When I decided to take a hiatus from blogging, I did not realize how much I would miss it. Yep, what can I say? I missed it all. I missed logging in with my cup of coffee, missed visiting my blogging buddies, missed reading and leaving comments, missed being amused, inspired, provoked, shocked, saddened, appalled.....
OK, you get it, I missed you. Did you miss me? Or did I just disappear into the blogging black hole? Once in a while, I would find myself in someone's blog. After I have read something really interesting, I check the date and find that their last blog entry was in 2006. So, then I have to wonder, what happened to them? Why did they stop blogging? Did something big happen or did the daily grind of life just take over?
I suppose it is similar to having friends disappear from your real life world. Life is about making connections. Not just once in a while, but every day. Yet we get so overwhelmed with our lives that we don't make time for those connections, do we? I realized that that is what happens when I blog. I make connections. The other day I was at the grocery store and saw a friend. Someone I really enjoyed spending time with. Now why had I not called her? No good reason really. Inertia - that is the only reason I could find. According to the dictionary, "inertia" means " a feeling of unwillingness to do anything". Yep, that about sums it up. Ever feel like that?
As for not blogging, I blame that on inertia too. Let us hope that I get off my butt pretty soon and back into circulation. Meanwhile, enjoy these photos taken at my last art show, MayFaire. It was hot and humid, but the birds were spectacular as always. Especially loved watching the little boy feed popcorn to the birds, until the Swan started chasing him.

I missed you!! I'm usually here a couple of time a week dropping ecards, and noticed that you hadn't posted in a while. Welcome back!! There are days that I just can't seem to get motivated to do anything, I blame hormones.LOL
Love the pics!!
Hi Kala! Thank for commenting on my geese photos! Love your pics here as well. "Inertia"? hmm...and I thought it had something to do with getting older:)
Blessings,
Kim
Nice to see you back and I have missed you, although we've chatted outside of our blog worlds. :) You always have to do what feels right whatever that may be.
I have become a happy little hermit and that's okay too. I like it that way.
I can choose to come out of my little shell whenever I want to and take cover again when I see fit. That's how ti should be. Life shouldn't be "forced" it should be a natural flow of energy...
You were missed :0)
Sometimes we need to step away from things and 'recharge'...
Those are lovely pictures!
Everyone needs breaks! I got one a little while ago (though I had to get sick for it). I did wonder when a little (1) would appear next to your blog again. :)
Welcome back! I missed you, too. It's always great to read your posts.
Taking a break = Making a comeback
...nice exchange, I believe.
Seems we are so often of similar thought. In my most recent post, I used the word "inertia" to describe an inner momentum.
Though usually I am of a "out of sight/out of mind" ...I was awaiting your return.
Hi Kala... how r u? I have been absolutely busy ...both my siblings are getting married... thanks for ur comments..
Pan-inertia...yes, this was my diagnosis too; blogging, jogging, cleaning. I'm over it, all of it, back in gear, and I'm glad you are too!
I definitely missed your unique point of view and insight. Glad to hear you'll be coming back from your break soon.
I missed you, Kala! I come by your site almost every day, dropping my EC, to see what's going on. So just know that people are looking around the corner for you, too, and thinking about where you've been.
Hope the show was fun, even though the weather could have been better. I'm going on vacation for two weeks in a few days, and will be away from the computer. I wonder, will people miss me? {:-D
I missed you! I've been a little out of commission myself lately. We moved this last weekend, and that's done away with my blogging time for a bit. I hope to be back this week too! I have to say I miss it too.
