I have written and deleted FIVE posts in the last two days that, to quote a little Fall Out Boy, basically said "Thanks for the Memories." I was ready to give this here blog up for good.
The posts were done, ready to be published. Yet, I couldn't hit that familiar orange button no matter how ready I thought I was.
And now, here we are.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because I love blogging but I hate being on the computer. The longer I'm on the computer the more rageful I get. It's really not fun.
I want more 'free' time to read books, like this one Joey just published THIS WEEK!
I want to spend my nights relaxing after work, not working for hours on my blog and then going to bed late only to wake up early to work on my blog again.
I want to live my life without being concerned about "getting a picture for the blog."
These lists and complaints are all too familiar in blogland and I won't bore you with any more reasons. Just know that even if I'm not posting I'm still reading! That's a promise.
I feel so blessed to be able to blog and to have connected, however briefly, with so many wonderful people.
So, for now it's not goodbye. It might just be, see ya less often, I really can't say for sure what might happen around here.
If you made it to the end of this post imagine I am giving you an overly excited two handed HIGH-FIVE!

Keep Smiling :)
Linking this up with Kristin for another instalment of Stuff & Things
I will not hear of this...nope...you cannot quit blogging, no matter what you think. There are lots of folks enjoying your posts who want you to keep this blog going. I know you think you want out, but we want you in, so don't talk silly. Keep blogging Kimberley.
ReplyDeleteAww Kim, I so hope you are kidding, perhaps an April Fools Joke that is a little late? You have a wonderful blog here adding to the much needed quality of the internet and blogosphere. Now is not the time to stop. You have been learning and improving your blogging efforts and abilities for a long time, don't give it up now.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean. It can become a full-time hobby that seems like a job…balance is key. I blog what I want to blog, when I want to blog it. 6 days a week? No thank you. 3-4 is my usual these days. Quality over quantity :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did come back though and didn't give it up!
I finally got a chance to catch up on some posts and just saw this!! Nooooo! Don't be gone! I understand all your reasons, though. I get it for sure. I hope you find some time here and there though to pop in! Blogland won't be the same without you! <3
