I didn’t set out to post every day in July, but somehow that is what happened.
As I begin my second week of full time paid work, I need to re-balance my commitments.
I’ll continue to blog, but less frequently, perhaps more photos, fewer words. I want to continue with the weekly photo challenge and some other regular series. There are bound to be events or situations that grab my attention and demand I put fingers to keyboard. We’ll see.
I want to continue to read other blogs and to comment, to keep up my online friendships, but it might take me a few days to pick up your posts.
Blogging and social media and photo a day challenge, have all been brilliant ways to spend my time, to connect with people, to express my creative side, to learn about new places, whilst on my extended gap year. Even during the past few months of volunteering, I’ve juggled them all.
But now, I can’t leave work at lunch time because I’d rather be taking photos or writing a blog post. I have a study course to complete, which I have neglected of late. Life feels a little busy and I need to spend more leisure time being active, enjoying nature and scenery like this, less sitting indoors with a laptop.
So for now, I’ll see you a couple of times a week.
Good to have a plan. M

Will be happy to see you whenever you are able.
Balance is tricky. I seem to go in spurts. Easy to become overwhelmed with obligation, even in retirement.

We don’t have grandkids yet, but imagine that will be a whole new pleasant balancing act.

It is always good to get a balance Ruth. I’m sure you’ll be able to, occasionally, post a few beautiful photos, like the one in this post. Good luck with work.

Love that photo Ruth, where was it taken. (don’t think I even said hello to you at work today, it was just that kind of day for me)

The photo was just beyond Dunalley, a couple of weeks ago after an afternoon at Eaglehawk Neck. No worries about work, some days are just full on.

It is the best part of aging in my opinion. Seeing the world through eager fresh eyes. So many firsts to savor. 🙂

Real life intrudes, Ruth 🙂 Lovely photo, by the way. Pop by when you can. That’s all I can manage and I’m retired 🙂 Take care!

Sounds a sensible plan Ruth! I enjoy blogging very much but I also don’t want to be tied to the computer all the time as I have many other things to do! A busy week with some babysitting duties and I have only just got Friday’s weekly post out a day late! Best wishes with the life/work/blog balance 🙂
