I too am finding that winter is a good time for my blogging but as soon as it warms up my life becomes very busy.<br />I think my blogging has been a way of saying hi out there to the world. Since I do not get out of the house much (with one car)I do not see people except on Sundays at church.<br />It has been more of a Hi out there blog. Others are informative in different ways. As I would like to pass on to others how to do some things I have learned to do.<br />But it is very time consuming and I too have slowed down in this area and tried to do what is "the best" in my individual life. Look forward to your weekly blog<br />Ninananasknollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139961128588102280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-17385276223990574482011-04-10T13:30:11.367-05:002011-04-10T13:30:11.367-05:00I have scaled way back on blogging too.

Each of us have to figure out just what that means for different times and phases in our lives and it looks like that is just what you have figured out for your present time.

I know it will be hard for you to "let go" for awhile but hopefully, less blogging will be a blessing to you! If I still had children at home, they would definitely be my priority, too. I have always marvelled at how much you packed into every single day. I cannot remember the author at the moment but my primary care physician once recommended "The Pressure's Off" book to me and it was a great help. luv n hugs, KerrieKerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372108858584347690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-31920177677528123162011-04-10T07:48:31.496-05:002011-04-10T07:48:31.496-05:00What a wise plan, dear lady!

You are doing the right thing, putting family first. I know I always find it a struggle as well. I really enjoy blogging, but I also want to give my family my best. Our children grow up too fast. Thank you for continuing to give to the blogging community and to people you don't even know. I know you are making a big difference in the lives of others, more than you may ever know. I pray that God blesses you and your family.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649677045881448393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-71044074616448066072011-04-09T21:52:03.876-05:002011-04-09T21:52:03.876-05:00Donna,

Your son is so handsome and I'm sure you will be missing him dearly. I hope the months go quickly for you and once again he will be home to share his life with you and your family.
