A cool window in Portland, ME, that I took with my phone.
I miss blogging.
I miss taking photos all the time.
I miss my blogging friends!
I am doing a lot of new creative things.
I am doing more with the transplant community.
I am attending auctions and having a ball.
I am staying home more.
The break has been needed.
I can feel it in my bones the relief of not making myself take a photo
a day or create a blog post each day.
I loved doing it, but I didn't realize the stress I heaped on myself
until it was gone.
I cannot deny that I miss you all.
I love writing and photographing things for you as well as for myself.
The break has been long and it will be longer still, but I find
myself wanting to come back.
Wanting to take photos.
It's a good feeling.
But I'm not there yet.
This is just a note to say that I'm doing well. I love painting furniture, am enjoying buying for my antique booths and just as happy to see stuff sell. I am no longer feeling sad and depressed. I found my happy place!
See you around!
Kristin
I know exactly what you mean about putting pressure on yourself to post something every day. I feel the same way about M-F. I feel a bit guilty if I don't put up something new each weekday. I usually use the weekend to schedule posts for the week on my eclectic blog. The book blog is easier--I just mostly post our book reviews when we finish a book. Enjoy your happy place!
ReplyDeleteHappy place is a great place to be! So glad you are enjoying your new found passion.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too, but I totally understand that REAL life is way more important.
I miss your pictures, too! You have a great eye.
Thanks for checking in with us once in awhile. We are all happy that you're happy and doing good stuff!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
As you know, I miss you too!
ReplyDeleteWhen it becomes a chore instead of something you enjoy, it's time to step back. I look forward to your return!
It's nice to know you are happy; it's also nice to know that you miss your photography. Having a balance is difficult, but you are following your heart>to good effect! No matter what, you are creating, and that adds your special vision to the Universe. And I, for one, am glad of that!
ReplyDeleteEven though I see you on FB I miss you here and I miss your fabulous photos! Hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteI have only posted everyday once and that was only for the 12 days of Christmas. Maybe I would have more followers if I post everyday but I'm not sure. I think a blogger can get by with posting once a week. Whatever your schedule you should never let blogging stress you. It should be fun. I enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteI was with YOU when you took that picture! I miss your blog and your photos, but I am so happy that YOU are so happy!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you as our two football teams met yesterday. I hope your new focus and energies are what you want. Keep checking in...and post more photos when you can.
ReplyDeleteI miss it sometimes too. And then, I get over it. I need that outlet, that way to express my teenincy bit of creativity but I can't handle any more expectations on my life. I love you like always.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Kristin!
