I Think I Need a Little Break

Tea and a good book under a shady tree?

I hope your time away is restful and rejuvenating.

I understand Marcy, sometimes you just need a rest and that's all there is to it. Take care - I'll still be checking back with you!

I know how you feel, sometimes you have to just step back. For purely selfish reasons, I hope it's not too long!

I totally understand. I've had my own sporadic postings this year, and I know just thinking about "the blog" was getting in the way of progress. Besides, it's SUMMER and it's time to feel the warm sun on the skin.

I have google reader, so whenever you do post, I'll know and be here!

I'm with Nat; I'll be waiting when you return. =)

I've not yet listened to the track, but it's title, "Defrag My Heart," sounds to be EXACTLY appropriate for the moment.

Have a good chill, and stay compassionate towards yourself, Dearest Marcy. We'll all be around whenever/however you decide to check back in. :)

aw, thank you all so much for being so supportive. i really appreciate that. i promise to use my time away from the blog wisely. :) p.s. fil--it really is a perfect song for this occasion. and it's quite lovely, to boot.

hav really enjoyed yur posts and sad t ohear you wil b stoppin 4 a while. look fwd 3 havin u bac

thank you, nick. and may i say that you write really cool!

OMG!! I totally understand where you are coming from. It is so fucking draining sometimes and keep it up like you have is difficult. We all need to sit back and relax now and then not be on such a post everyday mentality.

I stopped posting everyday awhile ago when I actually started sleeping at nights, I just don't have the time or the will to post everyday. Hang in there my dear. We all love you!

This blogging lark is hard going sometimes, life whether that be sadness, joy or boredom can take over. I've been a bit half hearted over the last year (which makes me want to delete everything) and my bro has stopped entirely despite my pleadings to join me and at least make two half hearted into maybe one whole haha :-s

Im sure you'll be back soon, and you have a load of people who will be chuffed to have you back!

rachel--i think you're absolutely right about the posting-every-day mentality. it is difficult to maintain and feel like you're saying something worth reading. i think the key will be balance.

neil--i didn't realize your brother had stopped completely. hopefully for good life reasons, not bad ones . . . thank you for your kind thoughts. i'm sure i'll be back. the blog is, if nothing else, a really good creative outlet, so i don't think i could ever give it up completely. :)

I hope you have a nice break. I enjoy reading your posts and listening to the tracks you put up but understand it may feel like a bit of a chore sometimes.

Like everyone else has said, I'll miss you but I totally get it. Kick back and relax and I hope you'll be in better spirits soon. I've got you on Reader too, so I'll know when you're back.

Is it my imagination or is the math question at the bottom of this form getting harder...? :)

ray--thank you for your understanding. it's not so much a chore, exactly, but that i'm feeling a sort of pressure. it's hard to explain. i'm not sure what the difference is. :)

greer--thank you, too. as far as the sums go, i think they can never go over 18 (9+9) but i could be mistaken! i'd say as long as you know your addition facts up to, say, 20, you should be ok! ;-)

Well, you just gotta take a look at my blog, to see what stepping backs all about, hee hee ! I hate hearing that people are sad, that's no good...take a chilll and you'll come back with a million bands to write about....keep up the contrast like me tho marcy !!!

Take care dude R

hey ross--thank you for the kindness. i hope not to step back from the blog quite as much as you have, no offense! don't worry about the contrast podcast, though, i'm definitely still going to keep up with that. :)

I'll be thinking of you, Marcy, especially when I hear a great song that I got hooked on from your fabulous blog. Take good care of yourself. Sadness is so draining. Keep close to your friends and try and get through it. Music will help.

aw, thank you tricia. i really appreciate that and any good energy/thoughts you send my way are most welcome. :)
