It will soon be 5 months since I retired thinking I would have lots more time to blog with 592 posts out there already. However, I am faced with the old saying, my well is drying up. There has been literally no motivation for a while now to post a blog.
Don't get me wrong because I still love to visit blogs, it's just that my blog is seeing an end much sooner than I had previously imagined. I won't say that you will never see another post from me but I have to be realistic and understand that my time for a break has come.
I communicate with a lot of you my email and/or facebook and will continue to do so. If you do not have my address and would like to touch me with an email it is odie_langley@yahoo.com.
Needless to say there have been some really happy times here and I have shared many pictures and videos that can still be seen at any time. Take care and know I will be viewing your posts as often as I can.
Until later...
Odie
Well, you will be missed. I know that a lot of us are posting periodically lately...must be in the air.
ReplyDeleteknow that I have enjoyed your posts...enjoyed the banter and appreciate your friendship.
hugs to you!
I am going to really miss your posts, Odie. I understand, though, because I'm about 90% decided I'm just going to be a commenter, too. I hope though, that after a break, you will find yourself refreshed and renewed and ready to blog again, my friend-
ReplyDeleteI think we were all getting carried away with blogging a year ago. We were setting too hectic a pace. Since then nearly all the people you and I know have either slowed down or stopped completely. Our friendship's intact, Odie. The important thing is to enjoy your life as you see fit without feeling obligated. Take care, good buddy!
ReplyDeleteDon't give it up entirely! Take a break but do come back, you will be missed!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you Odie!!! Life happens and we move on....it's hard to go back to after a break sometimes...I think when it's no longer fun, then it's time to take a break.
ReplyDeletewe'll still stay in touch!
Love you Odie!
Well, you've seen how little I've posted on my blog lately LOL It was nice to have a break and not have to come up with posts. I'm kinda getting into the swing again, but who knows. I'll mainly be doing reviews right now because I'm behind - whoops! Enjoy your break and live life! :)
ReplyDeleteWell That sucks but I understand. I've had to make choices too. Like splitting up which blogs I will read on what day. Otherwise that is all I have time to do. I'm so glad I met you and you have my email and blog addy. Don't lose it. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Odie. I quite understand your reasoning behind this post, but we will all miss you dear friend. I agree with Shady, in that last year, we were all blogging like mad, but, honestly, most of our friends are blogging far less frequently these days, including me. I'm really struggling to think of things to come up with that would be of any interest to my friends. Personally, I really enjoyed your blog videos, and all the photos you have posted, especially the ones when you were based in Vietnam. You have always been such a supportive and encouraging friend to us all, and we do appreciate that. Who else is going to call me "sweet thang?!" I hope that you, Linda, Rocky and Soffy are keeping well. Don't say "goodbye" = just "au revoir". Take care Odie. Hugs coming your way.
ReplyDeleteAwe, well I'll be sitting in the bloggy land waiting to see another post from you and will keep on emailing as well. Hang in there Odie!
ReplyDeleteNo Odie:-( I will miss you! I have enjoyed being your friend in the blog world. Keep sending those e-mails.

I, for one, really enjoy your emails! And I completely understand when your blog needs a little hiatus.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we're connected through facebook. I just read the review you left for my brother. Thank you for taking the time to read his book. I'm thrilled that you like it as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteHi Odie. I've just returned to blogging today! I feel refreshed after a break and I had a lot to do with moving my sister here. She is all settled in now and I have more time. I am going to cut back on posting though. Every day was too much! I'll miss your blog but it is nice to get emails etc. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI miss you blogs. Maybe Vloggng is the way to go. I do enjoy the video blogs you have dine in the past. Either way. I'm happy we are bloggy friends Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOdie! Don't write it off so soon. Take a walk...inspiration strikes when you least expect it. Make writing your blog post a part of your routine.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well!
Gretchen
I'm glad you have started posting again, Odie :)
