“Plateau,” over at Real­Men­tal, hope­fully self explana­tory regard­ing my neglect to write here and to visit you and your own won­der­ful writ­ing and shar­ing at your blogs.

Never fear, though.  Unlike the Monty Python Dead Par­rot, I’m not dead, merely resting.

    Here is a hug from me to you. {{HUG}}
    Be gen­tle with yourself.

    Unlike the clear sig­nals we get from a bro­ken limb, the mind is our “seat of con­scious­ness” and there­fore a plateau is really a “slip­pery sur­face” with the geog­ra­phy chang­ing as gravel in a river might. It is only when the gravel builds into a dam that we real­ize atten­tion needs to be paid to this change in geog­ra­phy. As mar­vel­lous as the mind is, it often doesn’t rec­og­nize these sub­tle changes until it becomes obvi­ous and you are unable to ignore them. There is no one to ques­tion the “Direc­tor”, our mind, so to speak.

    When my mind is on this “slip­pery sur­face”, it does not take much to slide off the slope. It just means a new attempt to reach a more sta­ble plateau. I under­stand how that may feel, and I wish you the best of luck in your strug­gle to get back up on your feet. You are cer­tainly in good com­pany and just know that you have a few good com­pan­ions with you as you strug­gle back to a new and hope­fully “less slip­pery” plateau. Many strug­gle with the same bat­tles, and even though you may feel alone, you are not alone.

    It’s good to come over here and see a new post. I was won­der­ing where you were.…

    Best wishes to you on your strug­gle back — as always even though you may feel you are strug­gling your abil­ity to express your­self so ele­gantly in writ­ing amazes me.

    Good luck and hugs to you.

    Soooo good to hear from you. You take the time you need. Google Reader makes sure I don’t for­get to check on you! Now I’m off to read your post!

    Just came by the check on you. The page is about to flip from August to Sep­tem­ber. That helps, doesn’t it? There is some­thing too intense about August.

    Rest is good.

    I am glad you’re NOT like the ex-parrot! I’m glad you’re more like the guy in the “bring out your dead” sketch in The Holy Grail. “I’m not dead yet! I feel better!”
