I am “this” close to giving up this blog.
I don’t feel I have anything to contribute and have not really missed blogging during my “break”.
How can I get my blogging “oomph” back? Or is it lost for ever? Do I even want it back? Or did I ever have it in the first place?
Hmm..
Update
I won’t delete it. I just won’t be posting as often.. you never know, the creativity may well flow more when things are more sorted out in the complicated roller coaster of our family life!

We love to read you, but of course, with your busy life it may be easier to stop making the effort. You have to do what is best for you.

Thanks Rosie.
Perhaps I just won’t post very often and just accept it at that - quality rather than quantity so to speak but recently I have felt that I am posting just for posting’s sake and that should not be the case.
I am still undecided, but I do so appreciate your words. Thanks

i think we all go thru periods where the words just don’t seem to want to come. i’d say, just give yourself a break. don’t delete your blog. just write when the words want to come. we’ll be here when you get back.

Thank you Leen ((((((big hug)))))))
I think that is what I have decided to do..
Just write, when the mood takes me - there is just so much going on at the moment……a break is probably what I need

WE all misplace it. I’ve been there several times. Write when you feel it.

Thanks DG - sorry about the disappearing comment - you were sent into the spam filter for some reason!
You know, that is JUST what I am going to do - write when I feel like it and no pressure just to post “something”…

Sue!!!
Don’t give it up! I’ve been having the same “ups” and “downs” re: the blog! I’ve come to believe it’s a natural thing… well not natural because blogs aren’t necessarily natural but a common feeling.
While I was away putting puzzles together I didn’t think about my blog… actually, I did. I thought about simply leaving it as is and walking away… an experiment type thing… how long before blogspot deleted it, etc.
Now, as the puzzle season winds down I’m finding an urge to get more active in the blogging again… so I guess what I’m saying is it’s cyclic… the urge to post comes and goes.

Thanks DH
I will keep it up - and just post when the urge takes me - no pressure to “perform” so to speak..
And yes, you are right - it IS cyclical!
