Lights Out

Dearest hannihaus readers, for anyone who’s read this blog for any amount of time you know I’m 27 going on 12. I am Peter Pan—the world is my playground and I pass through it with unbridled innocence and dauntless hope …

But I’m starting to realize—this life I call mine, this place that houses my heart—it’s not Neverland. Pixie dust is in short supply. And wishing on the second star to the right mostly results in spent breath.

I hope you respect, dear hannihaus readers, the fact I’m going “lights out” at the haus. This isn’t forever. But it is for as long as it takes.

If you’ve sent e-mails or are thinking about sending one, thank you. You will never know how much I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Please know, if I don’t respond, it’s not because I don’t care. It’s because I *do* care … about myself … and right now there’s solace in silence.

Love you all and will write more when I’m better.

xoxoH

    QuietTime is nice. It reminds me of kindergarten and napping on green cots after eating nutter butters at snack-time, and, really, what’s better than that?

    I will miss you for very selfish reasons…. but you know I got your back.

    (or at least I got some half-assed attempt at some urban saying when all I mean to say is that I wish you well, Hänni-cakes.)

  16. Take as much time as you need, we will be here waiting for you.

    Wow, lights out at the haus. Well, it happens. Life gets in the way. Something bad or good can take you away from staring at a computer screen. I hope in your case it’s something very good that’s keeping you busy. xoxoxo
