Things going pear shaped?

What d'you think? Is life often shaped like this:




I'm not sure that mine is. While admittedly that shape suggests things are weighing you down, it's still composed of something delicious to eat and good for you too. Having thought a lot about what shape I'd use to depict my life, this is the best I can come up with:


I've been struggling to find bloggable material lately as I'm a bit overwhelmed with unprintable stuff. This was always meant to be a cathartic exercise, a way of venting my emotions with hopefully some wry moments and humour thrown in for good measure. Just now it's all too much so to take the pressure off I'm taking a break. It may only be a short one. Hell, it may only be about ten minutes as I rarely shut up for long. But it may be longer than that.


I'm going now, I may be gone sometime.

Just don't do what I do when I am (frequently) overwhelmed, Belle, and delete blog altogether - I do find them therapeutic (writing mine and reading others). Good luck and hang on in there.

Sometimes the blog world becomes too overwhelming for me too. I was just thinking the other day that every other blogger always seems so confident and witty and sure of themselves. Thanks for keepin it real.

Oh hopefully, life is pear shaped not splat shaped and those big little ones of yours are well and good. Have a little break, it's quite a tug writing blogs all the time. (and compulsively addictive) thanks for all your kind comments on my blog.

Bugger, your off just as I come back from my sabbatical! I understand the need to be away from time to time. Blogging can overwhelm your life and circumstances just happened where I had to take about six weeks away. It wasn't planned and it's hard to get back into it but the break was a good. Come back refreshed soon.

Belle - don't go! I'm running out of stuff to dribble on about too but I'm limping along.

I think the splot is a perfect metaphor for my life too.

Writer's block? A bit fed up? You and me both. It's cold, it's miserable, it's post-Christmas, a real dose of January blues, plain and simple. I too am just lost for blogwords at the moment, even foul ones, so please cheer up, you are not alone!

And anyway, aren't you supposed to be the Thelma to my Louise?

Come on girl, you know you've got what it takes. Have a rest, re-group and get back to it. When you feel like it and the muse takes you.

Love
