Blogging Break at Yakkstr

23:03

Monday

Before I finally turn in, I wanted to leave a blog message here.

I'm contemplating on taking a blogging break here at yakkstr. Repeatedly, I have been assured of how it's alright that I don't get to read other posts or leave a comment, and even a great deal of understanding when I could not reply back on the comments on my own posts.

But it does shame me, that I continue to post and only have enough time and energy to share my daily blogs for my own personal blogging challenge, and not be able to interact as much as I would like to with fellow blogger and friends.

I'll see how the week goes, if I will restart again at the beginning of March with the daily blogging challenge. When I get myself sorted out.

Sending you all good thoughts, and wishes until then!

Paper, blogging is for you...You shouldn't feel shamed if you dont respond to a comment, its not the law, its not even a rule. People don't even always expect it! I know I dont expect it, I mean...the banter needs to stop at some point, otherwise every post would have an infinite number of comments right?

I like to respond to everyone too, but I also don't always find it easy or don't have the time. In my situation I no longer have a personal computer and I try to limit the blogging I do at work. So I find it easier to comment/respond on the light hearted blogs than the deeper ones because they require fewer words and thought and are faster. I often end up not commenting on my own posts and I think that sucks, cause I want to, I want to have the conversation, but I just havnt found the time to put enough thought into a comment that I just let it slip on by...I worry that if I continue to do that people wont comment on my posts at all...but ishake it off, knowing that wont ever be the case and reminding myself that even if it is, I blog for me right?

Do what makes your life fun, but just know that responding to comments is a very small part of blogging. I don't always respond and I know that comments are offered up without the expectation that they will be addressed all the time.

Goodness. Don't have to say take the time you need. This should be a place of relaxation and fun and connection when you feel like it. It ain't homework. (but I sure remember when it felt like it on the old site) Here you can pop in and say hi when you have time and feel like it. I'm not even busy like you are with family and activities, and I can't keep up! Enjoy your break and be happy.

Do what you gotta do Paper, but you know it's no big deal. I have a rather irregular method of blogging now, lol. Whereas it used to be daily commenting and blogging now it's just every few days and a marathon day of reading and sometimes commenting ... sometimes I go two or three days in between, sometimes two weeks. It's a general consensus nobody here wants anybody else to feel burdened, or pressured, so as you have time we are here, and when you don't, we'll be here when you can come back. :-)

I miss you all, lovely ladies, loyal friends!!! ((((((((((((((((HUGGIES))))))))))))))))))))

I'll start blogging daily again tomorrow. It's a ritual that balances me, and I am so grateful to all of you for the understanding and the love.

I have so much to share! Again, I thank you all for all the positive things that are developing in my life because if not for all your support and friendship, and the wonderful words, beautiful POSITIVE WORDS, I would not have the strength and courage to do all the things I do. Because I am moving, even if still rattled with fear, the moving has been rewarding in itself. :)

Sending you all my love and my warmest embrace!!!!!!!!!
