When Life Punches You in the Gut and You Have to Take a Break

I’m taking a short break from the blog: we’ve just had some pretty crappy news in the family.

I wanted to post today just to say that I’ll not be posting at all next week – I think it will be the first time EVER in nearly eight years of blogging that I’ve not posted at least once a week. (The link up is still on so do link up all your posts as normal.) I’m working abroad next week and had originally intended to have written and scheduled three posts before I leave on Sunday to cover all of next week.

On a normal week I would have slogged my guts out and got it done.

But this hasn’t been a normal week, and instead of slogging my guts out the whole family has had a punch in the guts instead.

I’m not going to explain any more than that unfortunately as I hope to revisit this when I have more positive news in the near future…

No, let’s change that to I will have more positive news in the near future. Positive mental attitude and all that.

It’s not something I want to go into in detail (I’m all for sharing things about my life but this is different), so I’m sorry if that’s ambiguous but sometimes you have to draw a line at how much you share on the old interwebs. I mentioned on Instagram last night that all virtual hugs, good vibes and positive thoughts are welcomed with open arms.

So I decided yesterday not to work at a hundred miles an hour to schedule everything for next week and instead simply come back to it after my week away. I’m off to Prague for several days and I’ll hopefully be able to share what’s going on there either when I’m there or afterwards (not sure if there’s an embargo on sharing what I’m working on yet).

But I’ll definitely have some free time to explore the city while I’m away so will be sharing some pictures and videos on Instagram at least. And hopefully I’ll be more enthusiastic about Prague once I’m there, it’s a bit hard to be jumping-up-and-down-with-excitement about it right at this minute.

Therefore nothing will be on the blog until the week after next (Tuesday 19th March). I’m sure you can forgive me – the blogosphere will keep turning till then I’m sure – and I’ll see you on the 19th.

Remember to hold your loved ones tight and make the most of life in EVERY way possible. You never know when it’s going to punch you, or the ones you love, in the guts 🙁

I HOPE TO HAVE HAPPIER NEWS WHEN I RETURN TO THE BLOG… REMEMBER, ALL POSITIVE VIBES AND VIRTUAL HUGS WELCOME (AND RECIPROCATED) x
