Blogging IS a great way to stay in touch and I think that as you write more you will get to enjoy writing them more and more. You say you like writing. Do you write anything in particular? I write so I am always interested in hearing about others that write.
Like the others though, I too look forward to seeing you back on the ice. My husband and I cringe every time we see you block a shot and are always relieved when you get back up and start skating again (well, except for the last time that is!)! So hurry back and enjoy this new adventure in blogging!!!
