Feeling a bit tired
I am going to take a bit of a hiatus from blogging. I will probably post on 22 or 26 January (mother's birth and death dates, respectively) as well as 18 February (my birthday).
Until then:

I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail. I strongly encourage you not to forward it either.

I know what you mean. It's a good time to take a break.
I have you on my RSS feed so I'll know when you post again.
Go rest and refresh.
See you later.
Very Sincerely,

I thought I am the only one not bloggng for a long while due to may workload. But it seems that many of my blogging friends have also stopped blogging. *sigh* I will miss them.
However, I will still blog about my devotion when I can.
Philippians 3:
13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Cheers!
Are you taking a break from reading too, or just writing?
ingrid: I am not sure it is for pleasure, more for rest. A chance to refocus.
breal: I hope it refreshes me too. Thanks.
bee: you have probably noticed my blogging the past few months (since Summer), has had slowdowns, as have my visits and frequency of comments on other blogs. I think it is time for a little break. Sofia says I can be quite mercurial, so maybe I will be back in a week's time.
travis: thanks. I wasn't even aware that you were a regular reader. I know you visit from time to time. As the video says, I will be back (maybe I should have taken a clip of Arnold from The Terminator).
barbara: there is no guilt. I just want people to know that this is a deliberate stoppage and not that I have faded away (much as I have when going on an extended holiday). People blog at different rates. Some daily. Some multiple times per day. Others are infrequent. I tried for roughly daily (though, I seem to average something more along the lines of once every 3 days).
My reading slowed down significantly about 2 months ago. At the moment, I am reading The Road and The Opposite of Fate. Last week I finished Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar, and last night I read through two books on digital photography (one of them was quite good and addressed a number of things I have observed while taking pictures and scanning images).
I still intend to visit blogs, though it will be more in a lurking capacity. I will still comment, though not as frequently as before.
No idea when I will return - probably a few weeks.
you and b are in hiatus moments.
just take your time and waiting here for your come back...
Why did you stop blogging? Just want to know, if you don't mind. Nice meeting you :D

acey: thanks. I am fine. Just tired. Need a break. That doesn’t mean I won’t visit other blogs, but I might choose to lurk instead of comment.
ancilla: I didn’t notice breal had gone fishing too. I guess I need to visit more blogs.
hye: thanks for dropping by, hye (he he). I haven’t stopped blogging – just taking a break. As the title says: "I’m feeling a bit tired."
For the extra curious: I am enjoying the lull (although, the past few days I’ve been visiting other blogs).
I am tentatively working with a return date of 04-February-2008 – though nothing is set in stone (who knows, I may continue to be "tired").
Hmmm ... maybe I should make blogging my Lenten penance ...
By the way, Congratulations for being a Certified Honest Blogger. Receive your award at Space of Reality.
Take care!!!

Thought I would stop by and visit your blog. I see you are taking a break from blogging. Well, I will subscribe to your blog.
Take care,
have a grand vacation. don't worry, we do understand :)
I wish you a good brake and welcome you back when you find the time!
I hope you enjoy your time off. I totally know what you mean about needing a break. We'll all be here when you get back.
Take care...
Freckled
But I am back and I am sure you will. The friends we made here - they are too valuable for words.
And knowing you are there - always brings me back to my blog. Always.
Rest well Richard. I will see you soon. :)
