I've been AWOL for a while, for various reasons. When I checked the date of my last post I was surprised to see it was Christmas Eve. A WHOLE MONTH, wow! Anyway I've noticed things are different in the land.
Yes I know people come and people go. This brings to mind the Bob Dylan song Times they are a changin'.
Where is everyone hiding? Are we all just running out of things to write about or not willing to share?
When I see someone who I've been friends with in the land disappear it makes me worry that something might be wrong with them. You all feel like part of my family as I've known you for around five years now.
Are you all alright?
Still recovering from a hectic Christmas/New Year period?
Just run out of ideas to post about?
Or like me no action happening at moment? Which is totally driving me crazy.
Hi Lindy,
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to see you pop up in my blogger dashboard:) I too worry about blog friends when they disappear from the land for a bit.
It's been a hectic time here too as I worked straight through the Christmas break this year plus a family wedding with another one this coming weekend and taking care of Dad for a couple of days when he had eye surgery.
Sorry about the lack of action and hope all is otherwise well and that you are surviving the heat wave over there.
Hugs
Roz
Thanks Roz, boy you have been very busy. It was really hard to take the heat this week, well over 40c. How's your weather been?
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Lindy -- I remember a while back a friend disappearing POOF from Blogland it is unnerving. Back then I remember thinking if I ever stop writing on The Journey I will at the very least post a "I'm not dead just not posting right now" sort of post :)
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the temps over there and feeling a bit jealous -- we've been way below 0 -- so cold that the school buses didn't run for 4 straight days
Glad to see you back :)
Thank you Morningstar. I know it is hard when a friend disappears into thin air in the land. Great idea for your post if you take a break.
DeleteWill gladly send you some of our hot weather. Well usually where I live its mild compared to the rest of Australia. Last week though, oh my it was a scorcher. My poor kids have been suffering with around 40s everyday where they live. This is where we are grateful for our move to cooler climes.
Hugs Lindy xx
Welcome back Lindy. Weather has a lot to do with how we feel .I appreciate that its hard to post when its so hot over there. Its freezing over here so I have been posting in my blog quite a lot!
ReplyDeleteThank you Glenmore. I think I will bundle some of our heat up and post it to you. LOL! It has been stinking hot here, really hard to take.
DeleteGood if the colder weather is helping you to blog more.
Hugs Lindy xx
I know you're not talking about me because we see each other on FB. Maybe, like me, they just tired of the routine, or also like me had nothing to say. Things have changed lots and so many new names and not many of the old ones - it's fluid
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fluid, try to stay cool. Im not looking forward to summer if that is what we can expect this year.
Thank you Sunny. Yes must remember to stay hydrated. I do see you a lot in fb and appreciate our friendship. Keep an eye out for the challenge I have for you in the next few days. LOL!
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy,
ReplyDeleteI have missed you lots. I kind of disappeared for a while myself and finally feel I have the time to visit you all and write a post once in a while. TTWD doesn't stop, but life intrudes in good ways and bad.
I am already dreaming of summer. That usually means I start wearing my sandals around the house in anticipation!
Give your dear Bear a hug, too!
Ella
Thank you Ella. I have missed you and all the others too. TTWD has taken a holiday here, never mind it will come back to us again soon.
DeleteI can just imagine you wearing your sandals in winter. LOL! Will send you some of our 40c+ to enjoy to warm you up.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy, Still hanging in there...just! Yes, when it is hot (46.6C, 115.8F last Thursday) spanking is the last thing on our minds. Happy Oz Day to you and the Bear
ReplyDeleteThank you Don. Happy Australia Day to you both. Its been stinking hot this year, even for our little town. The sea breeze isn't cutting it.
DeleteHopefully it cools down slightly for you soon. Maybe we need to visit our friends OS in their cooler climes.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hello Lindy. I haven’t posted since before Christmas either. Ttwd is still alive in the Joneses’ residence but there’s nothing interesting enough to blog about.
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I hate snow, could we swap a bit of weather? You’re sweltering in the heat and we have more of the nasty white stuff on the way this week.
I’ve enjoyed your toy theme train on Fb, such fun.
Rosie xx
Thank you Rosie. Yes please pack me a huge box full of your nasty stuff, I'd love that. I'll bottle some of our 40c+ weather to thaw you out.
DeleteI'm really enjoying doing the toys on tour. Hopefully next month will be another fun theme.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi, Miss Lindy Lou,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you post. I always love hearing what you and the Bear are up to. I guess I would say that my absence is due to sheer busyness and holidays and illness. Oh, and lack of muse. Glad you're back.
--Baker
Thanks Baker. I know it sucks the way you seem to have one illness after another. Not fair! Hopefully you will be on the mend soon.
DeleteSee you are back posting too. Yay!
