My hiatus from blogging has ended. I would like to report that I spent the time kicking back, enjoying the cold temperatures and brief fit of snow, reading book after book, and snacking on holiday sweets and treats, but that definitely wasn't the case. Nope. I spent my time working, scrambling to prepare for the next project, and fighting bronchitis. But I am back now and ready to dive back into the blogosphere.
I feel the need to recap what has happened and is going to happen, but I have decided against it. Instead, I will focus forward instead of backward, and I will resume my postings on photography, cooking, genealogy, life, and much more. But please know what has happened has been good (even the case of bronchitis didn't last as long as it could have lasted). Booming businesses, lots of teaching opportunities, and plenty of projects to keep me beyond busy (and may have contributed to my hiatus lasting longer than expected). But now on to even more fun, laughter, and adventures!
Welcome 2014!
Glad you are well and that you recovered from bronchitis which is nasty. Here's a to a good 2014 for you x
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you blog about! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same about taking a blog hiatus over the holidays! It's so tough to come back sometime, but also so great to re-join such an awesome online community! Good luck in 2014!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2014!! I love the spirit I feel from your post! Hope you have the best year yet :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in Canada and it's a long winter, but you'll thank yourself if you take the time to write. It's great to be able to look back on your thoughts and experiences.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Sometimes we all need breaks from the blogoverse. I recently did the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging! I found you via the SITS girls.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your last few months have been successful! Looking forward to your new posts. And I agree, it's good to keep looking ahead rather then back.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back! Looking forward to more posts. #SITSBlogging

Sounds like good things are on the way! Beautiful pumpkin patch photos, by the way! Found you through the SITS challenge. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYea!!! Welcome back! Stopping by to show some SITS love! Excited to read some of your posts! :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the SITS Challenge. I suppose a Welcome Back is in order. I took a hiatus almost a year ago to this date. It was great. I gained so much insight about myself and the direction of my blog. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to move forward with out looking back, good or bad. Booming business is always good though!
ReplyDeleteI have Bronchitis now. I've had it for a little over 2 weeks, although today I am feeling better than I have so maybe there is hope. I understand wanting to look forward and not dwell on the past. Here's to a great 2014.
ReplyDeleteHi! here from the SITS comment love event. So glad you are making your way back! I've only been at it for a little less than 3 months and I already need a hiatus, LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have had a lot going on! Good luck on your jump back into blogging. :)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes take a break from blogging, but my 2014 goal was to start blogging more often. #SITSgirls
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging! I took a hiatus once too for almost a year. But that was to find myself and work on my marriage. Best decision ever but I sure hope I don't have to take a hiatus that long again! LOL
ReplyDeleteDropping by from SITS. Have a great day!
Welcome back! Sometimes a hiatus is just what the doctor ordered. :)

Blog breaks are always good for the soul. I wish I could say we only had a little bit of snow, but it's been the opposite. Hope that you have a very productive 2014.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to step away and take a blog break. I do it a few times a year. And I always feel like I need to tell everyone everything that's happened for the past 3 months. I never do, though. Looks like you didn't either :) I hope you had a "restful" break!
ReplyDeleteHere from SITS comment love.
Sometimes taking a break is the best thing you can do for your blog! Wishing you the best of luck in the upcoming year & hope that new and amazing adventures are right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS!
Sometimes a blog break can be much needed! Glad to see you back now!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Sometimes it's great to take a little break from blogging and clear your head! Look forward to seeing what you have in store!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back and that it's been good! Here from SITS :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you are focused on moving forward and not dwelling on the past. I'm glad to hear you are back to blogging!
ReplyDeleteHi Jack! Welcome back to the blogging world. Stopping by from SITS :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm dropping by from SITS! Welcome back! Look forward to seeing what lies ahead.
ReplyDeleteKeep moving forward!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blogosphere! Bronchitis SUCKS! Boo!!!! I took a break a year ago and it felt good to take the break because it also made me realize how much I MISSED blogging and the blogging community!

Coming by from the SITS challenge...welcome back to the blogging world! I hope you feel refreshed after your break!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are back after a blogging hiatus. I think we all need to take those from time to time to catch up on our personal lives!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back chicky! We all need a break from time to time and then we feel energized when we get back in the game! #SITSblogging
ReplyDeleteUgh, the bronchitis has been bad for so many this year. Welcome back to blogging and here's to a healthy 2014!!
