A nice hot shower does me a world of good. I love standing in the hot water and having it roll off of me. There is nothing like a good night’s sleep either. I love to read and I find settling down with a good book does me a world of good. As Christmas approached I realized I needed a break from writing. Since my husband was to be home for the duration I decided to take time away from the internet. I have to admit it was the best Christmas and New Years holidays ever. Now that the holidays are behind me and my world is returning back to the normalcy I have grown used to, I find that it is time to get back to blogging.
Now that a new year has arrived I am ready to recharge my creative juices and write again. Sometimes when you become burned out on writing, you simply have to step away and take a break. I think the break did me a world of good! So Happy New Year to each and every one of you!! Let’s get the party started with another year of glimpses into the life of a trucker’s wife.
Glad you're recharged and back to blogging, Kathy! I know what you mean--I've made it one of my resolutions to blog more this year, as I really tailed off a lot last year.

ReplyDeleteHAPPY 2013!

DeleteHot baths are my final resort to recharge - it's nice just to take some time out. Looking forward to reading your blogs!
ReplyDeleteGhostnapped, thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments!!! ♥
DeleteIt used to be a nice hot bubble bath that would recharge and re-energize me, but since my daughter was born, I find it harder and harder to find the time to do that. Reading a good book always seems to help, as does a cup of hot tea. Looking forward to reading your posts! Glad you had such wonderful holidays!
ReplyDeleteTasha, I have found since I had kids that hot luxurious baths just aren't in the cards. LOL I love to read and always have. There is nothing better than relaxing with a good book. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI love a hot shower, but what helps me is a day at the beach or just being out in nature.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering my giveaway. I just love your creative space here.
I just love following great writers!
Now following you from Georgia!
Alma, I wish I lived closer to a beach because I am sure I would be there all the time. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOoh, a nice hot shower sounds just marvelous right now. I'm shivering and all bundled up as I type this, complete with fingerless gloves that I practically live in right now. The house we're renting is drafty and c-c-c-cold. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd you're so right. Sometimes a break, even when it's something we love to do, is just the thing to recharge.
Jerimi, I know what you mean! My house is cold too. It makes me want to crawl back into bed to get warm. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments! ♥
DeleteHappy New Year and I'm glad you took some time off! We seem to have all taken a bit of a break and mine is over now, too. I am happy to be back and very happy to see u back!
ReplyDeleteJo, happy to see you too. The break was nice but it has been difficult to get back into the swing of things. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteIt's important to take a break. The not doing is just as important as the doing.
ReplyDeleteHere's to some great writing (and much energy) in 2013.
