Sometimes life just gets out of control, and it’s hard to keep your head above water. That’s where I am at right now. Hanging on by my fingernails.
It is necessary for me to take a break from the computer. No posts, no linky parties. I love blogging and all of my dear blogging friends, and I will miss you. Life has just become to over whelming for me right now and my health is giving me fits. I’m the kind of soul that I do it right or take a break and that’s what I am doing with my blogging. I will be back in a few weeks, before the holidays so I can share with you my Romantic Christmas decor. Until then take care and don’t forget me.
I will miss you all and I will try to check out the blogs that I follow.
Have a lovely week.
Hugs, Jo
Be well!

Sweet Vera, I have so enjoyed our blogging friendship. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. Meditation is something that I will be putting back into my life style. I don’t know why but when life gets crazy I seem to forget the important things to make my body, soul, and mind well. Love you Jo

Your body tells you when you need to take a break, so I am glad you are listening to it My husband did not and now I am typing this from his hospital room this evening!

I could never forget you, sweet friend. I think you are wise to take a break and I am planning on doing the same after the Tea Cup and Mug Exchange link-up. I am simply exhausted and can’t seem to catch up with life.

Jo, my sweet friend, I’m just getting around to reading and catching up on blogs and emails as I once again fly home on a long flight. I must say, I will greatly miss you blog posts but those will always be here as well as I when you’re reading to return to the blogging world. But to be honest, I’m so happy you are able to listen to your soul and know what you, as a person, really need at this time. Take all the precious time you need to recover, relax, and center your spirit. As you already know, I’m so unpredictable about when I blog and half of that is due in part to me just living life, real life. Please, please, please know that I am just around the corner (Ok, maybe a 20-30 minute corner) but I will be there in a heart beat whenever and if you need a friend to lean on. Much love to you.
