Dictionary.com defines hibernating as “passing the winter in a sleeping or inactive condition”. While this usually pertains to plants and animals it is an apt description of my blogging behavior during the past several months. I broke one of the cardinal rules of a successful blogger – post high quality content consistently.
This hibernation was not planned. It came upon me one day at a time, one moment at a time. It ended up consuming me for almost three months. I wish I could say the time has been otherwise productive. It has not. At least not in ways I can right now figure out, although I do think there is a universal message or pony in this situation.
I have awakened feeling a bit groggy, sheepish and guilty. I am working on shaking out the cobwebs and regaining my bearings. Day by day I am more awake and aware and working to build into my blogging life the discipline that is the hallmark of success. Please stay tuned.
Thank you for your readership!

As you shake the cobwebs, I look forward to reading more. Or, maybe, even seeing a picture of the pony. ________________________________

I am on a 2 week hiatus (very limited wifi) and feeling withdrawal! Can’t imagine full hibernation. Welcome back!

I wouldn’t recommend it! Re-entry is a bit of a humbling process. I would advise that you enjoy your time away. Planned absence is better for the soul than slipping into hibernation!

No worries! I’m sort of “starting over” myself! If it’s not fun, why do it? Go for it, sister!

Oh yeah! I think my/our journey is a bit more seat of the pants plan – although my husband is very analytical and I count on him to have it all worked out!

Not sure if you’re aware, but when you start to write again, that post becomes the spackle that covers the holes in the blog you felt were there. Your new words are the words of the hour. Re-entry is easy, then, isn’t it?
Glad I’ve found you through the A to Z Challenge!
