update


okay.

i have decided that i'm not going to quit blogging.

after being honest about it and just letting it all out and getting my emotions out of the way, i couldn't really imagine leaving.

so i'm sticking around.

but i'm not gonna lie, i'm loving this break, and i really needed it.

i have now learned that breaks can be really good and really healthy, and i am going to take them when i need them.

sometimes i'm a little dense (or maybe stubborn and proud are more appropriate words), and it takes me awhile to learn things. but better late than never!

i'm circulating some ideas through my brain right now on how to change some things around here.

i won't be back until monday or wednesday, but i will definitely be back!
thank you sooooo much for the outpouring of love, concern, and well wishes. you don't know how much it means to me, but i assure you it means a lot. i wish i could personally respond and thank each and every one of you.

thanks for sticking with me. i'll see you soon.

  4. So wise of you!

    I find, the more I take time to make sure I'm doing ok, the better I feel about myself and life in general.

    Sending special thoughts and prayers your way!

  19. I have to say I always thought your rate of bloggy output was extraordinary. Plus, you're taking all kinds of classes now. No wonder you were funked out! We all enjoy your posts but don't stress over it, just do them when you feel like it, we'll still be here.

  20. I had the same thought about a week or two ago. Things just got so overwhelming and in a moment of irrationality, I was like, "I'm done!" I took a week off, gathered my thoughts, and decided that writing was still too important to give up. I'm vowing to myself to take a step back from my blog, because it's easy to become too addicted to it. I totally understand where you're coming from, and I empathize. Keep your head up!!

  22. We've all got a little stubborn in us. Having an outlet like this is a great thing- just remember you don't owe anyone anything. Write when you feel like it!
