Yeah, that can hit you. I have been through the same. With my own family and kids it is hard to let that take you...
And wow, I just never have creating energy anymore. You know? Between work and worrying about the kids and such... I don't know, I just don't have much left. Every once in awhile I get a spurt...
But I like to check in here regularly (if not frequently) to visit with old friends/artists.
I guess it is a sort of wist that hits.
