A Slice of Pie


 My own observation about my own self.....
Back to Full Blog  

I feel so blessed to have received such sweet "welcome backs" from such sweet people. My thanks to you all.
Today I heard someone at a meeting at work use that old saying " All things in moderation". I got to thinking about blogging. I have loved meeting so many kind and caring people here and have learned a lot and been entertained by some of the best writers on the web.
I think though I was spending to much time on line and in the stream there for a while. Which brings to mind another saying "To each his own". What might have seemed an excessive amount of time to me may not be for another.
I got to feeling like I was starting to live my life more on line than in "real" life. I decided I needed to limit my time. Miranda's surgery and my getting sick made it easier to ween myself away from it. I missed my friends, I thought of many of you often and wondered how you were.
Then I got to missing hearing from and about you so I've decided I don't need to write everyday I can write once a week or so. I can catch up on blogs as time permits instead of trying to read everyone's EVERY time I came to the stream. That is really hard to do because there are so many I love to read. Whether your writing stories or about what you made for dinner last night I like to read them all. But you all know how long it takes to read all your own favorites right? So I will read them as I can.
I will spend time here when I feel like I won't be taking time away from Rog or my family. I still have my "me" time, it's not like Rog wants me to spend every spare minute with him. He'd be sick of me I'm sure.
Now I think I'll go catch up on a few old friends. Oh and Thank you to the sweet lady who sends me ecards with the friendly notes ,your a gem!

The Blogstream has become a wonderful place for me too, but I agree that there needs to be a balance. You know your priorities, Pie, at least it sounds like it to me. And after all, the 'stream IS just the 'stream. It's fun, but just snapshots of reality. Life is WAY more than this place!!! See you next time!

Pie...I love ya...you're great and smart and sweet. Funny I was just thinking similiar thoughts...my life has kicked up considerably since I started blogging and I've been feeling bad about not giving back to everyone who has given to me. But like you I realize it's not possible to do it all so I'm having to cut back. In terms of blogging it now takes a week to do what I used to do in one day. Thank you for sharing this it helps ease my concerns. See ya when I see ya...I'm so happy that things are going well for you and your family.

Hey Miss Sweet Cherry Pie! I'm with ya, in that regard. It's hard to keep up with people and all the posts when there is family and career to balance. It is always good to see your smiling face when you're here! At least, that's how I imagine you! :) -Six

I too am experiencing that same thought Pie, I enjoy it too but I was getting on here for hours and even checking in a couplke of times a day.
This is a world of it's own, but what matters most is family and daily life in the real world. I will be checking in time to time as well.
Missed you.

My wonderful Pie! I totally understand everything you said and have been thinking along the same lines too. It is hard to balance online life with real life especially when you work full time and have a family too. I want to visit everyone everytime and I have made so many friends but I have had to pull away just a bit too because my health was suffering so I am doing the same thing. I do try to post every few days but I dont get the chance to visit all the sites I want to like I used to. Much love to you and I have thought of you often and wondered how you were doing as well. I love ya Pie! Big Bear hugs to ya woman and do what you need to do.- PolarB ;)

Pie --- good post with some of if not all the same sentiments that I've been slowly coming to. "balance" is the key, and just partaking of it (stream) for what it gives you and not feeling obligated to do anymore is much more healthier than trying to "bounce all over the place" and make all the stops (favorites).. I love the stream but I can only give it so much, but the real good thing is that it gives me much more back. good post, hope you have a great weekend...
