Hackneyed or not, this time of year is about looking forward and back, planning, regretting, forgiving, believing, reliving, relieving, reviving.

I haven’t written in months. Between sorrow about miscarriage, my son’s behavior, and the new pregnancy, it felt self-indulgent.

But that whisper comes back…beckoning me.

I am not my best me without writing.

Returning, shedding of guilt of the writing fits and starts of 2011.

Promising and promise-free.

Happy New Year. See you tomorrow.
