Well, I’m back, I think.
When last we met I told you I was contemplating abandoning this blog and perhaps focusing my writing over on my author page: Michael R. Fletcher VA.
That’s been my plan over the last month and a half. Until I officially retired this past weekend.
I’ve put too much time and effort into this blog just to let it go.
Truth is, there was just a lot going on in July. And I do mean a lot.
If you know, you know. If not, maybe I’ll put it in a book some day.
All that to say that Saturday morning, my last “official” day of employment. I started rethinking the writing
Morning Cup 9/3/2024
and the blog.
For a long time leading up to retirement and really to the last post in July, I was making plans for social media interaction, art projects, things to posts, things to sell, and it was causing not a small amount of stress.
I finally told myself “no, I don’t need to do that.”
I don’t need to figure out how to be an influencer, or a marketer, or an online coach, or any of that.
I just need to be me. I need to write. I need to create art.
If it catches on fire and makes me a bazillionaire, then great.
If not. I’ll be just fine.
And, for now anyway, I’ll be right here.
Well, maybe not every day.
