For the first time in months my mind is clear
Without boring you with the details; on and off from sometime around the middle of December there has been a work related issue on my mind which I feel has preoccupied my mind and at times and has hurt the quality of my posts. (There would be people out there–as I have learned through some of the comments–who think there was no quality to my posts anyway, but this is a relevent term.)
This issue gave me an important decision to make and over the last six weeks to two months, as the situation came to a head and I was forced to make a final decision, there were many nights when I was distracted and didn’t feel like posting but I tried to distance myself from what I was facing and uphold what I consider to be a responsibility to all those who read my blog on a regular basis.
My head still told me that I needed to carry on at America’s Watchtower but at times my heart wasn’t in it because my mind was elsewhere, and I feel as if this led me to make several posts which if I had it to do over again I wouldn’t make, or at least would think twice about.
I have finally made my decision and earlier today I let everyone involved know what my intentions were. It still remains to be seen whether or not I made the right decision, but with the decision made my mind is clear for the first time in a long time and I feel relieved. I will be taking the rest of the evening off and look forward to jumping back into the fight tomorrow without any personal distractions.
America's Watchtower

I had to wait to post to get over the shock of your post. I would miss this more than you would know. This has become my little corner of sanity in a world that seems to be getting crazier and crazier.

GP, don’t think you are the only one that appreciates and looks forward to signing on to Steves blog to see what he and so many of the other informed posters have to say. I even look forward to the trolls posting when I am in a fiesty mood, ha! It was my lucky day when I ran across his Blog. I have told Steve before that hindsight is great, but not to worry over a couple posts he now questions, that is our freedom of speech. People have a choice to read his blog or not. You go with your gut when you post.
