I think I’m going to have to just hang up the “Gone Fishing” sign for a while. I’m off to hike for a week on the Appalachian Trail, along with a few days on either end visiting with friends.
If you’d like something new from me each day, go to my NOLA Nature blog, where beginning tomorrow I’ll have “guest images” from my Appalachian Trail thru hike in 2009. One new one will come up each day and you can wonder if I’m viewing something similar in real time!
I need a break from the computer. I’ve been letting the light above my email box that shows I have a new message dictate my days far too much. I need a giant “reset” of how I’m spending my free time. Now that I have a lot of it, it doesn’t make sense to spend so much of it reading and replying to and posting blog entries – even if all of you posting out there are completely amazing and fascinating!
So I’m officially taking a blog-cation. I’ll miss you all but I’m really looking forward to just being outside. Happy start to the summer (or winter if you’re Down Under!) I’ll be back on June 7. In the meantime, you can read everything about my entire Appalachian Trail trip in 2009 on my AT blog here, if you just need something to do! If you want to really see what it was like, go to the archives and read it in order as the posts were written, rather than from most recent to oldest.
Have fun. A big dose of the outdoors should recharge you
Thanks so much!
Enjoy! See you in June!

Enjoy yourself! I think I can relate, though in a different way — I’m finding myself lagging lately in the blogosphere. Daily posts require time and thought. Have fun outside and recharge.
Thanks! Seems like things are picking up for you in blog-land!
Enjoy yourself! Blogging is fun but being outdoors and enjoying life is awesome! Cheers-
Thanks so much! And soon I’m going to get to that Versatile Blogger award – I promise!
Hey Carla, take it easy.
You will do that post when you get to it. Not a rush and I don’t think there’s an expiration date. It took me nearly a month to do it, so no worries at all. Glad you enjoyed some time away. Cheers!
Thanks! I need to spend a nice chunk of time on the computer and get organized and make a bit of a plan for this post!
Enjoy your time away!
Thanks!
Sometimes a re-charge and a vacation are exactly what is called for. Enjoy yourself, re-discover some balance, and don’t worry about us – we’ll be here when you get back.
Yes – exactly! Thanks, Stef!
Have a great Blog-cation. I never felt like I needed one until I kept posting every day. Then when I took several days off in a row, it was nice to discover I enjoyed the break and still feel like blogging. I just don’t worry so much now if it’s not every night. Life is busy. I hope you are having a wonderful time on the AT.
Thank you! The blog-cation was wonderful. I think I might need another one – I feel like I have a blog-diction! And I need some blog-rehab or something. Still too much screen time in my life – I have a lot of thinking to do about that!
Hope you had/are having a blast on the AT – jealous! Jealous!!
That has got to be the ultimate place to recharge your batteries…
It is a very special place to me. I have a feeling I’ll be going back for short visits for the rest of my life. And maybe I’ll do another thru hike when I’m 80 or so!
