Ever noticed how a vacation or mini break recharges your battery? Same thing with a blog, a break, a slow down is necessary so that you can come back to it with a spring in your step. As a reader, it gives me the chance to look into the archives and enjoy more of you guys :) There is always a point when we have to take a step back and breathe.

This blog medium is so interesting, in that we all somehow feel "obligated" to post on a certain schedule, and that we have to apologize if we don't... but really, life is full of ebbs and flows, and that's the beauty of it. I love your spring photos. This is my absolute favorite time of year. I can totally relate!

I've been slumping for months now (similar to slumming but not quite). In my experience, the more energy I put into the blog, the more energy and enthusiasm I get out of it--but sometimes even that knowledge doesn't help me dive in again. It always comes back eventually though. I'm sure it will for you too. Now, go play and enjoy yourself! Welcome to my neighborhood!

This has been a long winter and sometimes getting an extra hour of sleep or watching an hour of TV seems easier than blogging. Once the sun comes out and the snow melts I'm sure everyone will start thinking about cocktails again. I know how you feel.

To say nothing of the fact that my photographer seems to have gone on hiatus as well! Fret not -- one day we will all be back to our happy blogging selves. Maybe after the time change?

I have so much to say - and I can't even be bothered with the writing part now, or even cooking: spring cleaning is my new 'thing', that and beautifying my space with purchase from etsy.com. Maybe when I am through with that I will be refreshed and ready to create again. I think my readers have given up even asking if I am ok every time I have a blog slump now.

That said, I noticed that there was no DOTW but didn't want to bug you about it. ;) I am not a good person to coach someone through a blog slump (I sometimes feel like my blogging career has been one long slump broken up by brief moments of brilliance).
