I just wanted to draft a short post to report that I am still alive and kicking – and feeling much better for having a two-week break from blogging. I will be back posting regularly from next week.
I wanted to thank everyone for the lovely comments. I have not yet gotten around to responding but I have read them all and I am really touched by the kindness of my fellow bloggers. It really is such a lovely community and I am happy and proud to be a part of it.
I will do my best to catch up over the next week. I have really missed blogging and especially missed conversing with you all. I am so glad it was just a touch of blogger burnout which was affecting my mood the last month or so. Now that I have had a small break, I feel ready to jump into the fray again!

Welcome back!! 🙂
Thanks Freda – it’s good to be back!! 🙂
Sometimes you just need a break to recharge your batteries. I’m glad you’re feeling better and raring to go!
Absolutely!! A break was just what I needed. Now I just need to catch up on everything!! I am looking forward to catching up with everyone though. 🙂
