I was looking for one of my posts and ended up scrolling through my blog history. I truly loved blogging. Really I should say I loved writing, whether about me or politics or stuff, it was a great method for getting my thoughts out in a structured way (a miracle for an ENFP personality). I'm trying to analyze the patterns related to the blogging roller coaster, but it's making me sad. It seems to be stress related and even when I make major life decisions to avoid stress, I sometimes end up with more.

Anyway, one of the benefits of returning to blogging would be using this as my platform for political ranting rather than Facebook. Here I'm on my turf and readers come voluntarily. Facebook feeds tend to stick peoples' opinions into readers' faces. Sure you can unfriend, but that comes with all the attendant "inner turmoil." This all relates especially to pro-life ranting because I'm fully aware that more than 25% of the female population have had an abortion, so thrusting my opinions in those women's faces is just cruel.

Abortion has been on my mind a lot lately because of the Planned Parenthood undercover videos that have been coming out. Talking about turmoil! It's been turmoil in my mind, wondering how we have allowed ourselves as a country to get to the point where something so egregious can be basically ignored. More on that later. Maybe.

One more thing. My Blog Title has been hijacked by an HBO series about a transgender dad. If you landed on my blog while looking for the TV show, please... well, come on in and kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I'll put on some coffee and we can talk.
