I still wonder what possesses me to have a blog with a job that has me working 7 days a week during 11 months of the year. It's my escape and when it stops being that then I'll stop. So do what you need to do...haha like you need my permission. I wish you the best of luck in your new venture. <br />Oh btw I love weeds and dandies are one of my favorites. I remember the words of Paul James...there is nothing natural about gardens. <br />x<br />CaroleCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812929183991250426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-63404307583739687402012-02-28T17:28:44.092-05:002012-02-28T17:28:44.092-05:00Kat,

There have been moments where I thought I can not blog anymore, not just because of the time it takes to pull together a post, but mostly because of the guilt and sadness I have over not being able to visit friends and respond to emails.<br /><br />But when I read this, I am so happy for your new endeavors and it reminds me that even when we're not always present in the moment, we can be supporting eachother in the background of our busy lives.<br />xo,<br />~RAcanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-56318300528443530502012-02-27T21:33:54.511-05:002012-02-27T21:33:54.511-05:00Definitely a post that so many of us can relate to...Definitely a post that so many of us can relate to!

There are those built in lulls during the day. When I'm in the car waiting for my teen to come out of the locker room, I answer e-mails. There have been several times when friends and I have had a wine and cheese picnic during a 2 hour football practice.<br /><br />I imagine that once the bulk of my efforts aren't kid oriented, I'll actually invest the time in myself to take a photography class, or even travel more, and that's when it'll be harder to connect with my friends.<br /><br />Finding balance is hard. I think especially so for driven creative people such as yourself who only want to put out there very best. You'll find your balance. In the meantime, know that we'll still be right here enjoying your wonderful blog.laxsupermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797787877548962742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-17164736728125613492012-02-27T09:35:34.532-05:002012-02-27T09:35:34.532-05:00I think we have all been there and are there right...I think we have all been there and are there right now.

I read a post a week or so ago on a blog I had previously enjoyed about how rude and arrogant it was to not respond to EVERY single comment and every single e-mail and that why even bother blogging if you weren't going to make sure to return a comment to each person that commented on each post. I was so disheartened when I read that because I felt so bad because I can't possibly keep up with that every day. Anyway, thank you so much for writing this!Dear Lilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916503973078592801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-75825105107032006902012-02-26T22:48:31.533-05:002012-02-26T22:48:31.533-05:00Girl, I SO understand!

It's hard to know you have so many obligations and on top of it, you start to neglect yourself.

Thanks so much for your beautiful blog. I am going to have to check out Missy's shop. I saw that she was gone from the "mall" but couldn't get much info from them just that some vendors had opened shops of their own.

It doesn't have to be every day or every week - just once every blue moon. I don't want them to forget about me either. I make myself insanely busy, but I like it that way too. Good luck with that.

From time to time I feel like a 'bad friend' - there are so many demands on my time...work, family, my parents now here, volunteer jobs....I've had friends write notes to me asking what they've done to offend, because I haven't been in touch. I'm mortified. Did our mothers have these feelings? My mother had a full and busy life, but she was happy in her role as wife and mother and community volunteer - there weren't the demands that there are today - at least I don't think so. <br />Short answer - you've said what a lot of us feel. If I seem serene it's because I'm paddling like mad underwater.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-88236044788444897352012-02-26T14:12:38.700-05:002012-02-26T14:12:38.700-05:00OH Kat...I think we all identify...it just seems t...OH Kat...I think we all identify...it just seems there's never enough hours in the day.
