22 December 2022

trouble with the light...

it's been over a year since i was really here.  i kept meaning to get back here and really wanted to write.  i was caught up in holiday season madness november and december of last year, then on january first in the middle of the first class of a year long course, my computer crashed.

things accumulated to turn 2022 into a really bad year, one that i barely survived.  but, survive i did, and i'm here now and really wanting to be.

i'd planned to restart blogging back at samhain. when that didn't happen i thought solstice would be the perfect time.  i have such trouble with the light, both figurative and literal.  this time when the sunlight is becoming a tad more pronounced seems an excellent time to try to bring a little light back into myself.

so, here i am. 

i have no "plan", no scheme of how often i'll blog, what i'll write about, or anything like that.

i'll just show up when and how i can and i'll be happy with that.  yes?

today is very overcast and rainy, my second favorite type of winter day. the temps are dropping and tomorrow night's low is 8degrees F.  

i've the makings for chili on saturday. tonight i think will be a nachos night, but as i've an online class in an hour, i'll see how i feel after.  

i'm so happy to be back here.  and i so appreciate those who are still here with me.  

oh! that reminds me, i could use a bit of advice on blog readers.  i was using bloglovin but it has been very finicky for the last year or more, it takes days to be able to pull up my feed and sometimes i can't access it for weeks.  i've been trying to move my feed over to wordpress, but i'm having trouble with that one too.  what readers/feeders do you use to keep up with your blog reading.  i'd so appreciate any suggestions.

well...off to prep a snack tray to get me through class.

hope you are all having a wonderful day

love & magicks

Sounds good, Laura! Glad to see you back in the blogosphere! I just use the "reading list" function that is found on my Blogspot blog's dashboard to follow blogs which I subscribe to using the Followers function, also on my Blogspot blog software.

If it's a newer blog that doesn't use a Followers function or is a Wordpress blog, I just copy its url address, and paste it into the pop-up dialogue box which opens when I click "Manage" up on the top right of my readers list page and then click on "Add" on the top right of the page listing all the blogs I follow. It works well!
