A Short Pause

[puppetmaker]

As in I feel I need to take a short pause and reassess some stuff that has been going on.

I figured out the other day that I was getting to wrapped up in some drama on the Internet. I wasn’t saying anything but I was following what was going a little too close. And I was getting angry about something I have no control over. I am not going to change the person at the other end of the conversation because this little drama seems to crop up about every 3 to 4 months from the same group of people.

I need some time for me. I need some time to figure out how I can help the people I want to help. I need to take a step back and center myself.

My brain is flying all over the place and I need to get it back on track. I am going back to the lists to get my day in order. I am figuring out the calendar for the next month.

This weekend is going to be a good weekend to do it. It will be just Caroline and me. Peter is off to Uruguay. Ariel doesn’t get back until Monday. Caroline is looking forward to Ariel being home.

Yes, I did see Supernatural. And I did cry at a couple of points. Let’s keep the comments spoiler free for a day or so. If that was were the series ended, I would have been satisfied. I think I know where the added scenes were. I plan to do a Supernatural entry soon.

It doesn’t mean that I won’t be writing here, but I might be taking a break from other parts of the Internet where I participate. And the entries might not be every day.

I need some quiet time to reflect and renew before I get into the rest of the year.

I am grateful to everyone who reads this web log. I don’t think y’all know how much I appreciate you.

Hugs, I am sending you so much love and good feelings. Enjoy the quiet time, you do so much and even you need to refill the well.

Best wishes!

Sometimes stepping back is the right thing. We'll still be here when you get your head straight.

It is so easy to get caught up in internet drama! I hope you get the quiet time you need to get your center back! *big huggles*

Get yourself where you need to be. We'll be here.

And on a selfish note: I hope that my DFT posts sometimes make you feel a little better when these things arise. /selfish note

Be well.

And I appreciate you, too.

Years ago, I used to be stretched all over the Internet, under several net-names and spread over numerous discussion groups. It's funny that I now have a better-known net-presence and a more positively-regarded one now that I'm only in one or two places.

There always comes a time when one needs to reassess. Do what regrouping you need to.

I appreciate your blog too, especially the stuff about things you make!

Among friends, I like to propose the toast: "More theater, less drama." Raising a glass your way.

Sometimes it's hard not to get involved in net drama. I recently left several e-mail lists that were big on debates and drama. I notice that it has helped me a lot not even getting involved in the friendly debates because I was getting too wrapped up in them.
