Let's just call it apologetic whining...

[shiredancer]

Just checking in for a quick "hi" and "yes, I am alive" and with sincere and sad apologies because I've promised Certain Someones that I *would*, yes truly, I *would* be a better LJ correspondent but I'm Not. Quite. There. Yet. Well, duh. Not to worry, nobody's missed a thing -- I've been depressed and sad and gloomy and generally quite Eeyore-ish lately, well for quite a while really, and have much to think about and ponder and probably deal with and fix in my life.

But when I'm a bit sprightlier, sometime soon, I'll write something of Interest and Import and possibly even with Wisdom and/or Humor.

I *DO* love you all. I'm just really lousy at communicating it.

Forget April. February is the cruelest month. At least it's always the toughest one for *me* to get through.

NO FEELING GUILTY ON OUR ACCOUNT!! Yes, we miss you. Come on more often if you can, and tell us about your troubles, luv. It's okay. No one needs to be cheerful and "up" all the time. Let us be your friends and be there for you when you're down, as well as when you're scintilating and wise!

*more hugs*

Oh, THANK YOU Lin... I so needed to hear that. Yeah, I agree about February -- even without severe winters I still find that it effects me strongly. This is my Downest time of the year.

I'll try not to feel guilty, but I *do*... I care about what everyone's up to and their problems and crises. It's just... the physical act of writing... it's so hard for me. Of all my closest group of online friends, I'm the *only* one who doesn't write fiction. Even Deb wrote a story!

And as for troubles, meh, they're mostly in my head. Heh. Guess that's the main problem right there!!! *smile*

Thanks again for the cheering words, sweetie. *Hugs back*

But February is Eeyore's month. and I'm going to echo Lin, don't feel that you have to be up and cheery and whatnot to post here; we're interested in *you*, whatever the internal weather.

All that said, of all people I understand the need to hermit a bit and nurse the Eeyore-ness. ;-) Take care of yourself.

**love** you!

And THANK YOU too, Trill! I didn't know that this was Eeyore's month... I'll take that as gospel. It's good to know that I'm in touch with my inner Eeyore, eh? Ah well, I have my Tigger days too... and Piglet, and Pooh. I rarely Rabbit. And seldom Kanga. Hee, they make really good verbs!

But for all your hermiting skills, you still manage to write and post and keep up -- how do you do that? I think it's because the act of writing is like breathing for you -- essential to your innermost soul and being. What I really need is telepathic communication. *sigh*

**LOVE** you too!!!

*HUGSES*

I'm very bad with commenting at the moment and I have a somewhat guilty conscience, too. :)

Hope you won't be depressed for much longer, dear!

Thanks, Sweet Eve! It's always such a pleasure to talk with you. Uh oh, a case of "comment guilt", huh? I would prescribe chocolate for that... and some hobbit pics. Speaking of pics, I loved the ones you posted for Karneval! I should get over my own comment guilt and run over and... comment.
