Ever since I began blogging, in November, 2011 (I had to go back to find this!) I have been amazed by the generosity of strangers, the friendships formed by commonalities, and the understanding when certain bloggers, like myself, just can’t keep up with those amazing, yet tenuous, friendships.
The fact that WordPress has gone a bit AWOL in terms of this blog (yes, I have contacted the Happiness engineer people) has actually given me time to reflect on what I really want to do here, on this blog:
1. Reading: Keep in better touch with blog friends, but don’t feel guilty if you can’t.
2. Writing: KISS (keep-it-simple-stupid!) – also, keep it short.
3. Photography: Learn from others.
4. Personal: If you are having a difficult time with the whole life thing, and you can’t blog, that is absolutely fine.
I so appreciate all of the blog support I have received from friends, relatives, bloggers and family, but I just cannot keep up at the moment and feeling bad not to have even answered comments! So yet another blog break is in order, so I can spend more time with Anthony and write my soon-to-be famous novel ha!
Nothing dramatic – just a little blog holiday.

Enjoy your time with Anthony. I like the list of blog expectations. It makes great sense.
Holi-day away! Enjoy. 🙂
Relax, take your time and No Worries! Blogger Guilt is not something you should ever waste precious time on. All in all apologies are unnecessary but still appreciated.
Please visit my new blog, hope you like it 🙂

thank you so much dear 🙂
I hear you Jules – and am on a blog break too – good luck with your novel, and enjoy a little time ‘off the grid’. We’ll all be here when you return. xo
Take all the time you, Anthony and the novel need.
No need to feel bad Julie! HUGS

Life stressors get a bit much sometimes and we do need to re-group then….your time is now…take care Diane
Take as many breaks as you need – just make sure to pop back now and again!
Your list looks perfect to me. We’ll be here when you’re ready, sending you peace and good thoughts until you are. 🙂
We will all be here when you’re ready. Trust me, I disappeared for a year and all my wonderful, caring friends didn’t miss a beat when I returned!
Just know that I’ll be waiting for you when you get back. Hugs Jules 🙂
Enjoy.
I’m sure most people understand that you have a lot going on in your life. Plus, you get so many comments you can’t possibly keep up with them all. Enjoy your blog-free vacation and let go of any guilt!
i think keeping it simple and come and go as you need to is a good policay.
Julie, Enjoy your holiday. I will be here when you return. And you don’t ever have to feel bad about not responding, I know you have a ton on your plate. — take care, Bill
Stay strong, Julie. Enjoy the break. I think I’m also due for one. xx
I will be here waiting when you get back 🙂
Enjoy your break…..and really take it too.
Life and blogging is hard at times and most of us need a break from time to time
Just take care of you and what you need to. ❤
It’s so important to take care of ourselves. I just returned from a hiatus at hosting dVerse. So important to understand our own needs, isn’t it.
Love you Jules.
Nourish yourself before you can nourish anyone else.
Enjoy. Sometimes life just gets too busy. I’m experiencing the same thing.
