Many more days till returning to central points

So I'vr had a vacation from this blog due to computer and a couple of health problems.  I stopped a the point where I wanted to continue with "my" version of what is important about Transactioal analysis.  At this point there is so much else that has piled on this subject I'd like to refer the reader to the USATAA Web - under the section "Articles" you'll find the one where  (under "English")I describe how I got to TA and what I consider important about TA and eventually I will proceed on the assumption that anyone who is interested can read that

All this in regard to the fact that  unbeknownst to me my dear friend Laurie Weiss (who is computer savvy and marvelously energetic with lots of crestive ideas of her own) had enthusiastically referred some of her readers to this blog and it has obtained  many hits as a result.  So:  there goes mjy anonymity and here come imy apologies to those who then found that there wss no follow up from me and..........in advanvce may I inform you that I will be taking another "vacation"  from blogging while I try to catch up with  a lot of  other issues that have come up meanwhile.

Currently I am excited about forthcoming USATAA Council meetings coming up here - planning for a large USATAA conference to be held in Texas in October.  I will be doing a l-day Institute there about my concept of three unconscious Drives (or "Motivators" as I prefer to call them since they draw on Freud's concepts but are actually very different) .So eventually  (in the far future)I'll tell you more about that

For now - it's a temporary "asta la vista" until I manage to get back to this blog........... -

Inserts

Many days have elapsed - trouble with computer - not sure how well I'll manage this entry either - there will be spelling errors - "delete" doesnt function well and also can't get back to what I was writing before - left off, I remember with some TA material and my emphasis on importance of familiarity - expertise, I would say! with ego states for all forms of communication.  Because of the headinhg "TA" got reactions from my friend Jonathan Wagner who corrects my definitions in accordance with Berne - however i give myself the freedom, in this blog, to define 
 my way - precisely because ultimately the purpose of this blog is to clarify - - for me the views of human nature, - mine and those I transact with - as I experience them.
  Meanwhile am grappling with problems about my own energy -  am taking medication to manage my arthritis, other health issues, they make me sleepy and then often problems at night - constant choices during the day about compensating and sleeping versus all I want to do - and  trouble dealing with frustrations of computer sticking so much.
Yet too much I want to write about -
paradoxically right now I decide to stop - this blog is supposed to help me escape from daily preoccupations and all the upsetting news that comes at all of  us - I won't let it be one more "obligation" to clear - I might let it go for a couple of weeks and return much later . I've been reading about Montaigne (Wayne's suggestion) and his attitude will help me - right now I'll go to the terrace, enjoy the sunshine and then  go to sleep ........
