It may not be clear from the words appearing on my post and all, but I am taking a little break from writing today. Not like breaking up, exactly, just taking a break. I’ll say it – I’m going through a selfish phase. It’s not you, it’s me. I need some time. Let’s still be friends*.
But really, seriously now, I am reconnecting with the other parts of me, the little lost parts.
There’s no Christmas-shopper part. There’s no good-sister part. There’s no good-friend part. There’s only a sliver of a good-server part. There’s not much of a cooker or a cleaner or a book-reader part.
But I will relocate my Wife pieces and my Mama pieces, and I will polish them till they shine. (And if, purely by coincidence, bathrooms also happen to shine today, that will be a bonus.) I want to recover something that has started to slip in all the bustle of the past couple of months. If that means I disappear from some of the other roles I’ve been playing, at least I’ll know I’m focusing on the pieces that matter most.
*If I had been responsible for more breakups in my past, I could probably come up with more lines. But, whatever, I guess I was always on the other end…
It's a hard thing to rebalance life. Some things just take more priority. I'm glad you're taking time for yours.

Is there something in the air? I'm feeling EXACTLY the same way. Exactly.
