Have you ever felt as if you’ve got nothing to say?
I’ve been gone a while. Sorry about that. I’ve reached a point that I feel as if I have nothing interesting to say. I can’t tell you why. When I think about how long it’s been since I’ve written a post, I want to get online and write, but I just haven’t had the energy.
I wonder if I’m feeling a bit burned out. My brain is always active so I sometimes feel as if I need to take a break from all the constant activity. Yes, blogging means I’m sitting at my laptop and typing with my fingers, which is not the most active thing someone can do. But it means my brain is on all the time and the past few weeks I’ve felt as if I need to let my brain relax a bit. Let it slow down and enjoy some relaxation. Like reading a novel. It’s been so long since I’ve read a good novel and now that I have my Kindle, I’ve been finding myself reading more and I like that. I just started reading some Sherlock Holmes books that were free for Kindle. I feel as if I want to slow down and not feel so married to my laptop.
So, I guess I’ve been taking an unintended blogging vacation and didn’t even realize it. But I think it will be over soon.
While there is a distinct and palpable void in twitter and blogosphere while you are “away”, time off is a good thing. Even the Lord needed time to rest! Enjoy your family and “me time”, and I know that soon your thoughful writign will once again cause me to pause and ponder. God bless!

Oh, Kim, I so understand! There are times when I sit down at night to work and have not a shred of creative impulse in my brain. For a long time I felt as if I had to stay up and *make* something happen, but I’ve gotten better about realizing that life as we know it will not end if I go to bed at a normal hour occasionally. ;-} Hang in there!
