Hello

Why is it that the times when I am the most tired, sleep eludes me?  I spent the day at Claremont Secondary yesterday and today I will be at Stelly’s, my throat is still a little hoarse and scratchy from all the talking, it’s four twenty-one in the morning, and instead of sleeping snug in my/Jen’s borrowed bed, I’m blogging to you. 

Ruth Wadsworth did a magnificent job of organizing yesterday, and she did spoil me royally with a delicious lunch and fresh fruit and frequent offers of tea and water.  She had baskets of pre-written questions which was really quite forward thinking, because some of the groups were quite interested and talkative and some were VERY quiet.  It’s interesting the different personalities different groups can have.  For those of you who talked with me after, thank you, there is so much in my heart that the words escape my grasp. 

We shall see what Stelly’s brings.  Then on Saturday I have the Northern Voices Bloggers (Hmm… I not sure if the Bloggers part belongs in this title) Conference and then...I’m done! 

It’s going to be nice to have a large stretch of time before me where I don’t have any public speaking appearances.  I do love being able to meet my readers, but I have to admit, I am really looking forward to being able to tuck back into my quiet life. 

Sometimes, at times like this, when I’m really pooped, I wonder how much longer I am going to do this.  Sometimes, I can’t imagine a better life and love, love, love being a writer, sharing my stories.  And sometimes, I just want to crawl back up inside myself and disappear.  And I don’t know if it’s a desire to step away from being (semi) public permanently or if it is a momentary thing. 

I’ve been wondering if I’ve written and shared all the stories that I need to.  That maybe now I am done.  I don’t know.  It will be interesting for me to see what happens next.  Life is pretty amazing that way.
