Returning from Sabbatical

I've been on an unannounced sabbatical from blogging and social media in general for the last few weeks.  It all started because the month of May became simply impossible from a scheduling standpoint, and then I had a series of emotional events involving family members; some good, some bad.  Back in the old days I would have sunk into what I called a "black mood" for several weeks and just stayed there until I came out of it.

However my brain chemistry and my outlook on life is different these days.  While I didn't do a lot of writing I tried to stay focused on my clients, my family and my health.  Now I'm on the other side of a tough period and I feel better.

Stress makes my ADHD worse.  I experienced this first hand, and there were times I could feel myself getting frustrated over mistakes and omissions.  However, I kept telling myself to breathe deep and recognize that I was doing the best I could.  This is all any of us can do.

I'm looking forward to getting back to a more regular writing schedule.  I'm also grateful that calmer times have returned to my life.
