If you look at my browser right now, you'll see around 39 tabs. This is mostly your fault. You who post about interesting links that I just have to check out, you who write a brilliant post that I read in Google Reader but that I then have to open in another tab to comment on, you who suggest that book or that movie that I need to go and read about. I also have interesting articles or ideas that I think may the basis for a good post here, my Flickr page, where I've been planning to add some photos for weeks... I think you get the idea.
For the most part, I love it, all these interesting ideas, things to read, things to watch, things to think about. I love the stimulation and the creativity. But at the moment, it's all becoming too much, there is too much going on, I can't focus and it's distracting me from other important things in my life.
So I've decided to take a break from it all. Blogging, Flickr, Google Reader... For the most part of April, I'll be on an Internet holiday. I wasn't going to have much time for it, anyway, as I have a busy week of work ahead of me, 10 days of holiday back in Spain (aka wedding planning madness!), and a lot to catch up on afterwards. I'm not making any rules, I may pop up from time to time, but I'm giving myself permission not to.
I'm not leaving by any means, I'll definitely be back in May. If everything else fails, I'm planning a nice day with a friend at the beginning of May full of writing and photography that will surely get my blogging juices going. So I'll see you back here in May! Enjoy the beginning of Spring!
Hey B!! I am just back from my blogging sabbatical and let me tell you, you surely need that once in a while. So I hope you enjoy your internet holiday.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I wish you pure marital bliss..and may all your dreams come true.
Will catch up on your blog while you are gone :) Enjoy your break
I had to do this same thing over winter. Like you said, it becomes to much sometimes, and if it feels like a chore, a break is just what you need. Enjoy and come back soon!
ReplyDeleteB, the blogosphere won't be the same without you, get refreshed and hurry back! R XX
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your internet holiday and your real holiday over easter!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break!
ReplyDeleteOh good for you...I think it's needed every once in a while. And, like I said before, if you don't enjoy it...don't do it! You'll come back to it when you have the time and will enjoy it all the more for being 'fresh'.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays lovely Blanca xx
Oh noooooooo me estás poniendo muy triste. Justo ahora que me he enamorado de tu regalo, que te medio-dedico una actualización...me abandonas jajajaja
ReplyDeleteBueno supongo que agobiar por mail sigue siendo una de mis opciones para ser tu admiradora número 1, pero te dejaré que disfrutes de tus vacaciones en casa calentita debajo del sol pensando en tantas cosas interesantes que tienes que hacer, porque aunque pase el tiempo tu vida me sigue enganchando igual que el primer día :)
Muchos besos y muchas gracias por tantas cosas
Don't you worry carissima. We'll all be here waiting when you return! A break is good now and then.
