Game of Life

I'm trying to figure out what messages Life is sending me right now, but I seem to have misplaced  my reading  glasses. It's  hard to make out the writing on that teeny piece of lint in my navel that I've been pondering tonight. But I think there are important messages on my inner Answering Machine that are garbled;  I'm not hearing the important parts through all of the static right now. Since I haven't been returning its calls, Life has (I'm speaking in mixed metaphors once again) taken to spamming me with E-mails; ringing and running; tp'ing my front yard - anything to get my attention.

I think I need to spend a little less time on my tinkering around here in cyberspace for now, and pay a little more attention to real Life, before it can think up any more ways to act out.  So I may be taking a bit of time away from here for now. Don't worry it's nothing too dramatic; it's just Life.  Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to keep my perspective and sense of humor through it all; so I can maybe make some lemonade with the lemons it's been lobbing at my car; my job; my bank account; my  head;  my backside; you name-it. I'm feeling like just one big target right now. Wearing a "kick-me" sign. I know everyone goes through these irritating times - it's not just me. I've been through worse times; you probably have, too.  I'm just not dealing with it very well right now.

Time for a time out from this game, so I can develop  a game strategy. I'm hoping a lot of it is just me being over-dramatic, and I'm just not looking at things clearly. Maybe  I just need a good night's sleep (for once!) and it will all look better in the morning; I know I can be a hissy-fitting, Drama Queen when I'm over-tired. I need to get a grip!

I'll be back as soon as I can...wish me luck. Hope to see you here soon.

oh, sweetie practically everyone I know is going through seismic shifts these days - must be something to do with the planet's alignments and Mercury in retrograde - or so my astrologer friend tells me. In any event, take care of YOU. We'll be waiting with open arms when you come back, eager to hear all about your latest news... Love to you! Tara xo

Take all the time you need. Enjoy your break and we will miss you but understand the need for some down time. Hope you get rid of that kick me sign real soon.

Hello,Haven't commented on your website before but have read it a few times. There seems to be something in the air at the moment, a lot of people seem to be collecting bad vibes and having a hard time at the moment. Perhaps, it is something to do with the configuration of planets and stars. There is a definite uneasy feeling in the air. A lot of bloggers whom I visit are having sad times with their animals, either ill or old pets having to be put down. My 2 year old cat was run over three weeks ago. I think all of us have to somehow bring some positive energy being. Time to get the smudgesticks out and open windows and let out the negative. Hope you feel more positive soon. We are strong women we will work through it. Love xx

Tinker...Absolutely know what you mean. Everyone needs to take a break from time to time. You already have such a delightful site. Have enjoyed your writing and art...it's truly charming. We are all playing this game of life...What are the rules? what the heck there are no rules...enjoy your time and listen to your heart.

I do wish you luck, and space to work out your stuff, but I will say that for me, just coming out and saying "I don't know if I can keep on keeping on here" shifted something and helped me get back on track. But lots of people seem to be needing space and breaks about now, so don't feel bad if that's what you need. We'll still be around when you get back.

I will miss you! But it is good to take time out when you need it.

And I agree, there does seem to be something in the air.

[violetismycolor]

I will certainly miss you but you must go and navel-gaze and figure life out. It's a long, drawn out process, I promise you...I am still working on it.

Sad to hear that you're feeling so low.Be encouraged to know that so many people are thinking of you and love what you've accomplished through your website here.
Will look forward to seeing you on-line again when the time is right for you.Take care of yourself.

I hope your time away - which isn't a bad idea at all, by the way - is fruitful, restful, and restores your joy and hope! Or at the very least, you'll be able to remove the 'kick me' sign! Be well, lovely tinker!

I love your positive attitude. It shows through in all you do:)
It seems most bloggers need a time out every once in a while. That makes sense as we all need to refill the well in different areas of our life.

I have been thinking about how we all keep saying that blogging is not our real life. I say it too. But I am shifting...
I think if you are honestly vested in blogging for the connections (and not a popularity contest) blogging is a lifestyle. one that can help you!!!
I wish searching for the answers was easier. Blogging does sometimes drain our time. Even when we are not posting....sometimes I don't find what I am looking for in the blogospher, but Mostly I do.
I hope when you come back to this page and your community you find a post that seems to be written just for you.
XOXO!
