So how is it done in the blogging community? Taking a vacation that is? Does one announce it right up front or does one just walk out, shut the door, and flip the "gone fishing" sign?
Life is so stressful right now that I can hardly think. I am quite sure that it shows. So I am officially "gone fishing" until things calm down. When do things ever calm down? Hope it's soon!
You can still count on seeing me here and there as I adore reading blogs. You are some of the most fascinating people I know.
Hope to be back blogging by month's end, until then, "Happy Trails!"
Yes, I put a "gone fishing" sign on my blog. Sorry that things are so hectic. Take a breather. Too bad you can't hop a plane to the Caribbean!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you! Hope you get some rest and that things settle down for you soon. This is a good chance to read some of your earlier posts, so I, for one, will put your hiatus to good use! Take care.
ReplyDeleteBummer. there you are putting on a happy face and crying inside. Sounds familiar... I did that for too many years to count. I was always the clown for the group... always the entertainer... but finally got fed up.
ReplyDeleteThen...I made some changes..
The last 25 have been the best years of my life ....and even throughout those I have had to, and still am, getting rid of more dead wood and re-organizing as I continue on. Some things stay the same...and some things should not.
Feel free to do as you please with blogging.... it shouldn't be something you feel obliged to do, nor should it be yet another thing you need to fret about. Begin with blogging dear sister, and just make some of your own "new" choices in your life.
You did it perfectly. You simply said you are taking a break.
ReplyDeleteSorry that life is so stressful now. But we know it has to be, for you. And we understand. {and you can still take a break, whether anyone understands or not...} But we do understand.
Lots of good wishes going to you, for the stressors to calm down.
And btw, no need to stay away, the whole time, just because you said you were gonna'. Maybe some day, you'll get into relieving stress by taking some grrrrrrrrrreat photos. And it would be fun to post those grrrrrrrreat photos. Don't not do so ~ just because you said you were going to be away till the end of the month. ,-)
Gee, bet you never thought of that dilemma, all by yourself, did you? And aren't you *lucky,* to have a reader like me, to point out to you, something you'd not thought of yourself? Something to be a conundrum? Oh yes!!!! I just *know* you are grateful! No need to send lots of thanks my way! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Hugs,

Vee,
ReplyDeleteI will miss your presence and I hope you enjoy your absence. I've been thinking of a break myself. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I leave you with this thought until your return"
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save,He will take great delight in you, HE WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE, He will rejoice over you with singing." (Zeph. 3:17)
Rest in His love, blessings,
Miss Sandy
Yes, you just go. No worries at all. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed my blogging break over the holidays. While I missed everyone, there was rejuvenation in taking time off.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is not and should not be an obligation. We don't forget you just because you don't post. Post when you are inspired to. Visit those who inspire you when you need it. Encourage those you want to encourage. And be still and quiet when you need rejuvenation. Reach out when you need a friend and know that any one of us will be right there when you "call".
Best to you as your renew your energy and strength! God bless you Vee, I'll pray for you to get through the stress!
Melissa
Ditto what Melissa said :)
ReplyDeleteTake a break we won't stop dropping by every now and then to see if and when your back.
We can wait...that’s what friends do
You couldn't have "announced" your break more perfectly! You will be missed my friend and your return will be much anticipated! Take care and know you're being thought of fondly!
ReplyDeleteAlways,
Jan
I always feel guilty about taking a break but it's so necessary! So don't feel anything but happy and rested. Blessings.. Polly
ReplyDeleteMy daughter told me that you were gone for a while so i had to come and see for myself. Come back soon.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a break every now and then. Hope you are back soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteVee - Everything in nature that God created needs a rest, a break, a winter, a sleep, a rejuvenation. Listen to your body and mind and soul and rest and re-group and center with the Lord. We all need that. See you soon - Vickie
ReplyDeleteDarling Vee...now I'm worried...I have an award for you and I want you to pick it up...and I want you to take a deep breath, let it out slowly and tell me what the hell is going on?????? Please don't be gone long, gonna check in everyday, anyway...just to be sure...and I'll even take the occasional fish story, or one that got away story...ok????
ReplyDeletehugs
Sandi

ReplyDeletePenny

Take it easy, kick up your feet, and dream of all the wonderfulness you can share when you return!! We will miss you, but we agree blogging is supposed to be fun, not a burden! Have a wonderful time off- can't wait to hear about you New Year's adventures!!

Vee, I hear you loud and clear. I need the world to stop, so I can get off. Have a great break!
ReplyDeleteGodd morning Vee, just in case you check in I wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten! Have a nice break.
ReplyDelete....you are funny...made me laugh....sitting under my window~I wondered who that was....
ReplyDeleteI'm just checking in to let you know...I'm checking in! : ) Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteJan
Wow Vee - I feel just like you do, apparently! I can't seem to get into blogging right now. I guess it's the aftermath of the holiday madness...it takes awhile to get back to being "normal" (whatever THAT is. lol). I've been kind of wondering if it was just me, but I've noticed alot of us aren't blogging as much as we used to. Then again, maybe we're all just crazy, depressed, menopausal wenches so who knows? lol
ReplyDeleteHope you get your mojo back soon and if you do, let me know where you found it so I can see if mine is hanging out there, too.
Kari
Have a good break and take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteManuela

ReplyDeleteLook after yourself.... breaks are good now and then. I need one too. We'll be here when you come back!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vee! You've really made my day. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that things are so hectic! I sometimes take deployment stress breaks. Let us know when you get back, and O'll stop by for a visit, maybe a cup of tea!
