Seeking Serenity

Well, my week's absence from blogging has ended up being a bit longer than

expected. I mentioned in my last entry that work has been overwhelming.

There have been a lot of changes that have been exhausting and have not

left me with a lot of desire to sit down and compose when I get home.

I have always wanted this blog to be interesting and creative and I have not felt

that I could offer that in recent weeks. I do plan to continue blogging - but I

need to rethink my contribution to the blogging community.

I haven't done much in the creative department. Somehow, summer causes me

to switch gears and go outside in the garden rather than sit at my work table

making something. I have noticed a number of blogs that I read on a continuous

basis have taken the summer off. I don't intend to take off the whole summer,

but I do want to give myself a "refresher course", if you will.  I am also trying

to dredge through the changes in Typepad, which I have been very lax in tackling.

Bear with me, I'm still out there.

Yours in Bloglandia,

Dorian

I saw your previous post about blogging ennui and I totally relate. It must be something in the air but I just want to take a break from it sometimes but feel like I'd be leaving guests in the living room while I take a nap. And even though I "work" at home I feel that I'm producing less and that sometimes the process drags on.

I may take a week break next week so that I can actually do something like read a book or take in a movie which I haven't done in ages. I need to seek some serenity too or I'm going to make myself ill. I hope work eases up for you or that you have time to enjoy your garden:)

Greetings Dorian, I took off for a while too, work has also been overwhelming for me so I understand. I'm going to try to at least post a pic once a week and type up a little bit, it is a good discipline and I hate to lose it. Hope you are doing well.

Just checking in to say hello:)I have taken a few breaks this summer and I may take a good month off (maybe more) next summer. Last Summer I was just discovering blogs and this year I've been so busy it's hard to keep up with the posts and getting work done. I look forward to September and getting back in the swing of things:) Hope you are enjoying your garden!

[Miss Maddie's]

Still thinking of you across the miles!
