You people

I was going to post today about a hiatus from LJ that I am thinking of taking. I was going to call it a hiatus, but in reality, I was thinking of...you know...just not coming back

Um, wow. This is not the first time you've posted something so synchronous it gave me goosebumps.

I've been so busy, and so stressed, and juggling so many balls that I stepped away from LJ and most internet connections for several weeks. I only came back at the prodding of a couple of friends, and then I realized how much I miss the... support and general camaraderie.

But yeah - I've often felt that exact way. Everyone on my f-list is accomplishing so much more than I am. I feel... boring and pedestrian by comparison. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels while everyone else zooms by.

Maybe we can sit and spin our wheels together, hey? :}

Good luck with everything, though! May things cool off, calm down and smooth out soon.

Thanks for that second line...it's good to know I'm not alone! : )

I keep thinking that things will "cool off, calm down and smooth out" and they just keep getting wilder and bumpier! But yes, I say it like a mantra: "some day things will be better."

You are totally neither boring nor pedestrian! I mean, you are so great with your horses, and you have the whole farming thing going on (which, after working my 12'x12' plot I think I would drop dead if I was a real farmer) not to mention the whole schooling issue with your children. You are a woman to be reckoned with, and I'd gladly spin my wheels with you any time! : )

:) Life can really throw us some tough ones, at times...but it will pass. Use LJ to lift your spirits, I say -- and those posts which don't, try to ignore. And take breaks -- we'll all still be here when you return (with open arms, to boot).

Thanks, Robin. : )

Whoa, so, like, I just had major problems even managing to clicky on the right thing on your page because, like, instead of a normal thingie that you expect? There's this weirdass CROSSHAIRS thingie on your page. Soooo....I'm having difficulty even clicking a mouse here

[chant_1]

Thank you, my friend. FWIW, you're one of the reasons that no matter how often I leave, I always come back. And I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't read CPE, so now I have a book for my "to buy" list. Any excuse, really... ; P

Re: the crosshairs, that is this new "format" or whatever the hell it's called that I chose, which also doesn't show me people's subject lines. Do. Not. Like.

Thanks for this response...it was just what I needed today. Not rambling or incoherent at all. Kinda like having coffee wtih a friend.

[ex_triciasu]

You don't need to buy that book--it will totally be at any library I'm sure! Highly recommended, though perhaps only absorbable in smaller doses.

Coffee? Someday we will, for real. I look forward to that :-)

[chant_1]

I hope so! Coffee, tea...alcohol...whatever! ; )

Besides, we'd miss that sparkly butterfly icon :)

Thanks, Jon. ; )

I stopped my LJ a few times. And I'll probably do it again. But I always come back because of the good friends, their inspiration and encouragement.

Take the break if you need it... we'll be here for you when you need us.

[chant_1]

I remember that sad recent time when your LJ went dark...we totally missed you! But yeah...you guys keep me coming back. Thanks, Brian. : )
