go placidly...

Not really, I just couldn't resist starting with Ol' Blue Eyes.

But I've been thinking, and dancig around this idea for a while. Blogging...well...it seems to have run out of steam a bit for me. Or maybe I've run out of steam a bit for it. I'll admit that lately my posts have been sporadic at best, and there hasn't been a whole lot of...there there, you know? Of course you know, you've been the ones reading.

I didn't even make it all the way through the February photo challenge, though I may yet catch up on twitter or instagram. Maybe. Me and photo challenges though...you were warned.

Anyway it got me thinking. What's the point in posting just for the sake of posting? Lately I feel like I don't have much to say, and I'm basically blogging "beacuse I feel like I should." And honestly? That's a rubbish reason to do anything. Life is too short and time is too precious and hey, it's the internet, there are a thousand other people blogging with actual things to say, why not step back a bit and give them space?

So that's what I'm doing. I'm not giving up blogging for good, but I am taking a break. If and when inspiration strikes again I have no doubt I'll find my way back here. But for now, I think a break is exactly what I need.. Less screen, more life.

Thankyou so much everyone who's read or commented or get in touch here or on twitter or wherever, it's wonderful getting to know people - and I'm still going to be reading your blogs and commenting as time and technology allows {my eyes are still on a go-slow plan at the moment which has even the doctors befuddled: I expect that might have something else to do with why me and screens are a bit at odds of late} and if you want to stay in touch, please do email me! I'm still going to tweeting @go_placidly too, so feel free to follow or message me if you want to talk all things frivolous and tea-related ;)
And...that's it.

Tchau, for now!
