Long Time No See...or as the Japanese say "O Hisashiburi"

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a LOOOOONG time. I have been in the murky muds of depression me thinks. So many anaphylactic reactions (1 a week or so, or more...), recovering, feeling isolated, and continuing to try and figure out WHO I am now.

I've started writing a collection of poetry, tentatively called "Finding Abraham's Daughter"...as you can perhaps imagine, it is what it sounds like - an exploration of the Jewishness that perhaps has always been inherent in me? If that makes any sense...And I mean I've STARTED. I've just written a few things. But I have been able to see a vision for this as a COLLECTION, so that's why I'm holding to it as such. One must have goals.

It's time for me to return to the land of the LIVING. I haven't read much of anything; listened to much of anything; seen much of anything; made much of anything; engaged in much of anything. I've been sitting and sleeping on this same spot on this couch for months now and it's not getting me ANYWHERE, is it?

It's a sad, sad state of affairs if ALL you've done in a day is have Facebook open on your desktop.

So...I've ventured out of my shell today...here I am...

I hope you've all been as well as you can be. Please, drop me a comment, let me know how you've been. And if you blog, I'll be catching up on what you've written...

I was reading your I'm Jewish comments from March, strangely a cousin (on my mother's side of the family) was saying her DNA showed Ashkenazi ancestry, as did my niece's (I did not ask my niece if was matralineal which would HAVE to be my mother's family). this is the side of the family that has mast cell reactions too!! HA!! Hope you are feeling better soon. Finding out I had a mammalian meat allergy has assisted in reducing my anaphylactic episodes greatly!!
