Gimme A Break

Hello everyone...

I am going to take a break from journals for a while.  I have turned off my alerts, too.  This year didn't start off as well as I hoped it would, and I need to just 'be' for a while.

It also seems silly with the computer acting up to keep getting alerts that I can't keep up with at this time. 

I welcome emails though, and will try to stay on top of those as best I can.

Stay safe and happy, and please email me if you think there is something I need to know about in someone's life.

be well,
Dawn

Sorry to hear you'll be gone for a while, Dawn, but hope it helps to put your year on a better footing. Hope it also gives you an opportunity to sort out the PC.

See you soon,
Guido

All your 'lerts are belong to us!!!

Now, enjoy the break.  I'd recommend golf to help you relax, but that doesn't help one damn bit.  So, play some pinball...  down at the bar...  The bar where the Jersey mobsters hang out.  

You'll thank me later.

I'm sorry you're feeling the need to take a break, but that's okay.  I hope that you get the rest you need.  We all need a break once in a while from journaling, I think.  Please take care!

Aww Dawn...I do understand, I've taken a break myself but I let a year go by before I came back. I hope your break is not as long as mine. (selfish I know) Anyhoo, be well my friend and I will be stopping in to check in on you.

I'm a very strong proponent of "collapsing in a heap" for awhile when needed.  Stay as long as you need to I say, and return all the better for it.  xo CATHY

Dawn, I know this has been a rough one for you.  I hope you can get some much needed relief and peace.  I've had no internet connection this whole past week and was ready to pack it in.  Sending you hug and prayers....Chris
