Whether

...or not I would return to my blog was never a question.  It was a matter of when I would return to it.  When I could return to it.  When I saw this month's NaBloPoMo prompt, I was motivated and willing to not only revisit my past words but to move in a forward direction with new ones.

PS. I was incredibly touched by those who left comments and wished me well during my absence.  Thank you.
