Pause

Hello blog and blog readers! It's been awhile! I've been away for a bit, both literally and figuratively. This little family has been to Montana twice already this summer and we've had a blast. The summer weather practically begs us to get out of the house (except for when it's too hot, then on go the ceiling fans and movies). With all this running around, I've needed to give myself a mental break if I can't give myself a physical one. I've been reading like crazy, submitting more poems than I ever have before, I'm getting set to continue my poetry workshop in September, and we've been considering some big life changes. I'm exhausted! I always tend to go, go, go and then burn out. It works to my detriment really, because I tend to over-extend myself then have to let some things go, which I hate. That's what happened with the blog. Something had to give, so I decided to step away from the blog for a bit. I felt bad at first, but then I started to breathe and relax and think about what this blog is really about. I don't want to feel obligated to post; I want to share my life to connect with family and friends and maybe relate to others in some way. I've recharged my batteries by unplugging. And now I'm back!!! I can't wait to get back to posting and sharing pictures. For now, here's some weekend pics! Happy summer :)
