not myself.

If you live with me, work with me, talk to me on the phone...you already know I am not feeling right.

A couple of days ago I decided that I hated my blog, and that I just needed to walk away from it forever.  Today when I woke up, I don't feel as strongly about it...but rather I need to just take a blog break. I decided to wipe my cute background clean, and start over.  Wiping away what once was, and starting a new me...simple and plain.

I am feeling the need to sensor my words and thoughts online.  It feels weird, because I usually don't have a filter.  I am hoping after next week, I will start feeling better {I have a big appointment}.  Maybe I will be able to explain where my head has been.

Thank you to those people that have stuck around to comment, call me when they are thinking of me, plan playdates, and send me those sweet random emails. Life savers, truly.

Above all I need to thank Paul and Savannah {and Devin too}...who have cleaned the house, pulled weeds, planned movie dates, called to say I love you, showed up to eat lunch at my work, smiled when I couldn't, and loved me even though I know I have not been nice.  You are what matters in my life, and I love that you are mine.

It might take a weekend, it might take a month...but I am signing off. 

Whenever I decide to return, I hope I will have lots of good to tell you.

post edit: if we are not facebook friends, will you please look me up.  I wanna stay connected.

Sometimes stepping back is all that's needed. Love you.

My life won't be the same if you don't blog! I heart your blog and your darling family

Hey Von - I hope you start feeling back to normal ASAP and keep up the blogging. I know sometimes I feel like giving it up altogether, but then I realize I blog for me, not for anyone else. I love looking back and seeing things we've done. Anyways, thinking of you and hope you'll be back sooner rather than later!

I'm sorry you're feeling not yourself! Hopefully that big appointment will do you well. I understand what you're going through. If you need anything, let me know. Really.

Will miss you. But I get it. I hope everything gets back to where you need it to be.

You're allowed a break...and sometimes walking away is what you need. Take the time for yourself and we'll be here offline or online.

I agree with what everyone else has said so far ~ we all need to take a step back and re-discover ourselves. Do what you love and LOVE what you do!

The Stanley's said...

sorry to hear your not feeling yourself. Take care of yourself but know you will be missed!

Cranberryfries said...

Enjoy the break and dont think twice about the blog. It'll be here, and so will we when you come back. I'd love to set up a lunch date with you sometime! Lets chat on fb and make it happen.
