Is This Really My Return to Blogging?

It has been such a long time since I posted that I feel at a loss for words.  So why was I absent for so long and am I really going to return to at least occasional postings as my description states or am I just kidding myself?  I have been very busy in the intervening non-blogging days, but that is not why I stopped.  I have had to do some real soul-searching about putting myself and my musings out there in cyberspace.  Is a blog the platform I want to explore my feelings, thoughts, and ideas?  Or do I just want a place to record my needlework projects and my travels?  Or is a blog not the right thing for me at all?  I've decided to put my reflections on these topics into written form here and see if I can come to any conclusions.
