Forgive me Peeps.
Yeah, that’s me right now… in a constant state of ‘Meh’!
I am entering the last week of this first term and I think I will be crawling towards Friday. I am really tired. Things have been too hectic for me this term.I ave coped, just about, but it means that many other things in my life have suffered.
I cannot teach, be wife and mum, writer and blogger to the standard that I want, so I am not going to push myself either.
Rather than write posts that are just full of ‘Meh’, I will just do my weekly challenges for a little while. But I will still be around! I can’t disappear completely! My day’s aren’t complete without reading your posts or answering notifications!
Of course, if inspiration hits, I am sure something will end up being published!
So, forgive me if I don’t seem more ‘present’
But I shall be around…
Enjoy Peeps, and try and learn when you’ve reached breaking point, that it’s better to recoup your energy and start afresh, rather than destroy yourself trying to be a superhuman…

Hi Ritu, you don’t have to post multiple times in a day. Lots of bloggers have schedules for posting and only post a couple of times a week. Blogging is something to be enjoyed.

I don’t thing anyone could say anything about you taking a step back, you’re one of the most proactive people here that I know.
Sometimes blogging becomes like a part time job, whicg is difficult when you have a full time one.

Isn’t it funny how we find we feel guilty if we don’t post as often as we did? But to whom are we beholden? Not the blogily who we know understand. It’s the old conundrum of self expectation. I blame my parents for giving me this work ethic!! You know you can take time out and the community you have won’t go away
So get that mental rest you deserve
