Oh, Dear Ones, I'm so sorry but the time has come for me to take a little blogging rest! It's so hard because blogging and you have become such a big part of my life! Mother is still living with us and she really is doing so much better and I thank you all for your continued support and prayers...but I feel a little over burdened at the moment! Just need a little rest and then I'll come back all refreshed.Stay where you are and I'll be back in a week or so!! Don't forget about me!!
You are all my sweeties,
Shelia ;)
We love you Shelia,
ReplyDeleteCome back soon!
I could never forget you...I love all your posts and sweet songs, and thoughtful comments.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring...enjoy it

ReplyDeleteShelia:
ReplyDeleteThis actually makes me feel good because while right now I can post everyday and visit all of my blog roll, even the ones who post more than once!!!!, there will come times this summer when I will need to cut way back and I want to know that the friends I have made will still be around. I will wait for you. You have a lovely break.
Have a Thankful Thursday
from the Raggedy Roberta Anne

Of COURSE, we will wait for you, miss you and welcome you back with open arms. This is meant to be a fun thing, not a burden...so we'll see you when you are ready to have some more bloggin FUN! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Sheila we should ALL do that! As much fun as blogging is, we all need a respite from it now and then. It was exciting to meet you and how wonderful that your mom lives with you...somehow that makes perfect sense though. See you when you get back and thanks for your "quick" responses on these blogs. I can see that you are loved by many women in this forum. Hope you come back all rested up...I'll be back to check on you.:)
ReplyDeleteThere is no possible way we could forget about you. You are unforgettable! You take that rest. You are very wise to recognize your need for a rest. I'll be checking back to see how you are.

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely rest!
Margie :)
Good morning dear Shelia ...I so understand your need for a tiny break from blogland. Though I have been blogging for a relatively short time, I also have seriously considered 'stepping away' from the self-imposed pressure. We aren't going anywhere, even if we don't blog on a consistent basis ~ the friendship and bond has been created. You are quite unique you know.
ReplyDeleteForget about you? Don't be a silly!! We love you and will be right here waiting for you. Put your tiny feetsies up on that softer than soft footstool and relax. You are a delight in my life, Shelia.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mona
Just don't leave us forever! I'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteWhen you do come back, don't make blogging a chore. Just blog when you have the time and feel like it.
Hugs to your mom.
Ruthie
Hi sweet Shelia...we'll leave the light on for you...whatever time you need, just take it. It'll sure be a duller Blogland without your sweet voice "singing" to us...
ReplyDeleteSending you bunches of cyber hugs, ;-) Bo
Catch up on your me time and relax. We'll still be here.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be here, Shelia! You are worth the wait, dear!
ReplyDeleteI'm there with you, Shelia... I took a break earlier to blog and am back on to blog again... but I have got so much going on and desperately need a rest. Hope you get a good one!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Boo! Hoo! I miss you already! Enjoy your rest and come back refreshed!
ReplyDeleteHI Shelia. Take your well deserved rest and we will all be here waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your mom are enjoying a beautiful day together*!

Shelia
ReplyDeleteTake a rest and do what you have to. I understand what you mean and often times feel that same way....enjoy the nice weather and its spring tomorrow.
Hugs to your mom
Judi
Darling Shelia, I'll miss your little songs but you take all the time you need. A rest will refresh you, I speak from experience! ; )
ReplyDeleteHugs, Bridget
So glad to hear things are good with your mom.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am getting ready to rest for awhile. When all you think about is blogging, and what you are going to post, and how many comments do you have time to leave and ...and....THEN it's time to take a break!!
Have fun!
xo bj
The blog world itself can be overwhelming sometimes. Take a much needed break and get some rest and relaxtion. Hopefully, you will come back with great inspiration and a restored heart and mind for sharing with us.
ReplyDeletep.s. in answer to your question about my wife's meta...Monday bathroom....she used old text book pages to wrap the cans.
-Steve-French Cupboard

ReplyDeleteTake all the time you need, Shelia, sweetie! We'll be here when you get back!
ReplyDeleteHow could we ever forget about you Shelia! I totally understand...I have a feeling when spring arrives I'm going to have to spend much less time blogging and more time getting the yard back in business. Life gets in the way of blogging sometimes lol. Have a wonderful break and we'll be here waiting when you get back!
ReplyDeleteWe will not forget YOU... we will look forward to your return and you singing to us once again... for now enjoy a rest!
ReplyDeleteFifi

ReplyDeletetake care,

ReplyDeleteDo what you have to do.we'll be here when you get back.luv ya...Ann
ReplyDeleteShelia - and you are our Sweetie. I love your blog and your Note Songs. Take a deserved rest and I look forward to your return.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sweetie
Just popped in to say hello & tell you I'm thinking about you. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs~ J
I can sympathize with the stress caring for a parent causes. Easy to say, take care of yourself, but it is not always possible. You must learn to rest WHENEVER it is possible. Night time seems to burden your mind with problems, so take naps during the day. Being tired makes doing almost anything hard. Praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteOk You have had enough rest!!! We want you back! Well only if you are ready to come play!!! Kathy
ReplyDeleteI'm missing you Shelia! I hope you are having some rest and fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, dear ladyness...I am just about beside myself, wondering how things are going with you. I hope things are good and you are getting a much needed rest.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much more willpower than I do...I can't seem to stay away from it all...OH, Dear...I am addicted !!
xo bj
Shelia, here's a huge HUG. I'm gone, too, for a while.
ReplyDeleteTake the time you need dear Shelia! I'll be waiting for you when you get back! With tea and danish ...
ReplyDeleteOkay, enough is enough Shelia! I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!! Come back!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJustiney :o )
Enjoy you break dear Shelia. I also feel better after giving myself permission to take a break.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your mom, your hubby your fur baby and anything else you have been missing. We all need time to rejuvenate.
I adore your Springness, and your beautiful little piano clock from Jan and Tom.
Your daughters cute hair cut in her picture reminds me of my hair...I always had it short like that forever.
I also see that Laurie passed on my "Shoe" award to you. So deserved. I'm glad you have one.
I will miss you but take as much time as you need.
Love Claudie
xoxoxo
Oh, I thought you were saying good bye for good! I'll be looking for you in a week or two then! So nice to have met you. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet Shelia... I've been gone on a bloggy break too, so I didn't know you were doing the same. It's been 10 days since you posted.... I hope you're okay.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
