Time to Take a Break

Posted on October 26, 2015 by familyrulesbyplainjane

I’ve decided to take a break from writing and from my blog. I had wanted to publish a few postscript type bits on The Story of Hanna and one last post in the Family Rules thread first, but….

I’ve posted almost everything I had written in advance of starting my blog in February. Now I am finding it very difficult to keep up with work, family, rest, my spiritual life and writing/blogging. So until my life slows down a bit and I get a feeling for what it is I have to say next, I am going to take a break and catch my breath.

Just being honest about where I am, and telling you all that I can’t keep, up is bringing a physical sensation of relief which affirms that it is time for me to take a step back.

So, I won’t be posting for now. And I won’t be reading your blogs, either. I will miss you a lot–you folks with whom I frequently interact–but less time on social media will give me the inner quiet I crave right now.

I will continue to respond to any comments and, of course, if you wish to, you can email me through the blog.

Have a wonderful Fall!!!

Jane

    How great that you’re honoring your own rhythms and needs. That’s what we, as therapists, tell others to do, right? So, awesome, Jane. The sense of relief tells you that it’s the right choice. It’s been wonderful connecting with you this year. Have a replenishing, joyous break.

    Sounds wise! That relief sensation really confirms it, right?! Recharge and make sure to come back!

      🙂 I just got so worn out from pouring myself out onto the pages and trying to keep up with other blogs and all my regular stuff. Have to wait to see if the Muse strikes again. If so, I will be back with another boost of energy. Nothing much to say at the moment…all processed out.

      I really do not know how you do it.

      I do miss reading your poetry but taking the break seriously will help me see about returning.

    So THIS is where you’ve been. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you around lately. Miss you but totally understand your need for a break. You are wise to listen to what your body and spirit require.

    I can totally relate to your post- of course you’ll be missed – Have a good rest – life is all about balance 🙂 And by the way, thanks for being the second most active commenter on my blog in 2015. 🙂
