It will only be a break!

Birthday flowers from DH Karl

My husband said, I could not leave you like that, and he is right of course. I want to thank you all for your Birthday wishes and comments you left on my last post! They are heartwarming, and very much appreciated!


My decision to take a break from blogging was a right one for me, necessary and important, but I already know that I will be back next year! So, my friends, lets not say goodbye, but rather, see you later! :o)



And apropos nothing, look what I saw in the Supermarket: Disney's new character is a White German Shepherd puppy called BOLT!

He reminded me of Sam. :o)

Then I'll see you again next year *hugs*
I guess we all need a break some times.

Bolt looks like a cutie.

Glad it's just a break :) Sometimes a change does us all good. I know I should take a break from being on the computer too much....would get more things accomplished.
hugs :)

That's much better. We're hooked and you can rest assured, we'll meet on Ravelry and perhaps one day in reality. Who knows?!

Look forward to seeing you back in the new year!

Hug!

Glad to hear it! But I totally understand about needing a blogging break! Gives you more time for life!

I'll see you later then. Sounds so much better than good bye. I bet the animators for Bolt saw pictures of Sam on your blog. ;-)

I'm a frequent lurker and rare commenter (this may be my first!) If you need a break, by all means do what you need to do. We'll miss you and look forward to seeing you back!

Liebe Monika,
jetzt war ich aber eben geschockt. Habe mal wieder etwa eine Woche nicht nach Dir geschaut und nun sowas!

Erstmal wünsche ich Dir noch alles erdenklich Gute zu deinem Geburtstag nachträglich. Mögen sich alle Deine Wünsche und Hoffnungen erfüllen.

Und nun zu Deiner Blog-Pause: Ich kann gut verstehen, dass Du mal eine brauchst. Ich kenne wohl kaum einen Blog wie Deinen, bei dem man gewiß sein kann, dass mindestens alle zwei Tage ein neuer Post kommt. Bei Dir war das jetzt ganz schön lange so, immer mit einem neuen Projekt, mit schönen Bildern und Geschichten über Deinen Alltag, über Eure Hunde usw. Irgendwann ist man dann sicherlich auch mal leer.

Nimm Dir die Zeit, die Du brauchst und finde Deine Mitte. Ich hatte sowieso schon den Eindruck, dass Dich Dein Trip back to the roots mehr beschäftigt hat, als Du vorher hast ahnen können, nicht wahr?
Also nimm Dir die Zeit aber bitte komm wieder. Ich kann mir Blogland ohne Dich nicht vorstellen - die Lücke wäre zu groß!

Ich wünsche Dir alles erdenklich Gute und eine schöne Advents- und Weihnachtszeit, komm gut ins neue Jahr, bis bald, alles Liebe
Susanne

See ya around Ravelry.
I'll be looking forward to your return. You didn't know so many people cared about you and your blog, did you!

Take care
Yvonne

Marissa said...

Geesh, I step away for a few days, and come back for a shock! Firstly, Happy Birthday to you!! Second, by all means take a break, but know I will be following you around Ravelry as Sam must do at home!I make no apologies for it, either...you are one of my heroes. Take care of you!
Hugs,
Marissa

I've fallen behind on my blog reading and even further behind on blog posting, but wanted you to know I hope you had a great birthday! I'll miss seeing your regular posts but can understand about needing a break. Take care!

Ann said...

All of us need a break sometimes - I am taking mine at the end of the year as I will be away in Singapore & Malaysia for 4 weeks. Have a good break !

T-Mom said...

I'll miss your blog, Monika, and will be glad to "see" you next year. Hugs to Sam and Biko.

Dear Monika--

I don't think humor can rub off via the Internet. But if you keep reading my blog, maybe it will :)

Thanks for the compliments on my fish bag!
