Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!

My blogging karma, its gone. At least I thought I had it, now looking back at some of my blogs, maybe I didn't! I don't think I was so bad, I wrote some good stuff; some interesting stories, interspersed with happenings from my personal life. I don't think I was that bad.

Maybe I"m just too whiny or needy, which is it I wonder? I'm too sentimental? Too emotional? It's making me really feel invisible I guess.

Maybe I should make a confession. Yeah, I could do that! I could really do something shocking...hmmmm....I'm too boring to do that! Gee, I'm looking as if I don't value myself and I do!

Aw who gives a rat's ass...I'm doing it again, wondering why I suddenly am on the out list when my friends (if I can call some people that) don't stop by anymore. Then again, it's my fault, I don't visit as often as I used to with some people. Of course a girl does get tired of some of the one-sided friendships!

It does suck, I agree with some of the comments I've seen. Most of us seem to have lost our zeal, our muses and our following. Then again, I should speak for myself! It's like making a picture, a grand movie and it flops at the theatre! You don't realise how much a comment or two means (BlueDev, you were right!) til they stop coming, it's true if you admit it.

It's not about the points, it's about the friendship and when you get to the point where blogging have you writing an article such as this, perhaps it's time to stop. It's a thought I'm pondering, not to be begged to stay, but because there just doesn't seem to be the excitement there anymore. Even commenting seem to have become a chore when the response is nil or cryptic, what's the point?

I miss some of my favs who have moved on, I wish they would come back, spice up the place a bit! I guess blogging is much like real life, people do move on. I've written that before on another blog I'm sure!

It's become an hobby that is becoming less loved, I hate that feeling! I know I'm going to hate myself and feel very embarrassed about writing this in the morning....I'm submitting it anyway. I'm throwing it out there cause that's just who I am, no beating around the bush!

Aww that feels good, letting all that negativity go! OK, blog amongst yourselves, don't mind me!

I won't stop blogging though, not yet. Truthfully, it helps me in many ways. Perhaps I'll just leave them just for my eyes only. I do miss you though, I'm not going to lie. I need more friends and I should go out there and find them around me, yeah, I know that! But blogging is an activity we all love and the biggest part of it are the people who are here.

I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you to you who have been there with me, through exciting and boring and whiny!LOL! I'm very happy you're still reading with me a big smooch to you!

while I don't always (or even often) comment, I do always read your stuff, FS. I don't find it at all boring or whiny -- and I'm glad that you aren't going to stop blogging!

I take breaks for a few months here and there...but I always come back after a bit. Sometimes I just don't have anything to say...so I just wonder off. I get out of the loop, but it only takes me a bit to jump back in.

I still don't have any ideas for an article now that I think about it....hmm...

hey FS,

I have mostly been a hit and miss lurker. You are still one of my favorites. I haven't been able to keep up on a lot of blogs, but for sure, it wouldn't be JU without you.

Things have seemed to slow down around here a bit. I try to comment if I have something of interest to say. Sometimes I just read though. I tagged you on my five things so maybe that will make you feel like you're in with the in crowd - more likely out with the out crowd - lol. I definately go through spurts of writing and then not. I tend to be on here a lot more when my hubby is out of town.

It's everyone, FS. Most of my articles as of late get a whisper.

Honestly, I think it's a phase. It's summer. Let people settle back in in the fall and it should get back to (ahem!) normal!

I, too, read you, I've just felt too uninspired to comment most of the time.

Things have been a snooze here lately. I do miss seeing your articles, Donna. At least you've been writing - I can't even do that lately.

Donna,

If I am one of those who has not stopped by your blog as much as I used to, I apologize. I really enjoy your stuff, but I guess other things have sidetracked me from JU. I haven't been on here as much as I used to...but hopefully, that will change when I get the itch to write something or reply to stuff.


I also agree with Gideon. It seems like JU is in a rut right now...hopefully it will pick up soon.

Hey Donna,

I'm still trying to get to you but, as you are aware, being on the other side of the world often means my comments don't get noticed or I'm so late to the party, any comment I might want to make is made redundant because someone else has already made a similar comment or observation.

Just so you know, I always read everything you write even though I don't comment all the time.
on Aug 23, 2007
I almost wrote a similar article. The past couple of days I have been sorely tempted to leave. I thought I'd made my peace with JU, but.... (In other words, back to normal for me.)

Eh, I'll get over it soon enough. Here's hoping we both do, and sooner rather than later.

Gene,

It's been refreshing to see you back. I'm enjoying your work more than ever.

FYI: I should have the money to ship the dang puter next Wed.

I know Mark, it's the same for me sometimes with being too late for some blogs.

But seriously, thank you! I'm just so worried and I'm talking too much and I write a whiny blog....I haven't heard from my sisters in Jamaica and I have no clue as to how they are after the weekend's hurricane there, and my brothers who are in the country area as well....and my brother from NY has yet to returned my calls so I'm biting my finger nails!
