Do you feel guilty when you've neglected your blog for several days? I do. I feel as if I'm reneging on a promise I made to myself, although there never was actually any such promise.
Sometimes I get in a mood where I don't feel like talking, and that mood apparently carries over to writing, too. To be more specific, sometimes it feels as if communicating by any method whatsoever takes more energy than I have available, and the best thing I can do at those times is plop myself down in a quiet spot, plug myself in to one mindless activity or another, and let my batteries recharge.
So, because I'm feeling guilty, and because I haven't recharged enough to write (or even enough to power a pocket flashlight), I'm taking the easy way out with a meme.
I don't remember what this one's called or where I found it. The only rule is that all answers have to be exactly three words long. I won't tag anyone (which would require too much thinking), but help yourself if you like it--or if you have guilt issues of your own to assuage.

Glad you feel like visiting across the fence once in awhile as we miss hearing what you have to say...but sometimes our say sort of runs down like a battery. Sis 3
ReplyDeleteThat's how we know we're introverts, when recharging requires quiet, peaceful, nothingness. I've been the same way lately, just too drained to talk or write.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun - getting to learn a little about each other!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to save this one - I may be too chatty to do it properly though!
ReplyDeleteI did read cane River, on your recommendation. Excellent, thank you. Also recently saw Mississippi Burning - unbelievable how recent - and ongoing - the problems are. When will we look at each other as equals?
