Sundays are usually quiet
around here.
MyHero is on call a couple
of weekends a month so
we lay low on these weekends.
Last night's sunset looked
like this.
Quiet and serene.
I need a little serenity.
I started this blog as a way to
TAKE A BREAK.
Pretty obvious from my blog name, huh?
Anyway,
Right now
I need to take a break
from blogging for a while.

If you think on me at all
think of me somewhere
laughing my fool head off
at something said by
SweetCheeks.
crazy people I call family.
I hope I have left you smiling.
So why do I have a lump in my throat reading this?

Enjoy your time to gather sweet nothings in your soul. Do what needs to be done and refresh the heart.
ReplyDeleteWe're not going anywhere, just as I was busier than a bee getting ready for winter, you too need to do what needs to be done.
warm hugs and kisses

Dear Diana... I have been seeking that serenity too... let me know if you find it... lately sometimes I think blogging is a bit stressful and time consuming... a break helps often... enjoy your time with your dear family and I will see you soon!... xoxo Julie Marie

ReplyDeleteI don't ever remember you taking a break before, so ENJOY yourself and try not to laugh too hard with the grandkids (laughing causes wrinkles).
ReplyDeleteDon't leave us here in blogland for too long. Have a nice break. xoxo

You are such a sweetie! Enjoy your break, but please don't forget to come back! We will miss you!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, it's hard to keep up sometimes! For me, working full time and being a mom and being on church committees and now looking for anew home on top of all that... I'm exhausted. I'm so behind on emailing people back.
ReplyDeleteYou are so loved, Diana! It is no doubt that kindness is your gift and it is showered right back on you. We will be here waiting when you are rested up.
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing to your family and to us all, my friend. Enjoy some time to enjoy your life! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a little teary. I will miss you. I have never once opened your blog and not chuckled or smiled. Bless you and your family. I hope you come back...
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Diana, I know we all need a break now and again. I am taking a break from blogging myself and just posted about it.
ReplyDeleteBob and I are having some health problems. I hope your break is for relaxation only. Enjoy and kiss the girls often.
Love to you, Ginger
NOOOO. Now I have tears in my eyes. Come back. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteBoy do I understand.
ReplyDeleteWriting you an email right now.
Laura
Enjoy your break and laugh as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI had the kids last week and didn't check e-mail or blogs much and then this week, I missed you. So - I went to your last blog post to see what was up and now I know. So, enjoy your little break. Go by Starbucks a time or two and think about all of your blogger friends. You know we love you and miss you - but, we also care about you and wouldn't want you to stress over blogging. So, by all means take a well deserved break. We'll catch up when you get back.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Patty
Enjoy your break, hope you will come back soon. Your posts are always fun and your comments funny. Laura
ReplyDeleteMiss you...:(
ReplyDeleteI will miss you so much, but I hope you enjoy your time with your family. We all need a break sometimes, but remember that we love you.

Oh Diana,
ReplyDeleteI could use a break right about now. Nel's wedding was beautiful, and it was such a nice day for us all. With all the festivities, I need rest now. We all need a break every now and then, but just know that you will be missed, and be sure to tell SweetCheeks hello from Sheri during this time away. I will miss your sweet face on my blog. Your friendship is dear to me.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley

Enjoy your blogging break and the time with your beautiful family! We'll miss you! I am just reading your post as I haven't blogged much since we had to put our furry princess to rest last week. We miss her sweet companionship, but are getting better.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you are enjoying your break. I miss you!!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, It has been almost a month now and I've got to say I'm pretty worried about you-so what is happening with you girl? Life does take us in different directions quite often and that is fine as long as you are alright. Please feel free to email with any prayer needs you might have-I have missed your crazy sense of humor. Sending love your way today.
ReplyDeleteNoreen
Hi, Diana. Just wanted to say hello and let you know you've been missed. I definitely understand and applaud you taking a break. Love on those grandbabies and your sweet family. Hope you're having a wonderful Fall.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you, and your family. I hope you're somewhere relaxing like in the south of France,(or somewhere equally romantic) with that man of yours! Reflecting on the fabulous life you've made together! Where ever you are Diana, enjoy and know how much enjoyment you've given all of us out here in blogger land. We love your stories, and the sweet antics of your Grandbabies!!! Big Hugs, Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs

ReplyDeleteDiana
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of you today and wanted to let you know you are missed! You always brought sunshine with your post.
I understand the whole break thing-I have seriously been thinking of taking one myself. When you begin to feel posting is an obligation and not fun maybe it time to set it aside for a while.
I hope this finds you and your family all well!
Take care my friend-Kimberly