Hugs Lindy xx
It is sad to see folks leave without a good bye, Lindy, however I understand ... as a 'vanilla world' blogger, who did exactly that, sometimes life circumstances get in the way as do the feelings that you no longer have anything to to add to the conversatio ... and once you've left it is even harder to get back into the swing of posting. However that's not to say not old bloggers will nver come back ... if their blogs are still there there is hope :)). Plus maybe they are still listening and lurking :)) My old blog is still up ... I might get back to it one day :))
ReplyDeleteI also struggle here sometimes with my ttwd blog, trying to come up with posts that are interesting ... hence the regularity of my ttwd posts have declined as well. However, it is still a great community to belong to ... no matter the frequency of posting or the subject matter ... nj
Very wise words NJ. I must admit I had a vanilla blog years ago which I disappeared from without a word. I'd love to go back to it now but forgotten my password. LOL!
DeleteHopefully old bloggers are lurking and pop in every now and again to say Hi.
I too am struggling posting as at the moment we aren't really practicing TTWD. Hopefully it will find its way back to us again soon. I don't like to bore people with my day to day stuff.
I do love reading your posts. Very interesting.
Hugs Lindy xx
Well I have been AWOL long enough but it seems like there are a lot of people missing. I hope that everyone is okay. My life was just a bit more overwhelming then I could handle but I am going to try harder. I really miss my friends. Nice to hear from you.Hope you get some kind of action soon. Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Blondie. It is hard when our lives become overwhelming. Hope yours has settled down now. Missed you also.
DeleteThink it will be a while before I see any action, but who knows.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi, Lindy, so good to see you again. :) I've been around, but was gone for so long before then, it feels funny to be back in some ways. :) But I do notice my blogroll has less and less postings going on. I know life does happen, and we can't always keep up. I had two years where I barely posted, and am so glad to be back at it again, and I can only hope that others come back if they're ready as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, EsMay
Thanks EsMay. Yes life does get in the way sometimes. I am so glad you're back. Although I probably don't visit all the time, I do love reading your posts.
DeleteI totally agree, I hope others pop back again when and if they can.
Hugs Lindy xx
Nice to see you Lindy. I am no longer writing posts. It just isn't something I am interesting in doing anymore. I started blogging in 2012- there is only so much one can write about. LOL. Our dynamic has changed so much- not too many that may be able to relate I suppose. Thing is I used to write to process things and our adventure. I don't need to do that anymore- hence nothing to write about. I still read now and again though.
ReplyDeleteHope 2019 finds your health improving greatly ( enjoy the heat- because I woke up this morning to -33 C with the windchill and 20 cm on the horizon. LOL)
Willie
Oh my goodness Willie -33c, I CANNOT even imagine how cold that must feel. Our heat in my part has taken a holiday thank goodness. Where my kids live its still way over 30c+. Another reason why we like our current area.
DeleteYeah I guess we all run out of things to write about after a while. That is still sad though that you are no longer posting. Good thing you pop in every now and again to read. You're always welcome here.
Hope you find some warmth before too long.
Hugs Lindy. xx
Hi Lindy, :) I am one of those bloggers that has been on again, off again. Life gets in the way. I am trying to keep up with it all in 2019, and was doing pretty well. Travel got me off kilter again... Here's hoping...!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it always makes me happy to see people pop up when they have been away for a time. I think that most people feel that way. It's a given that everyone does what they can, I am guessing. I do miss some of the regular bloggers of the past. I hope that all is well with them. Nice to see you here!❤️ Many hugs,
❤️Katie xoxo
Katie I can understand your absence at the moment as you are busy busy busy. Hope all is going well with the planning.
DeleteIt is nice to see friends pop in every now and again. I do worry about them when they are absent.
Take care.
Hugs Lindy xx
Life ebbs and flows. I have had many acquaintances vanish over the years and it does alway make me wonder. I imagine for most it was a combination of finding the time to write and not being sure what to write. But many of my friends out here are still my friends even once there blogs are long gone. I suppose we'll all wander away at some point, even me.
ReplyDeleteVery true PK maybe we all run out of material to write about. Sometimes its hard to stay on point. I'm hoping I've made life long friends through here even if others are not posting.
DeleteKeep you eye out for your challenge coming up really soon. LOL!
Hugs Lindy xx
Lindy, good to see you. I hate it when a blogger just disappears, it always worries me, but life happens and you have to priorities and sometimes blogging just has to go on a back burner.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had some of your heat.
Love,
Ronnie
xx
Ronnie, I will gladly send you some of our heat. Five year records have been broken this summer. Feels like we are going to combust sometimes. Hope your weather improves and you find some warmth soon
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
So good to see you here. I too think of friends here like family. Sending hugs :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Terps.
