Once in a while bloggers feel they need a break. This can happen anytime during the year. The feeling can be brought on after a period of intensive regular posting, or by an issue of time scarcity in our personal lives. Sometimes, there is no reason. That is the case with me, today.
I woke up this morning with the intention of starting a blog. Then, I paused and the thought occurred to me—why don’t I take a break? I’m not planning to go away for a vacation to a far-off destination, or even a place close by. It will be more like a staycation, right in my own home.
So, with that thought in mind, today I plan to read a book, visit a neighbor, or spend some time with my family. All very pleasurable pursuits.
When I return to post another blog, I will be refreshed from my rest and ready to go! I’m looking forward to writing from a different perspective, researching new ideas and hopefully some new strategies I’ve discovered along the way.
So, I’ll say ciao, hasta la vista, cheerio or adieu for now, whatever sentiments apply. Wish me luck and bon voyage! I’ll see you in a couple of weeks!
Absolutely take a break. We all need one from time to time. ENJOY!! With gratitude to you.
Thanks, Linda! I was pleased with myself for blogging steadily (almost every week) since Christmas, but I feel I really need to take a breather. It will give me some perspective and a surge in energy, I hope!
Enjoy your time as you wish. It’s a good life when we are able to do what just feels right.
Having choice is certainly an indication of a good life, Alexandra! If blogging was a job I was forced to do, I’d be feeling quite differently about it. This way, I love it!
Wonderful idea. Enjoy your break!
Thankyou, Anonymous, I will!
Enjoy❣️
Oh, I hope to do that! But I know I’ll miss checking in with my followers. I plan to fill my time working on a book I’ve started, but can’t seem to finish! Wish me luck.
Good for you and Good luck!!!💕💕
Love the hearts, Cindy. Thanks!
Hasta luego! Que te diviertas! Until later! Have fun!
I’ll see you later, as well. And I promise to have fun…Thank you for your interesting greeting!
For months now, I have the opposite. The drive to write, the desire to share with my readers places I have been, such as Norfolk Island, and the Air Museum at Temora – but no time! I have not even responded to your wonderful comment on my About Me page (thank you).
Originally I was immersed in an “introvert’s” project, trying to edit down a manuscript to make it a word count appealing to publishers, but now that has been overtaken by an “extrovert’s” project, rounding up and organising people for a group action – so lots of phone calls and personal visits.
I’ve always dreamed a lot, but now my sleep is taken over by them as I discharge the surplus information swirling in my brain 🙂
Now, you’ll really need a break after absorbing all that!
Enjoy the down time.
Hmmm, an “extrovert’s project” …sounds like something interesting and intriguing! Yep, Gwendoline, I need a rest now (brain overload)! Thanks for your input!.
It’s takes a lot of talking, explaining, persuading, explaining again because they weren’t listening the first time … and so it goes on…
Enjoy your break and come back when you feel suitably refreshed.
I hope to do that, Clive. I don’t do that very well, though—habitually a workaholic! Turning over a new leaf now…
I know the feeling. It’s hard work to keep a blog going. See you when you get back to it. Rest up.
I’m happy about this break and I’ll try not to think about what I’ll blog about next. It will all come together when I get back, I’m sure. Meanwhile, I’ll turn my attention to my second book, something I’ve put on the back burner for far too long. Thank you for your thoughts, Anneli.
