I Cried Like A...

... person who embraces a long lost friend.

The blog entry “Good To Be Back… Or Is It?” was quick in the making after a lengthy period of isolation from submitting any letters to the editor of Hernando Today.

Finally, words that suited my personal acceptance was delivered, by e-mail, for consideration of being printed. A fine time to do it after a couple of months of the far and few entries in my blogs.

There was a bit of passion on the topic. A feeling of accomplishment for writing on a subject that got my goat. It was an opportunity to express emotions about the state of affairs in Hernando County. And I did it without the gloat of self arrogance.

The words came about as a second-round thought process. Boy oh boy the first word document was a bunch of gibberish, making comments about a variety of topics from Sundays’s editions of Hernando Today and the Hernando Times.

Goats, the supervisor of elections and amphibians. It went on and on, making a few points here and there but, upon re-reading the words, most definitely going nowhere in slow motion. I was rather upset when I shut down the computer at the end of Sunday’s hours.

What did I finally come up with? Monday morning brought about a frenzy and pointed thoughts on a single topic. A bite here and a lashing there. And what did I come up with? Something that brought back a feeling of creative accomplishment. Will it get printed anywhere else than on my blog? Whatever. The important matter is that it truly mattered to me.

Yes, my eyes dampened on completion of saving the expressions on Word Document. Then, the send key shot it out to be reviewed by the Editors. ‘Nuff said, ‘nuff done. The exercise was fun.

And now this somewhat private, candid explanation of my dampened pleasures.

May this drought of blog entries come to an ending.

No, I didn’t need a tissue to soak up the salty moisture. It quickly evaporated as swift typing on the keyboard added this very blog to my repertoire.
