Sabbath Blogger

Being a full-time working gal is great. But certainly curtails the time for this pasttime as I head off for an early train and wander home in the dark even on a summer evening.

Even emails are a hurried matter early in the morning or late at night = scanning for the urgent and leaving 112 unopened in the inbox.

So do I desert the blogosphere and decide it filled but an interlude 'between jobs' (as they say)?

Or do I continue to feel anxiously guilty about my neglect of the domain and feel paralysed: unable to return with confidence to cyberfriends I neglect?

No No. (I would like to say No No No but I can't think of a third unacceptable option)

I will be a Sabbath blogger

Sunday will be my day for visiting and reflecting on my week

For some of my cyberfriends my Sunday is their Saturday - so this is Sabbath in the original and the Christian tradition

And now off to a farewell lunch for family member heading to the freezing climes of Oklahoma for a year of cultural exchange. A change from 43 degrees Celsius here last week!

Mavis, I am at this moment mulling over the very same problem. I am going to keep SW running until the holiday pics run out. Then decide what next. Thanks for popping by today.

:-) Mavis- blogging is my way of reflecting, but then I can legitimately call it work.... as Ruth said, it will be good to read what you write, and to hear from you when you can visit, but it should not be a chore...

I understand completely, especially given the traffic you seem to be getting.

For my part, I've decided on an internet fast every Sunday--my workplace and my avocation both have me on computer 6 days a week, only one of which is by choice, so I'm pulling the plug for the one day.
