Isn’t blogging odd? Blog addicts like me blog about everything - things we think about, think up, fret over, dream about, experience, muse over and one fine day, we inevitably start thinking (almost out-of-the-blue) about the whole idea of “blogging” itself …. we realize the amount of impact it has had on our lives since we started, all the changes that have happened since, all the real and virtual friends we have made, and also all the time and energy for other things it has taken from us… We muse over it for days.. maybe weeks.. and finally, we take the brave step of deciding (and then formally announcing to the blog world) that we want to take a break from blogging itself… to get back to life as it was … before blogging… usually indefinitely … many times, the blogworld is left grieving the loss of the departure… but we know what must be done must be done..

don’t worry, I haven't gotten to that stage yet so don’t press that panic button just about yet :p... but I did chance upon Richard Cody’s blog – where he pondered the issue and mentioned another two bloggers taking “blog breaks” - Elaine of Kalilily and Stavros The WonderChicken …. I recall also dannybunny and Mary T’s brief hiatus from the blog world at certain low points of their lives… (they are back, fortunately)..

will that day come for me?… who knows….shudder… it almost seems like a natural part of the journey all bloggers will ineluctably have to go through at one point or other.. well, at least I’m still enjoying it for now…. it’s almost exactly one year since I started… :) happy blog birthday to me…
