Since I've quit blogging, I'm finding it difficult to get around and comment at blogs.

I'm writing this post to tell everyone if you happen by that I am sorry I've abandoned you all. I really thought I'd still be around to read and comment at your blogs. I fess up to it - I'm not following through.

I do occasionally get by but it feels so much like an obligation at times to leave a comment and to try to keep up. Sometimes I get by to read, and even though I still care about the people writing the blog, I can barely muster up the time and energy it takes to comment. My point is I still care about the people I've encountered through this medium of blogging. It is just that I'm weary of the medium of blogging. It is the process of blogging that I'm finding it hard to care about doing. The people I care about and so it's quite a dilemma because the only way really to say I care about you is to participate in the process of blogging.

Maybe I have a blog depression.

I'm just sort of sick of going to read and walking away feeling so cluttered. Yes, it's making my mind too overwhelmed. All that information about other people and their lives. Even when it seems really personal at times my experience is that is all feels so unreal because it lacks all the human connection of touch and tone of voice. There are too many books recommended or too many creative ideas to try.

There are some blogs I used to enjoy for the writing and the topics but lately I cannot stand the sales pitches. It seems more and more what used to be a nice conversation is now becoming more of what we are already bombarded with every day - the message that you aren't good enough- but if you buy my product then you'll be better than ever...........beyond your wildest dreams good enough!

I don't begrudge anyone making a living. More power to you if you can do it from home while sitting on your sofa. I am just feeling overwhelmed by this medium right now. I used to feel inspired when I surfed the internet now I feel scattered and crazed!!!!!

So I make my apologies to all of you bloggers out there who I made a connection with on this journey. I'm sorry for not visiting often enough or commenting enough. I feel like the medium is flawed and I'm off to search out more in person contact....... creative blessings to all.....and if you want to comment.....sorry I'm turning them off....but those of you who would comment probably already know my email so drop me a line there if you have something to say.
