I have a lot on my plate
right now so I am
taking a blogging break.
I am going to curtail my visits on
Instagram, Facebook & Blogger
for a while.
I will pop in once in a while on
IG & FB but will not be blogging.
I feel guilty getting comments and not
being able to reply or to visit your blogs,
so---off I go for a while.
As some of you know,
John has some more surgery coming up,
I am still dealing with inflammatory issues,
and I need time to handle things here.
What's on my agenda?
I have a trip planned with my daughter
and three grand girls.
I have new books to read,
an upstairs full of 'stuff' to purge,
things to finish up in the condo,
and I need to get the camper
ready for the season.
We have NO internet and
sketchy phone service at the RV park.
HOWEVER-
I WILL RETURN!
Look for me this fall
but for right now----
I just need a break.
I hate it when people just disappear
and you never know what happened to them....
so I did not want to be "that person".
Thank you all for always being
so faithful and following along
with all my nonsense.
You are
THE BEST!
Thoughts love and prayers going up for you and the family. I sure understand why you're taking a break from blogging. There will be little time left with all you have on your plate. I too feel the same as you know we have lots of things to take care of for now.
ReplyDeleteKnow we love you always will. Keep in touch if when you can.

Good luck to John with his surgery, and to you, as well. I'm glad that you have some nice things on your plate to look forward to, and balance things out. Have a great summer, Diana!
ReplyDeleteTake care of John and yourself, Diana. No need to reply, that's just another stressor. I hope you have a good summer.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed and restorative time away, Diana. My goodness! You do have lots on your plate. I am glad that you are getting away with your daughter and the granddaughters. Take good care of you. You'll be missed, but priorities are priorities and all bloggers understand that.
ReplyDeleteI sure understand taking a break and have been at that point myself. Have a safe and restorative period away and I will look for you when you come back. Praying for you and John.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. Take care and know I'm praying for you and John.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Nancy
I hope you get the rest you need and the things done that need your attention. Enjoy your time, know that while you’ll be missed, we understand and I am praying for you all. Love ya!

Enjoy your time 'away' and taking care of the things you need to. I hope it's a restful, enjoyable summer for you all!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and may only good come out of it. You'll be missed but just know you are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSending you & your family prayers to help navigate some of the paths you are on right now. I hope your time away will refresh you and bless you as well. Jane
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy a well earned rest. Look forwards to your return in the fall. Be safe, and relax. '
ReplyDeleteJanice
Enjoy the summer and the trip with the girls. I hope the surgery goes well, too. Always thinking about you...xo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your summer. Just think, when you come back Starbucks' pumpkin spice season will be in full swing!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lot on your plate Diana, and I notice during the summer it is much harder for me to keep up with blogging too. Have a blessed time as you get away with your granddaughters and do some camping! And good luck with the the "stuff", that is not a fun chore at all! Blessings :)
ReplyDeleteHugs ~
ReplyDeleteGosh I know what you mean. I love blogging and have thought about coming back - but it takes so much time to do it right - and I have so m any things/issues going on.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well - take a break - come back. Hope John is okay.

Diana, wishing you and your husband luck with your health issues. I hope you have a great summer and that you can take care everything you want to accomplish. All the best!
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest. Hope Hubby does great and when you get there, ENJOY the time away. Sending love and the best to you and yours (enjoy the trip!!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteHang in there, my friend. So much on your plate -- go at it one bite at a time if you can (and I know that isn't always easy). Sending all good wishes to you and your family with the upcoming medical issues, especially.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Diana! I hope everything goes well this summer. See you when you have time to come back to the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteHello Sweet Friend. I think life sometimes takes up more time than expected and we need a little break. I think you are doing a good thing with all you have going on. Enjoy the summer. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family, that is what it is all about.. enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers and love!
Carla
I pray all goes smoothly medicalwise and you have a lovely and peaceful summer.
ReplyDeleteOh Diana, I totally understand. I think I’m one of those people….as I always think I I’ll do a post and never seem to get one done! Bless your heart…I will pray for you and John.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Good for you for taking care of yourself! You and John remain in my prayers always. Don’t even think about replying…everyone understands! Sending you strength, joy and love! ❤️

We totally understand. Praying all will go well for your husband's surgery, and that your inflammatory issues will clear up when you can rest and relax and unload some stress. We will be right here when you get back, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise...So just don't worry about us...relax and try to have some fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely summer!!! I rest laying down and read every afternoon after the "shoulds" are done. It's not selfishness to take care of yourself, it's self-caring. Like the stewardess says, Put YOUR oxygen mask on first!! Kathy A
ReplyDeleteTake care of you and your husband. We will be praying and here when you return. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI understand, Diana, but I do hope you return to blogging this Fall. Will miss you. Have a fun trip with your daughter. It really is nice to get away from everything for awhile. I have another trip coming up as well. I hope John's surgeries go well, and that you feel better soon. I know lots of people who are going through the "getting rid of things" right now. It's a long and hard process, so hang in there. Love you, dear friend, and think of me along the way. : )

Thank you for letting us know that you're taking a break. Like you said, there's so many bloggers that just disappear into thin air and it makes us wonder what happened to them and if they're OK. You certainly do have a lot on your plate...I will be thinking about you and keeping both you and John in my prayers as he goes through his surgery.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
Melanie
Thanks for letting us know. I too hate it when a blogger just up and disappears. So thanks.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I'll miss your posts but it's totally understandable. You're in my feedly feed so I'll know when you return.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thank you for the update. Enjoy your time off and have a good Summer. Will pray for you and John for healing and better health.
ReplyDeleteJoan,Marion and Marilyn

ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well. Enjoy your blogging break. Cheers
ReplyDeleteYou DO have a lot on your plate, but if anyone can handle it, you can! Hope you get in some fun, rest and relaxation too. And BTW, I also don't do well when Bloggers just disappear, so thanks for the alert. See you when we see you.
ReplyDeleteI hope your time away will be restful and energizing. There is a lot happening in your life just now. Take good care, hugs, Lorrie

ReplyDeleteI understand! We all need a break from time to time. Hope you get to do some fun stuff this summer! Sweet hugs to you and John both!
ReplyDeleteRest, fun, sweet sleep and make glorious memories. A tiny snip from my Memphis feed this a.m. said 1:15 to 7:00 a.m. on August 8 of 77 Elvis rented out the park and rode the Zippin Pippin countless times---is last public appearance.
ReplyDeleteWill miss your nonsense 😄
ReplyDeletePlease take care of you and your hubby. Getting older is sooo fun. (read that with some sarcasm, please) I no long go for a regular check up and walk out with nothing going on...had an xray this week, Arthur is showing up all of a sudden.
Enjoy your time away. Will look for you this fall!
I will miss you but will be here waiting for your return! Have a blessed day and Summer ahead. HUGS and PRAYERS coming your way!
