OK, I haven’t even posted here in three and a half weeks, and readership is up. There is just no understanding platform building! Thankfully my plan has been to faithfully put up the best content I can and not worry about attracting followers, because if I was trying to figure this out, I would make myself crazy!

I hope you don’t think I’ve abandoned you. In over two years at Food Shelf Friday this is the first time I’ve taken a break from blogging. It’s been one of those “when it rains, it pours” periods in my life. On the day before Thanksgiving, I fell on untended sidewalks and messed up my right knee. I had a post ready for that next Friday, but then took off Dec. 16 to attend my own college graduation (Yay! I’m done!). The week after that was Christmas, and the week after that was reconstructive surgery on my knee. It’s been a real trial; I’m off pain meds now but recovering my mobility is a slow process. Anyway, thank you for your patience with me. I’m sure with the holidays you weren’t spending a lot of time reading blogs anyway.

For now I just wanted to check in, say hi, and let you all know what’s been going on with me and why I haven’t been posting lately. I have a notebook full of post ideas, and a huge stack of books to read and review, so I’ll be back soon with lots of great content!

Thank you, and happy new year!
