I don’t imagine this is much of a surprise given that over the last week or so I haven’t been keeping up with my usual posting schedule, but I’m putting myself on a little Christmas break and there will be no new posts until the new year!
As I mentioned last week, I’ve started a new job and I’ve been concentrating on getting settled into a new role and new routine, as well as getting ready for the big day next week, so blogging has just had to take a back burner. This is a huge step for me, because as someone who religiously publishes at least 5 posts a week, I do feel a little like I’m letting my little blog down, but I’m proud of the fact that I’m not letting myself feel guilty for putting myself first.
I need a break, and this year is the first time that I have let myself really take one. If I’m not at work, I’m writing, or working on my small businesses, and I even blog daily when I’m on holiday. This Christmas, I think I’ve earned myself a little time off. I only have a few days off work over the festive period, and I want to spend that time enjoying myself, spending time with my family and just relaxing for a change.
I’m also concentrating on making sure come January I’m gonna be ready with great new content right from the get go, and using a new job and a new year as a fresh slate – and there’s going to be lots to come!
In the meantime, I wish you all the most merry of Christmasses, and if I’m not back by then, a lovely New Year!
Best wishes on your new job! I can appreciate why you’d put the blog on hold till the new year. I try for seven days a week with mine, but recognize being retired makes it possible. Even then, there are days I think it would be nice to go AWOL for a day or two. LOL! (I try to do a few ahead so I can pretend I’m taking a day or two off, but that sometimes is pretty exhausting, too.)
Congratulations on the new job. Completely understandable that you want some time off – hope you have a lovely break and I’ll see you in 2018!
