It’s come…
I’ve officially hit that level where I feel the need to step back.
Mentally, physically, emotionally exhausted… That’s me.
You may not see my posts popping up as frequently as they usually do, but I’m going to revert to becoming a blog when I can blogger, rather than a scheduled poster…
This is not good bye, by any means, I will still post. I will take part in challenges. And I will most definitely read your posts, as and when I can. I guess I just realised that I am burning the candle at both ends too much.
I would dearly love to take the time, and try and continue with my book too, so I will still be be being productive.
So don’t worry, as I said, if you don’t see my posts… I will be here, honestly!
Thank you my Blogily!!
But I Smile Anyway...

Thank you Sheldon.
Since I stepped back, it has been easier to manage. I couldn’t ever leave my blog, but I have so much going on in Real life, I had to learn to let go a little, and it has helped.
I hope you are well 😊

Personally I was wondering how you were doing it all without being burnt out. Even on vacation you weren’t on vacation. Self care and balance most important, Ritu. Please remember that, because truth is your family needs you more, than we do.Peaceful rest!

Thank you Trudy. I guess I really am growing up… I realise I can’t do everything to the same levels, but I’d rather do what I do, well and less frequent,y, rather than churn out things because I feel I have to, you know! I will still be around, I can’t keep away, but more reading for a while. Less writing, I think!!!!
