Nothing to See Here…

If you’ve clicked here over the past day or so, you’ve probably noticed that the blog is requesting a password.  I’m not trying to go elite or anything.  I was trying to take it down altogether without losing anything, but I’m too dumb to figure out how to do that.  So I did what I could - I made it password-required.  Until I can figure out how to do this properly.

I have gotten several emails, though, and I don’t have the energy to reply to them so let me do this - let me put it back up for a few days with this message and then it’s going to come to an end.

I’ve been accused of being naive.  I guess I am in many ways.  I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, been a my life is an open book kind of person.  I just couldn’t imagine anyone who might have less than sincere motives with regard to reading what I post on my blog, with regard to knowing what there is to know about me.  But that has changed and I now feel that, yes, there are people who don’t deserve to know me, with whom I will not share myself. 

It’s been a bit of a paradigm shift for me - my thinking radically changed in a matter of minutes.  My trusting nature knocked for a loop (again) and perhaps unrecoverable this time.

The truth is I haven’t been a very good blogger lately anyway.  My life is a bit of a mess and I haven’t been able to work it all out. 

So that’s where I’ll be… working it all out, as best I can. 

I’ve wondered if I might ever be able to come back to blogging and I am not sure it’s possible.  I don’t think I could blog without being me, completely me, and I don’t think I can be completely me in such a public way anymore, sharing myself with people I don’t want to give that access to.  I wish my full name was never associated with this blog. 

As always, I’m available at linda at justlinda dot net.

Thanks to those of you who made me feel good about this blogging thing.  I have really appreciated your support over the past couple years.  Take care.
