I've been quiet lately

And to be blunt, that's because my family is going through a hard time right now.
A really hard time.
I've enjoyed blogging here on Dreamwidth and Livejournal, and I do appreciate the opportunity for honesty that blogging has given me. But my family has problems that aren't just my problems. I have to be mindful that I have the right to tell my own story, but they have the right to tell theirs. And my life lately has been all but consumed by difficulties that aren't mine to reveal.
It's hard, sometimes, the reticience that Elinor Dashwood must cultivate. If it were just me, I would be more open, more honest.
I miss being honest. I miss it a lot.
I will try to make more of an effort to talk about other things at least, so that I don't recede into remoteness and get lost entirely.
Prayers, lit candles, and good thoughts, if they are your sort of thing, would be very welcome.
