We'll be here when you're up to it again. I'm WAY behind on blog visits with 470 unread posts in my 'reader' ... though when I started out this morning that number was almost 950. I'm always grateful to those who include the whole post in their feeds (like you do) so it's easy for me to catch up on several posts before clicking over to comment. <br />Hugs and blessings,happily retired galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925583207999165263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-87224830598874380812010-03-17T12:23:37.592-04:002010-03-17T12:23:37.592-04:00I have been watching with curiosity the change in ...I have been watching with curiosity the change in participants on some of the memes I frequent. I know I don't feel the need to participate every week in every meme as I did in the beginning but I do still enjoy keeping in touch with bloggers. <br />No guilt, no pressure, enjoy the break!<br />SmilesCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725941662453444918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-77461484344087698562010-03-17T11:22:38.589-04:002010-03-17T11:22:38.589-04:00a blog about not blogging? works for mea blog about not blogging? works for meTONY LETTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866408229170706032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-30038245499079794062010-03-16T04:03:52.803-04:002010-03-16T04:03:52.803-04:00Blog burnout?

When I get home with lots of new pictures to share, I recover from my burn-out!!!!!<br /><br />The hardest thing for me is keeping up with everyone else's posts.... I love blogging ---and feel obligated to visit others' blogs if they comment on mine. BUT--it gets hard finding time to do it all... BUT--overall, I still love blogging and have met so many wonderful people. My favorites are always people that I get to know on a personal level. <br /><br />Check back when you feel like it.

Also maybe a desire for a new direction in blogging without a clue about which way to go. I guess it's normal.Loranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888794632630265411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-70245755521684393972010-03-14T16:34:49.977-04:002010-03-14T16:34:49.977-04:00It happens to all of us from time to time...

I did notice last year that as spring/summer approached, most bloggers slacked off considerably on blogging, because everyone was enjoying the grand outdoors. It's only natural... but sometimes I honestly think I'm going to chuck the whole blog thing, FB and Twitter... and then I find renewed reasons and energy to continue on with it all.<br /><br />Sometimes, however, I do wonder: Is this a technological phase we are all going through, all these blogs out there on the 'net, and one day many will cease to be as this "fad" fades out?Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-53901837273192599582010-03-14T16:26:31.145-04:002010-03-14T16:26:31.145-04:00Don't pressure yourself, Joe.
