Some of you may be wondering what happened to me. I didn't fall off the face of the Earth, I didn't break my leg and end up in the hospital, and I didn't run away (in the literal sense). I did, however, run away mentally. I needed a BREAK!
I have learned over the last several months that building this blog is VERY time consuming, and it's consuming in every sense of the word. When I first started I was so excited to share my knowledge and tips with others, but it never occured to me how much time and work was involved. I found myself agonizing over late sales ads posts, later-in-the-day sample posts, and forgetting to post a giveaway for about oh....two months now!
I decided it was time to step back for a few days, catch up on some stuff at home, and reconnect with myself and my family. Now that I've had a bit of a breather, I feel refreshed and ready to go!
My husband and I did more gardening this weekend (we built more beds), started a refinishing project, went grocery shopping, perused the Sunday ads, organized my coupon book, and spent some time in the hammock. I'll tell you all about that in just a little while (think: this afternoon!).
Anyhow - I strongly encourage each and every one of you to stop for a moment, or a day or two, and just BREATHE. We tend to get wrapped up in others' expectations and think little of our own sanity sometimes. Deadlines will come and go, laundry will pile up, and the house will be less-than-organized, but I promise if you let it all go for just a little while, you'll feel MUCH better in the end!
Have fun!
