I wish there was some possible way to convey how much each and every one of these means to me. I mean, really. I've been reading and re-reading over them and they are of enormous comfort and support. In ways you can't imagine. Please know that I don't take any of these or the thoughtful people behind them for granted.<br /><br />Every day... I can stop and look, read, and remember... 42 blessings. Each and every one. <br /><br />Thanks, again, Kids. For everything. :)Uncle Beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01865761598525174229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-27380705869624570762010-06-02T09:28:48.095-07:002010-06-02T09:28:48.095-07:00I love you U.Beefy!

I love the way your write, your wittiness and your style. <br /><br />I congratulate you on getting out and living your authentic life -your real life- and are not just living vicariously through the pretty one you've curated here on the blog. <br /><br />It's out there for you, I am sure of it -- as a creative I know it's hard to find a comfy place. I have tried on creative careers like hats, I tell you...and I am still looking for the right one. That hunt, does it come from being highly visual person who is easily inspired to create beautiful things? I don't know. But I am proud of you for taking a step back to really suss things out and make new, smarter choices for yourself. <br /><br />Like you said, a break, blogging less NOT never blogging again - I think we can ALL deal with that idea. Cuz we'll miss you on the days while you are away! Maybe all of us should take a lesson from you on that. It's time to enjoy this beautiful life, flaws and all.<br /><br />Now let's get out of the house and go eat cake. <br />xxABCDABC Dragoohttp://www.abcddesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-85867679105196462552010-05-19T12:52:47.970-07:002010-05-19T12:52:47.970-07:00Great post, Uncle Beefy.

I think so many of us can relate to what you're going through, and so sorry that you're going through it. Juggling so many things gets overwhelming and we must take some things off of our plate to regroup. I don't mean to be "preachy," but take your needed time off from blogging. We'll all be here when you return. Your life is more important than trying to keep up with the madness of the internet. That's why I rarely comment on blogs. I just don't have time. I'm rambling...so take care...smell the roses...and we'll all be here doing the same old sh*t!!Paris Hotel Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515999381490576952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-75884000303391132142010-05-18T14:42:46.531-07:002010-05-18T14:42:46.531-07:00Just seen this.

Actuall...I've been feeling the same exact way. Actually for the past 6 months I've been feeling this way. I think it's something we all go through, and you know this already...for me, blogging was a creative outlet and a way to connect to people when I wasn't quite as busy with life. Right now I'm a full time grad student and I'm almost 6 months pregnant. The first trimester I was miserable about blogging because I used to love to do it in the morning, then I was constantly nauseous and unmotivated to do much of anything then. I don't know if/when I'll be able to go back and say I'm 100% back in the game. <br /><br />I can't offer much advice because I'm totally with you, but I have to express what a talented, unique and funny person you are. I don't know if you hear it all the time or what, but there isn't really anyone else like you out there in the blogging world. And I should know....I have subscribed to them ALL! It's tough being a blogger and only other bloggers really know that.TheBeautyFilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285421781235824373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-3231015697834868332010-05-17T09:35:32.420-07:002010-05-17T09:35:32.420-07:00Just know we love your writings and all you share ...Just know we love your writings and all you share with us, from every perspective you have a way of getting everyone on board and I think we all feel confused and wondering about the purpose but find it hard to share those feelings, I am adding two more arms to Jane's bear hug.<br /><br />PS.
