I am spent.
Sometimes I don’t do what I know will be good for me, like go to bed when I’m tired. No, instead I feel compelled to share with the world (that part which reads my blog) that I am exhausted.
Actually, I write this by way of apology to all the wonderful bloggers whom I visit daily. I’m sorry I don’t comment more. Too, I’m sorry I don’t respond to your comments on my blog as often as they merit.
There is so much information thunderously flowing into my brain, and I try to choose wisely. So please know that I’m out there reading, witnessing, even though I don’t communicate that. I think all the creating I’ve done these past nine days has tapped me out just as much as it has energized me.
There is a whole lot of creating going on with me these days. I need to remember to pace myself.
Sweet dreams, dear readers.
Kathryn, we all been there ourselves, haven’t we? After all, you need time to reflect, absorb the subtle lessons and grow. They say babies grow while they are asleep and I am sure there is truth to that statement. Day and night, actions and rest, you can’t have the one without the other so go on, do what your body/mind tells you to do.

I know what you mean … just doing aem can feel like a marathon .. though I’m truly glad I’m doing it, because I’m enjoying it a lot and also getting a lot out of it on deeper emotional levels.
I think rest, sleep, etc., are actually *active* aspects of creation, not passive activities, so I say go take yourself a good nap, with your new scarf wrapped around your neck, and refill your well.
I’m with you on this, Kathryn. I feel so guilty lately that I can’t get to every blog I want to even once a week. Life business coupled with information overload.
The astonishing thing is how much interesting stuff so many people have to say. Either I’ve chosen my blog reading well or bloggers are just generally more interesting than other people. Probably a bit of both.
But I still feel guilty that I don’t get around my blog block as often as I want.
Oh, how I relate to this one! When I was born into the blog world earlier this year it seemed I had all the time I wanted and needed to go, read, comment, and do my own thing. Lately the other pesky demands of living, like work, have gotten in the way. But this too shall pass. We all go through it, even those of us who are fully retired from the work life, so don’t be applogetic.
I’ve even thought of taking a sabattical from blogging; it seems some do, but that would be a surefire way to lose what little readership I’ve managed to build over the months. So I will plug along doing what I can, when I can. You do the same…we’ll be right here…
You are on information overload and I certainly check in with my favorites randomly myself. I don’t take it personally at all if you don’t comment or answer comments; you drop a note sometimes and that is just great!
I have a bad case of Blogger guilt. I don’t read around as much. I don’t write often. I almost never comment. But when I think about it, the best friends I have are the ones who are there whether I am or not. We come back together in some natural way. Which is not to say I don’t want to try to attend to my relationships. I do. I’m just grateful when It turns out that the original connection was strong enough to withstand neglect.
