I think I might be back. I miss this space more than you know, although I can’t be sure that I even knew it. Trite, to be sure, but I missed something about the challenge of a turn of phrase (if I have those), the craft of blogging (it surely is, published authors), the time I spent filling my brain with words rather than Millionaire Matchmaker (although fulfilling in a spray cheese kind of way). I missed you.
I’m not sure I’m comfortable revealing all that’s going on with me right now, but that’s a good exercise in and of itself. Stretch the muscles, readjust to the light. Allow your eyes and mine to see where things have gone, where I’ve stepped since we last held virtual hands. I haven’t holiday napkins to recommend for your table or a low-budget wine to review, no child to dress in Halloween fare nor a fitness regimen to cheer with excessive exclamations. Indulge the navel gazing, won’t you? It’s where I am right now. Color you surprised.
It’s nice to see you again.

Besides the Halloween costume, I’ve got none of those things either.
Drinks? Maybe? Soon?
I’ve just returned to my neglected space as well. I don’t recommend reading it any time soon, or you may need to drink more wine.
Welcome back, mama.
It’s nice to see you again.
Let’s talk about wine, instead.
Glad you are back!
Nice to see you, too, poodle.
I’m with the majority trend. More drinking, more navel-gazing.
PS Heart the title. Don’t call it a comeback.
Nice to see you back on the ‘tubes. I’ll have a beer.
It’s nice to read you again. Now have some wine.
I’ve been reading your blog a long time and refused to delete it from my reader. I so look forward to your posts! I on the other hand don’t know if I can get back in the saddle or not. Only time will tell.
It is GREAT to see you. Miss you.
I’ve got none of those either. Navel gazing abounds.
And welcome back.
Navel gazing is my favorite.
You’ve been missed.
HOORAY. Write more now.
This is the best thing to happen in weeks. Now I’m totally going to have to blow the dust off my moribund blog.
(Yeah, that’s right. I used moribund.)
xoxoxo
even better to read you again!!
So happy to “hold virtual hands” again, missed you! Have a fantastic weekend
Damn nice to see you again, too. Missed your particular turns of phrase.
I am more than happy to see more of you on here. I am in “Full Wino Appreciation Mode” these days.
Colour me delighted! It’s so good to ’see’ you again! :)
I have only recently found your blog and am pleased that you are’back’, I can never seem to put my thoughts into words that make any sense – I think I need an audio blog :) – but you express yourself so well that I can just write through you. I dont know exactly how many times I have written comments and deleted them but this one sort of makes sense. I look forward to reading more and welcome back!
WOW, Kris, you’re back?! I truly understand what you mean about the navel gazing, things happening in your life, and the not having kids to dress up etc. I had things happen -we all do- and I am still trying to get back my blogging mojo. I had a long hiatus, and now it feels like hard work. But I am determined to try & rediscover the FUN that I had expressing myself.
I’m glad you’re back. It’s good to read you again.
It’s nice having a place to which one can return without apology or explanation. Getting back into blogging is like cuddling up with your baby blanket, while sucking down some Franzia with Sarah McLachlan playing in the background (on the stereo, not the television with that make-me-slit-my-wrists ad about saving animals). Right? Right.
And from the number of people who have commented, you’ve been missed.
I’ve had your blog in my favorites since I found it a couple of years ago. I’ve been checking every couple of weeks with a hopeful heart that you were back writing here. Quite simply, I very often read your thoughts and feel less alone in my thoughts. Simple, but priceless (at least to me).
