Hit the Pause for Now

Last night, tried to think about what I wanted to write
Foggy, hazy, not inspired
Can't blame the heat. A "cool" spell blew through
I've decided to hit the pause button on the blog.  I've brought lots of book reviews, movie reviews, poetry, and my heart to you. But here lately, it's been memes and nothing of consequence. Time for a break. I shall visit your blogs, enjoy your posts, and wish  you well on new writing ventures. 

 I've been thinking

        I'm tired of thinking

                    About thinking


See ya later 

Joanne

    We all need a break sometimes. I love reading your reviews and reading all the places you've visited, so make sure you come back!!

    PS I love that 2nd picture, of the trees - so atmospheric and spooky!

      thank you so much. I've run out of spark in 2020. Perhaps 2021 will bring some new material.
      We're still FB friends and I'm a fan of your writing, of course!

    Hi Joanne - hope to see you back when you're ready - with a book review or movie one ... take care and no worries ... life goes on. I'd love to be in your back yard - just 'tinking'!! All the best ... relax and chill out - Hilary

    I've taken some short breaks this summer. Won't post again until the next IWSG day. Got some good stuff for that one though.
    Enjoy your break and un-fuzz.

    Enjoy your break Joanne, will miss your post of course. It is hard to know what to write about at the moment as we're not doing our usual things and travelling about.
    Keep well and safe.
    Yvonne.

    Thank you for all the fun places you've taken me along to and for the film/book reviews. I'm going to miss your posts terribly.

    It's been a super exhausting time these past few months, it's good that you're taking a break to recharge. We need to do what we need to do. I look forward to seeing you back here when you're rested and ready. Enjoy the break. Keep safe and stay well.

    I think --no, I know-- you deserve this break.
    Recharge, do some enjoyable self-care, and know that we'll be right here to welcome you upon return.

    Love and cheer, my friend. Stay cool.

    I understand not having a lot to write about. I encountered that problem on my other blog, Mama Diaries. Enjoy your break. When things get back to normal, you'll be out doing fun things with your husband and you'll have more to write about.

      thanks. And I'm enjoying following your success on FB, etc. Glad you could get back to music with your students - that's where you thrive. I'm sure they missed you.

    I understand you needing to step back from the blog so you can concentrate on recharging. I think all of our batteries are pretty darned depleted about now. Take care of yourself, and come back as soon as you feel up to it. (Maybe you could review TV shows???)

      oh believe me, I've already thought about posting stuff. I think I just got bored with myself. Meanwhile, I am reading everyone's blog and commenting...so keep posting. I'll be back.

      thanks much. I'm enjoying reading more blogs. I hope after next week, depending on the election, I can stop feeling angry about so much. We shall see.
