Summertime!

I love being able to hop into the car or run outside and have no need to put on a jacket! I'm not much of an outdoorsy type, so you won't catch me celebrating that it's finally the season for...anything. But no jacket? No socks? Perhaps even no shoes? I am happy with those simple pleasures.

Since I DON'T partake of the camping, fishing, biking, sporting, boating, swimming, or any of those other summery activities, I have no real excuse for letting six weeks pass since my last post.

I hang my head in shame.

OK, so not shame. But I do feel a twinge, not a full-blown pang, of guilt for not keeping up with my writing.

I have been to a bridal shower, a wedding, and a family reunion, so it's not as if I've been completely idle. I've also purged my closet a bit. I put in one winter coat and took out one full bag of items to toss or donate and it seems as if I have less room than before. And I am still writing, albeit in bursts of 140 or fewer characters on Twitter

Speaking of Twitter, I may have to write more about that in my next post. I've discussed social media before, in April 2014 and back in July 2013. I believe I have some additional thoughts to share on the topic, and it looks like I'm due again anyway.

In the meantime, feel free to browse what's been on my mind so far in 2016. And remember, I welcome your feedback! (Blech! I've got to find a snappier way to say that.)
