I have fallen off the blogging wagon, and it has not been easy to get my ducks in a row and get with it again! I have folders of pictures just waiting to be uploaded and their stories told. I have taken tons of photos for recipes I want to share....but there they all sit in folders safely tucked away...just waiting.
The truth is...I don't know why I am in this slump. I have been busy, but that is a sorry excuse....even to me!
I'd like to say, that I am most thankful for the ones who visit anyway, some leave comments, some don't....but I know you show up. Thanks for the emails.....I hope to shake this funk I have been in and get back to myself. Thank you all for your concern and kind words.....I love you guys more than my vintage dishes....and well you know me, that means I love ya a lot!
Thanks for staying with me......
It's okay to take a rest now and then. Think of a piece of music - if there were no rests, no silences, the music wouldn't be as effective. There's day and night, seasons of growth, and seasons of dormancy. It's just natural. Rest well.
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne, I think SUMMER does something to us as well. Hang in there and post what you want, WHEN you want. You'll still show up on the reading list!:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I for one ALWAYS like to see what you've put together!
(Oh, and I love the weather gadgets on your sidebar. I agree 100%!)
I think a little lack of satisfaction with our blogs is a good thing...change is good. I know for one that I need to think outside of the box with my posts...especially in the summer when the days seem to run into one another and they all seem the same. I wish you the best of luck, I know you will find your voice!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Suzanne, I get inspiration and entertainment from your blog. That doesn't mean you are responsible for keeping me happy every day or even every week. You are worth the wait. Enjoy your vacation. CJoy
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, I think every blogger goes through a slump from time to time. Hang in there. Inspiration will come.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Sweetie, none of us will forget about you. I think it is the change in the weather. Really zaps us, huh? Take time and get some rest...then you will be rejuv! Waiting patiently! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne I agree we all go through slumps. Different reasons or no reason we can figure out, just life! I am finally coming out of mine and feel more energized about my blog then I have in several months. Just take care of yourself! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be through it and back again. I have at least once! You have so many friends who enjoy you.

Suzanne, don't be too hard on yourself. Take a break if you need to. I took two months off blogging at the beginning of the year to take care of my family. I came back when I was ready. You should do what YOU want/need to do.
ReplyDeleteIt's summer, things have slowed down in one area and picked up in others. Your readers will be here when you have something you really feel passionate about blogging about!
ReplyDeleteslumpin' right along side of you...I don't know what it is but I'm getting tired of myself..gah!
ReplyDeletethere seems to be alot of this goig around right now on blogland ... i'm just coming back from a 5 month absence ... feeling like nobody cares what i have to say anyway because i don't have much to say in the first place ... but i'm going to try to blog for ME this time, post things that I like, a record of my likes, desires, and life in general ...
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the lurkers who doesnt comment very often - but Im always here .
ReplyDeleteI think we all need a break from the crazy world of blogging occasionally - even if it is only to spend time making sure our ducks ARE nicely ordered, to collect new ideas and to re-energise.
Take your time , be kind to yourself and pop back in when you're good and ready!
slumping and just tired- too hot to do much of anything but what needs to be done! I loved Laura Lowes analogy of music and rest needed-
ReplyDeletebee blessed

Hi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. I've been on a slump too-some weeks my only post has been the weekly book review. I'm hoping to do better and I'm sure you'll get back into it too.
Suzanne, I totally understand. I've been having a bit of a slump too. Don't know what brings it on, but hopefully you will be up to blogging again soon.

Everyone gets in a slump sometimes, and it's o.k. to take a break-blogging is not heart surgery!I enjoy your blog and am sure many others do too!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a loooooooong slump. I think we all need a break just to think about why we're blogging in the first place. There are a lot of great reasons - maybe you need to focus on a different one.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you are doing it SHOULD make you smile. If you are away, TAKE your time and there is no hurry... Be sure to smell the flowers and know there are LOTS of hugs for you back here!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
BIG HUGS,
Donna
Aw, more than those precious dishes?!? I am ReAlLy loved, then! lol
ReplyDelete:-}pokey
Awww, I think we all get in a slump this time of year...you'll get your mojo back soon.
ReplyDeleteSee ya later for VTT
Suzanne, It's just the weather. It's getting me down too, but I just love serfing all the blogs and yours is one I follow. Go shopping!! That might help...and of course grab a dog and get some love...that helps too. Have a good rest and we'll see ya when you're back to it!! Love ya!

Hey, sometimes life gets in the way. I'm only just now getting back into blog reading and writing after a long absence. You'll get your mojo back.
ReplyDeleteSpring and Summer and pre-holiday times are terribly difficult, time wise. It's hard to catch up much less stay caught up; I don't even try anymore. Be gentle with yourself!
