Cool, man, congrats. It's kinda tough at first, getting that first back-in-the-game lesson lined up and getting back in the swing of things, but within a few lessons you'll be just fine. How long did you quit for? What was your reason? I quit initially because of an issue with my medical (stupid AME screwed me over), and then financial reasons.

But after all that, coming back into it after a 2-year hiatus made me appreciate flying that much more, and I've found myself a better, more focused, and more studious pilot with a new appreciation and reborn love of flying.

The thing that was the hardest for me is, I had to quit almost immediately after I got my instrument checkride. I went from that, to 2 years of not flying at all, into training for my commercial, which is all about looking outside the airplane, so that made it a hard transition; I still have to consciously focus more on what's going outside the airplane during my commercial maneuvers.
