Before we went away I had a list of doom a mile long, and by the time we got on the plane I was a stressed out bundle of anxiety. Lists do that to me.

But despite all of this I long for a slower pace and a simpler life. I know realise that I had this when my children were small, and I wish I had appreciated it so much more!<br /><br />HMiss Mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250964246790523866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-41020985471956405292011-11-01T20:32:14.572+11:002011-11-01T20:32:14.572+11:00What a lot of interesting comments!

I feel a bit the same as you in that I wonder about the relevance of blogging in my life at times. Probably the main reason I blog is as a record of our family life and my thoughts, oh and photo's which I love to take and share. I'm hopeless at keeping up with others but I do make an effort once a week to visit my blog friends & say hi. By the way I love Susannah's name, I had wanted to call Rosie, Susannah, but she was really a Rosie instead. And how lovely to see a Dandelion bunny in her sweet arms! Made me smile.Take care and hopefully we'll see you soon xoBeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223830744313086743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-24070247801021693922011-11-01T18:23:55.403+11:002011-11-01T18:23:55.403+11:00whatever works for you love. i enjoy the few crumb...whatever works for you love. i enjoy the few crumbs you scatter for us!<br /><br />...and i totally get slow. i'm the master of it. it's challenging in this busy world surrounded by busy people to be true to my slow self, but i do!<br /><br />xotea with lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189192073489440981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-32016736912568294292011-11-01T13:30:09.274+11:002011-11-01T13:30:09.274+11:00I have a lot to learn from your perspectives and t...I have a lot to learn from your perspectives and thoughts, Gina - thank you!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117014438588991872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-87569982023343385742011-10-31T20:54:02.218+11:002011-10-31T20:54:02.218+11:00It is lovely to see you back here Gina, but I tota...It is lovely to see you back here Gina, but I totally get what you're saying. I think when we first start blogging there's this imperative in our minds of 'I must post' and we set up this momentum without even realising it. I'm a big fan of taking things slowly and love it that I'm not the only one! ;) The photos of Susannah are just gorgeous :) KxKyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048371258743968255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-51230586806443853882011-10-31T00:00:47.316+11:002011-10-31T00:00:47.316+11:00Hello, Sweetheart!

I tried to do Blogtoberfest, but I've lost my blog "voice". It's been too hard trying to force posts out of my not very creative month, and I've got too much other stuff going on that isn't bloggable.<br /><br />I'm glad your life is full and happy, and that your relationships are well-fed. I'm going to read the idle parenting thing you linked to. I seem to have lost nearly all my idle parenting hours now that I'm working three days a week and have Jack's speech therapy and whatnot on the other two weekdays. But we are happy, indeed we are!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257294267302489273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-1264224941087996972011-10-30T20:39:03.583+11:002011-10-30T20:39:03.583+11:00I've really only started to read your blog - a...I've really only started to read your blog - and have been wondering where you've been since 'angry spoons'. It's good to see you post again and to know that you are alright. I think blogging can end up being 'work' and if it gets to that stage, I think it may well be time to call it a day. After all, a blog is (when it first started anyway) and web log - a journal of sorts for the person writing it, not for everyone else. I've started by looking at mine as such - a journal chronicling the life and times of our family - a place where I can put those digital photos I've taken (and never print out anyway) so in years to come I can look back and discover where we've been.Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-25111515043931389292011-10-30T19:44:32.508+11:002011-10-30T19:44:32.508+11:00So good to see a post from you Gina, I know I will...So good to see a post from you Gina, I know I will miss your posts if you stop altogether but I can totally understand where you're coming from.<br /><br />I took a break from blogging before blogtoberfest & while there was relief at first a week hadn't passed before I was itching to get back to it, but I think that is more to do with the fact that I DO use is so much to connect with others since I don't have a network of my own here; if you don't miss it, don't fret, just go with the (slow) flow & enjoy. xx<br /><br />Oh, and I've taken to (since yesterday) leaving word verification definitions when I comment, which may or may not amuse you, here's yours:<br /><br />Comatie: First coined in 1871 when a starving artist was hit by a bus while crossing the road, comatie refers to the persistent unconscious state of a creative person after trauma or injury.Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036114016276478304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-22242237415051227662011-10-30T19:39:28.150+11:002011-10-30T19:39:28.150+11:00Hello Gina, I enjoy reading your blog from time to...Hello Gina, I enjoy reading your blog from time to time and very much relate to what you are saying about where blogging fits in the scheme of life and relationships. I tend to have blog lulls and ebbs and for a while I wondered if it was worth the effort but I'm quite glad for the connections with nice people that I have made though this strange virtual social space. I hope you don't stop blogging but slowing down when we need to is certainly important - blogland is not going anywhere, it's always there to come back to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334753999334277165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-3852884989791390322011-10-30T19:37:49.682+11:002011-10-30T19:37:49.682+11:00Lovely Susannah in her little bonnet.

It has lots of nice sides but I'm not sure if the scene isn't just too unreal for me. I have many friends of all ages who I barely have the energy to spend time with outside of Bible meetings. I'm beginning to see that I don't need the mostly false ego lift given by reading comments. I am learning that my fundamental way of viewing life is not aligned with the views of so many others. Having said that I would still like to keep a record of my creativity and I also continue to enjoy reading about others work and relevant experiences. CherrieI like how you are going along with your slow way of life. It truly is beneficial for your children to have such a secure base in their lives.

I give myself a break these days and not have high expectations of myself anymore. I couldn't possibly invest all the time I want into replying to all the posts of bloggers I love reading.I've learnt that it shouldn't be all or nothing. I give what I can to the blog and that's as complicated it gets for me...<br /><br />At the risk of stating the obvious, Susannah is gorgeous.Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272874599732564999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-3190809622320227282011-10-30T19:17:34.024+11:002011-10-30T19:17:34.024+11:00Hello there!

I stopped blogging for a year to do exactly that, and only just started posting again a week or two ago. Im quickly finding myself sucked back into the vortex of blogland and spending far too much time reading blogs. Even though those blogs are about lovely things like nutricious food, sewing and sustainable living... its still too much screen time for my liking. Somehow I have to find the balance. Tell me when you work it out so I can copy. ;-)<br />Love<br />D<br />xDebhttp://www.treasurehuntergirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-59605226368429555142011-10-30T19:05:17.975+11:002011-10-30T19:05:17.975+11:00oh right. so now i look at the link and see it'...oh right. so now i look at the link and see it's tom hodgkinson. ha. there you goIsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832218711696290393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-47992872262493211092011-10-30T19:03:13.202+11:002011-10-30T19:03:13.202+11:00well, i love reading all of your posts, even thoug...well, i love reading all of your posts, even though i cannot relate to much that goes on in your life except making. i hope you don't stop blogging. i went through a similar stage recently, but i'm back at it and enjoying. it is a funny thing this blogging though.<br /><br />i recently went to visit my brother, sister in law and their kids. i didn't plan to do anything the whole holiday. and i soon found out they as a family pretty much do nothing. well nothing much anyway. and i found that very refreshing. i really need to be more idle!<br /><br />have you read Tom Hodgekinson? he is great! his book how to be free is great, but you sound like you've already got it all worked out :)<br /><br />and you answered a question i've been wondering lately. my life goes too fast. if i were to do less would it slow down.... sounds like that's a yes!!! thanks and so glad to hear life is good xIsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832218711696290393noreply@blogger.com
