My funny is gone


I can’t bring myself to write about happy things right now. I usually love to write about the little moments in my kids lives that make me chuckle or something in my life that makes me laugh. I just can’t do that right now. It’s not where my head is (believe me, I know that’s where it should be but reality isn’t always what we want). I’m not saying I don’t enjoy these moments still, because I do. It’s just that when I try to write about them I sound sullen and sad. (Hmm, much like this post.)

So, I’m thinking I’ll make it official and say I’m taking a little break from blogging. My heart is not in it and writing crap is fun for no one. I may come back and use you all to get some thought vomit out now and again but for the most part, I think taking a break is best.

I’ll still be reading your blogs (I need something to keep me sane) and I will try my best to comment as often as possible but even if I don’t please know I’m in the background living vicariously through you.

Until next time…

  1. Hey, this is just what I am doing. I am resetting my funny and reading other people's work.

    I think every blogger can understand.

    And guess what? You can blog as often or as little as you want. Why? Because you're the boss of your blog.

  2. I really really hope everything is okay. I will miss you, but I completely understand that you need a break.

    If you need anything, let me know.

    My internet ear is a pretty good listener.

  3. Good for you. We all need to use our blogs for ourselves. When it feels good to write, write. When it doesn't, don't. You've got the right idea! If you ever want just one anonymous stranger to bounce ideas off of, instead of all your dedicated readers, feel free to email me. Hang in there!

  4. Oh Lily! I hope you take care of yourself through all of this and that everything in life works out for the best for you. I love reading your stuff and will miss you. Take care, love!

    (That's is by far the nicest thing I've written in a while...I gotta go make fun of somebody hard core to make up for it!! =)

  8. I can't even begin to tell you how much I relate to this. I have had many phases like this and sometimes a break is the best thing. Taking the pressure off of feeling like you have to put something together to make other people chuckle when all you want is to zone out in front of the TV or put your energy somewhere else. Enjoy your break!

  9. Breaks are good sometimes. I had been struggling with mine too for a while but it seems to be inching it's way back. Sorry that life is full of curve balls right now for you. Good luck with your new focus.

  10. Good luck to you :) I know I don't comment much but I have been reading. I think sometimes a good break is in order. I have been thinking about things in regard to my blog myself.

  11. Lily I'll miss you and hope you come back one day! That said, completely understandable. In the meantime, hang in there, sister!

  13. I know how you feel. I've definitely been there. And lately. I've hardly been blogging all. Instead of it being something fun, it seems like a chore. Taking a break really helps. We'll be here when you come back.
