I've been feeling the need to simplify for a while now... It feels a little bit like my center has been slowly floating away from me, and I need to stop and gather my thoughts to see if I can find myself again.
I realize I don't post that often, but I thought I should let you know that I will be taking a little break from blogging. It may be just a few days - or perhaps a few weeks. Whatever the case, I have a suspicion that I will be back sooner than I think, because - well, you know.
I am sending my love to you all and I am hoping you will have a wonderful holiday season if I don't make it back here before the end of the year.

Love your blog, hurry back!
ReplyDeleteIf you need to slow down, you need to slow down. Take it easy and delight in the peace. We'll see you whenever you're back.
ReplyDeleteMaria, just float along until you end up where you need to be. Floating can be good. Peace and love.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off...we all need a break now and again! Of course, I would love to see your home at Christmas time, but if you don't make it back until next year, I will wish you a very Merry Christmas in advance!!!
ReplyDelete:) T

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteAll I ask is that you take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Make Maria happy.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. That's not just a "sentence", I mean it. Okay?
xx,
Denise
Oh how I wish I could invite you over for a cuppa coffee (or tea) (or a glass of wine for that matter). It would be lovely to chat instead of clicking keyboard letters back and forth. I feel much the same. Much too often. Life is too short, do whatever is necessary for you and your family. The only litmus test you should consider is the happiness of the aforementioned.
ReplyDeleteTake care dear Maria. Have a glorious, restful, but still invigorating Holiday season. I'll be happy to hear of it whenever you are ready!
Take care-xoxoxo
