Snatched from my Inbox – a text message from cousin Bernie:
Practice the pause…
When in doubt, practice the pause.
When angry, practice the pause.
When tired, practice the pause.
When stressed, practice the pause.
Breathe…
Clear the mind…
View from a different perspective…
Smile…
Laugh…
Sleep…
Dream…
Even your heart needs rest.
I have been into frequent pauses in updating my blog. There comes a time in our lives that things become so taxing; and even the cakes and ales can become so boring. That is why I did not promise myself to write one blog post each day. I know I will not be true to my promise. Monotony can consume the entirety of it all. So pause I did.
I don’t want to stop. Blogging, is what I mean. Somehow it has become a therapy. But during times that work and house chores become toxic, I pause with no further ado. The negative emotions from being dead-tired, stressed, depressed, et al, will surely manifest.
So, if this blog has no updates for quite sometime again in the future, I am only taking a pause. “Will be back shortly” – wish I can create a blinking badge with that phrase.

I know what you mean Bingskee ! I love blogging so lych but then if it will become toxic, I stop, reflect and organize myself 🙂 ! Anyway, friends will understand if there will be no updates…that means something is keeping you busy !

It’s okay, Bing. We should not regard blogging as a task, otherwise, we won’t have fun anymore. Do take pauses when needed be. 🙂

I do exercise pausing myself. Better safe than sorry. I might say things I might regret later on.
and yes, I have not blogging as often as I used to because of work. Too bad for writing and bloghopping has been a habit of mine.

We need a break from things from time to time. I think it’s healthy.
As for me, I’m on “indefinite leave” from blogging due to health reasons. 🙂

hi,jayred. would that mean i would not be reading updates for a longer time? i would miss reading your chronicles. but health is more important. as rhodora had said, blogging should not be taken as a task. i just hope you’d be well the soonest possible time to relate your adventures (and misadventures :- D ) again. my prayers for you, jayred. 🙂
