No News Is Good News?

 My mother frequently used the expression, "no news is good news", meaning that if nothing bad came up in correspondence or the media, it must mean that all is well.  In some respects, I agree; however, my own experience tells me that silence from any source can mean that things aren't going well enough to talk about.  It's like raising a toddler.  When they get quiet is when you need to get worried.

I've been largely absent from this venue for some weeks.  I've started several posts but never finished them.  What's up with that?  I wish I knew!

Most of the time, I have a burning desire to express myself, like anything I have to say would be mind-bogglingly important to the world.  The truth is, who cares?  What I think and feel is important to me, but the rest of the world sees me as an aging organism, out of touch with the world.  I have to admit that in some respects, that is true, but doesn't experience count for something?  Might I not have something to share that would help someone?  

Should people be worried that I haven't written anything in this blog for awhile?  Maybe.  I am just feeling somewhat invisible...and discounted, perhaps.  There is so much hypocrisy and negativity in the world right now that I have been reluctant to add to it by whining.  Do I need to whine?  Well--doesn't everyone?  Venting can be therapeutic for the complainer, perhaps, but not others who aren't falling into that black hole.  Thus, I've largely been curling up in a corner in silence until I can find something of interest to share.  You're welcome.
