Can I write a blog post about not writing blog posts, despite having thoughts worth putting down for others to read?
Should I go back through the myriad emails exchanged with friends that seem to have taken the place of posts, to find the ideas shared and reflections on events (personal or national) that are contained in those exchanges?
Is the absence of posts, and the plethora of emails, a positive indicator of me coming out of social isolation and into a rewarding interaction with peers?
When I worked full time, I posted.
Once I retired, and presumably had more time to write, I stopped.
I retired in the heart of Covid isolation, so one would think I would have posted more. Maybe the sudden, rapid decline in health that accompanied retirement (not Covid, other chronic issues) distracted me? Or refocused me?
What will it take for me to resume posting?
Do I want to do so?
Other pastimes (notably jewelry making) have lost their appeal. Is the same proving true with blogging?
I guess, as my readers (however many remain) will find out, it is now for me and them a question of wait and see.

Your writing is insightful and thoughtful and your ideas worthy of reflection. As a writer, I sympathize with the push/pull of posting regularly. What do I have to say that anyone wants to read? What ideas haven’t already been beat to death with a battered broom? And then I realize, the crux of the matter is that I’m too lazy to post regularly. ☺️ Write when the mood strikes. You have loyal readers.

As I have built a social network that I email or text with regularly, much of my reflective output goes into those communucations, obviating the need to verbalize them in a post
