I’m glad your son if feeling better.

I’m glad to see you’re trying to take it a bit easy these days and that your cold is finally getting better.

You have a wonderful blog here, and no doubt I’ll be back often now to read your new articles. My son is feeling much better now, thank you!

Best wishes,

Amanda

Amanda, thanks for taking the time to read the article. We have to be reminded that other things come first every now and then. It sounds like you have a great set of readers.

I am taking some of my own advice. Every night, when I get home, I’m going to read a little or watch a movie or something. I’ve been doing this for the past few days. This has helped tremendously. Plus, I think my cold is clearing up.

I hope your son is feeling well. Stop by again sometime.

My son recently had an operation, so I decided it was time to take some time off to spend with my family. It wasn’t until then that I realized how important it was for me to spend some time away from my computer, my blog and that pesky email account! As you’ve rightfully said, our blogs and readers will still be there when we return after a break. In fact I was really surprised how supportive my readers have been in my taking some time off from my blog.

I love that you’ve offered us some suggestions for taking time out from blogging, and do hope that you listen to your own advice Thank you for providing us with this wonderful blog!

So I’m not really intending on getting an X360. I’m saving for a Mac instead!

I wish I’d thought about “shopping.” That’s definitely a good stress reliever. It’s nice to just go out and buy something for yourself. I do miss shopping every now and then. Of course, if I buy anything while out in here in Korea and want to keep it, I’ll have to pay money to ship it to the States when I leave.

I’m working on a plan to scale things back a bit, but still try to get as much done as possible. I think organization is the key.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about the theme.

I just wanted to say I love your Visionary theme and plan on using it shortly…although I think I’ll have some issues to get over as my tabs don’t work…but I saw your solution.

I think for me, the best way to get away from blogging it to just post something about taking a few days off and then stay away from your computer.

Read a book, go outside and get the yard fixed up, run some errands, go shopping for a new tshirt or something.

Try to leave the email and stuff alone…

Obviously that is tough with what you have going on, you can’t get away from everything, but sometimes, you just need a break. At least a day.

I’m at least working on a few paid designs now. The Newspaperize, Magtastic, and Visionary themes have opened a few doors for me. I’m not so worried about a substantial or steady income right now. I just want to establish myself as a serious contender in the blogging world.

I think I might have come off negatively in the post, but this is certainly not the case. Whatever sickness I came down with put me in a not-so-good mood, though I think I’m getting better now. Since I had to remind myself to take a break over the weekend, I figured I’d share with my readers, remind them to take a break too.
