TTFN


I 'm sorry for the sad lack of inspiring posts lately. My heart hasn't been in the writing mode this summer and I'm sorely disappointed in myself for that. I am taking a break for this week and hopefully will return with something worthwhile to say. Enjoy these summer days and say a prayer for me if you would. So, as Tigger would say "TTFN! Ta-ta for now!" stop back and visit me in a week. Love you all.

That's okay! We ALL need to recharge our batteries periodically. ( I think about long hiatuses almost daily.)

Relax! Rejuvenate! (I can't think of another suitable "r" word).

Enjoy!

I hope you have a wonderful and rewarding break! After all, what better way is there to spend summer?

I'm glad you're in tune with yourself enough to know you need the break. I hope you do something wonderful to refill the well.

As I read your post I realized I have been taking breaks without really calling them breaks...All of that is ok! Enjoy yours!

We all need a break, Diane. And that includes giving ourselves a break from writing guilt. So enjoy yourself and recharge your batteries.

I understand needing a break from blogging, for sure! Enjoy it and I'll see you on Monday!!

Believe me, sometime a hiatus is very necessary, especially at your talent level. Much higher than mine. Take care of yourself. And a prayer will be said.

OK, it's been a week.

Where are you? What happened to you? What did you experience? What did you learn?

Blessings from the Bear to the north.
