Just with some different rules for myself.
I love blogging. I love my bloggy friends. I love reading blogs. BUT with all of that, came the......
Guilt.
Yes, guilt.
I felt a lot of pressure, put upon myself by me, to reply to every single comment. Sometimes at night, that was all I was doing. I also felt like I had to visit every single blog of all the people that were reading mine.
It was just to much.
So I am back but just on my own terms. I love all of you who stop by and read my little ole blog. I love all of you who comment and I love all of you who lurk. I appreciate all the comments that you leave but I will not be replying to all of them each and every time. Know that I read and appreciate all of them.
I will also blog whenever I want and about whatever I want. I don't want to set a schedule up (in my head) and stick to it because it stresses me out. I can't try to link up to all the parties each week and I can't worry about blogging just about the house each time. I know that with a new house I should have a lot to blog about (and I do) but I don't always remember to take pictures. And sometimes I just want to blog about whatever is on my mind. Blogging needs to be fun again for me and I think that doing it on my own terms will make it just that.
While I have been away, I have done absolutely NOTHING! :) I have been reading, eating, and watching TV.
I didn't do one thing that I said I was going to do while I was on my break. I mostly closed up my laptop and completely stepped away.
It has been nice. I haven't done a thing to the house either. That SAD (seasonal affective disorder) thing was in play this winter for me. That and the two moves just about did me in but I am trying to put one foot in front of the other. (literally and figuratively)
I started walking on the treadmill again yesterday and I am praying that we will see some warmer weather soon. It's been a rough winter and a rough 8 months but I am hoping that I am on the other side of it.
Thanks to all my blog friends for the support during the last year. I have missed y'all and hope to visit y'all very soon.
We just made a quick trip to Florida on Sunday and went to eat with some friends. I'll leave you with a lovely picture of the Florida palm trees and my date for the evening. And just so you know, I am a Florida girl at heart. I love the sunshine, palm trees, and flip flops;-)
