I think I have been blogging for getting on for ten years, I am rubbish at it but it amuses me or rather it did. In the last several months I have found it increasingly hard to motivate myself to generate new content. I started out blogging to pit myself against google, a mate of mine had created a website and I was amused by my ability to get his site into the top search engine rankings but times have “a changed” to miss quote Bob Dylan. No doubt I will miss it but I have 90 days before it is gone for good, get behind me temptation.!!!
Please don’t stop… me and Frazer love your blogs, and he loves it when you post him a marrow bone.
Ive not felt well this week, very tired and weak so i know what you mean about lack of motivation ive been falling lots more. Its scary ive not felt i could get back up, even arms weak, double vision terrible, head feels weird and needed help to dress and shower i hope its just a blip and I feel better tomorrow.
Oh Don, please don’t stop blogging. I know I’ve been off the grid for a while but I’ve enjoyed all of your blogs I’ve read. You’re a good writer. I suppose I should understand if you’ve lost interest but I’m sure I’m not the only one to get pleasure from them. Hope you’re keeping well.
Don. I understand if you are feeling a bit down. Take a break But. You are a great writer. It gives a lot of people pleasure to read your blogs. It is yr choice though. Anne X
sorry you have not been so well, hope you feel better soon. Perhaps with all the rushing about for Christmas has taken its toll, try to rest when you can, I appreciate that’s difficult with a family, but don’t over do it.
I don’t blog too frequently and I find it helps me blow off a little steam. I don’t blog if I don’t have anything interesting to say, so hopefully that makes them more interesting to read, I hope I don’t want to go thru the motions just because I feel obliged to.
Don’t give in, just blog when you fancy (or need) it
See Don, you have a big fan club , not that we are trying to put you under any pressure as the others have said just blog when you feel up to it. Love Michelle and Frazer xx
Don, as a compulsive blogger, I think you need a rest. Don’t always feel the need to blog every time you cough and break wind. I usually go with a notion I have that keeps rolling through my mind when I wake up; you know those thinking moments whe you’re putting off getting up to face the world.
I love to read your blogs, both Don and Steve. It make it feel like your communicating with someone who knows… I like a bit of creative writing when the mood takes me, but wouldn’t have a clue where to start or how to do a blog!
Thanks Pam and Don, I’ll try not to overdo things, ive been so stressed but not because of Christmas. Molly’s not been coping she’s Autistic, she is at a special needs school and they are putting in some extra support. We don’t celebrate Christmas I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The children don’t miss out we always make our Wedding Anniversary in October a special time for them.
sorry to hear things are tough for you just now Michelle,hope things improve and you feel better soon it will be the stress of Molly not coping.i am having a tough time of it with my liitle grandaughter nor coping with her autism shes just latley been getting very aggressive and lashing out at her mum,who doesnt’t know how to handle it, i am so upset over it,needless to say my ms is playing up.
Aww Thank you Jackie, Iv’e felt so down over it, its combination of her autism and hormones, shes always been a handful but shes so lovable and i hate to see her in distress but its difficult to handle, like you said over your granddaughter sometimes Molly can present with bad behaviour shes not a naughty girl but its the frustration inside her. Its a good job we love them. Its funny how the stress of it affects our illness, I think emotional exhaustion is the worst kind, yesterday i couldn’t stand up and i felt awful, today i feel a bit better but not great. Thanks for your kind words, your daughter and granddaughter are so lucky to have you.
I love reading your blogs too Don, I hope you don’t stop permanently. I enjoy the virtual trips out and about in margate… bacon butties too - although it’s got to be a bacon roll for me man but that’s a discussion for another day… x
Hey Don, don’t stop bringing me my regular doses of life in wonderful east Kent. Maybe give it a rest and then gently ease yourself back in. I look forward to your stories (and to Steve’s) and would miss them.
I do my blog just once or twice a month. I have ideas and let them brew then pick the best one to run with. (Maybe I’m just lazy!)
