blessings and peace on you, Cindy.

Cindy,
I'll miss popping in to see what you're up to. I enjoyed getting to know you just a bit. But, if I gotta choose, I'll take your books. Bring it on, my friend!
I just found your blog. I'll miss seeing new stuff. Sorry things are bumpy with you. I will pray for you! Check out my blog if you have time: "Random Thoughts" by Fannie Ryan. Blessings, Fannie
If you are interested in my tip influenced in some regard by Potok--that ideal silence--my Jewish background allows for PROGRESSION in esteem towards the other monotheist thought/ways of self-realization. I feel I don't have to go around the corner to find Islam; And well Christianity is found like so many dust motes that may fill grand central station, meaning its ubiquity in this dispensation, our megalopolis & its movement thru out times. Also I could say that the new yet old message is as this movement, that of the NOW, & the old--the collective strivings of this Church. Peace
