@shug Writing is definitely something worth living for. How else can you magically transport other people into any world your imagination can create? Family too can be the glue that holds things together when all else is threatening to fall apart.

@Jena Yes, so true, I don't know what I would do without them!

@Poetic Shutterbug Yes, I am so glad I took the break. Work is still a downer but I am able to breathe easy and know that the stress has lifted and I can try to take is all in stride once more. I think that shows in just how much writing I've been able to accomplish.

@Webbielady Sometimes it can be easy to loose track of ourselves with the world wizzing by. It is important to find your anchor, whether it is writing, or family, both, or something else entirely. Thanks for stopping in. :)

That's very inspirational. I learned as I read. This post is a beautiful reminder to stay focus: on what we really fought for from the very beginning and reassess how we are doing at present. As in your case, your family and your writing.

I think we've all experienced the burnout at times. The positive here is that you have risen above it all and have found the peace and serenity with your family. That's all the matters. Beautiful post.

Sounds sensible. In a way, I think, writing has saved my life (maybe that's too melodramatic- but it has been a great fulfillment and joy to me when other parts of my life have threatened to fall apart). Your family and your writing. Sounds like a good credo.
