leaping again

I have post-its slapped on the walls around my house because.. I. Have. My. Blog. Back. The post-its are reminders that a nagging, sometimes heavy weight has been lifted. Reminders that I can relax a bit. Reminders that some of that niggling underlying tension in my shoulders, in that wince on my face, in that catch in my breath have been relieved. My blog has been found, revived and made whole.

It reappeared—suddenly, quietly, gloriously—from the great blog beyond only days ago after its mysterious disappearance four years ago today. I know, right?

I had logged in again 1 March 2016 to make some tweaks to the site and important updates to the blog in general and it had vanished. *poof* No note. No by-your-leave. Nothing.

Missing it and wondering what had happened, I researched, asked CS, and implored (read: begged) techfriends for advice. No one could figure it out; everyone tried but was left scratching their heads. Researching, asking, imploring and scratching for four years.

I don’t know what made me attempt again just 16 days ago—probably all of the scratching and some of the wincing—but I did. And it was there. Alive and beckoning.

I’ve spent time making those updates and tweaks, verifying content and editing images that went wonky since. I’m not quite finished but it’s getting there.

So I am leaping again. And wondering if this is something akin to Brigadoon, or a Leap Day anomaly/miracle.

Melinda isn’t gone.

Until next time, LeapBabies.

Onward.
