on taking time out
dearest friends,
I look back over the past two weeks and read the posts here on daily parcels and it seems that I have said, a few times, that I am taking time out
- and I haven't - for one reason or another.
But I must. You see, I am rundown.
I woke yesterday with a mouth full of ulcers and a coldsore (too much information, I know), caused when a person's immune system is depleted.
I look like I am a walking advertisement of why not to have botox.
and I am teary & fretful.
AND my house is out of control. My washing is piling up and I can't get on top of it - unless I turn into the Capricorn that I am and become a mountain goat!
So, I must take time away. I just have to!! I need to take walks in the crisp autumn air - not worrying about who likes me and who doesn't. Not to worry about what I am writing incase I offend.
it is hard to convince myself that I need time away, let me tell you.
cause I keep telling myself that if I disappear , even for a short moment then I will be forgotten - into the world of the now defunct bloggers - very insecure !
I don't know how long I will be away but it will be more than a day or two
I may visit your blogs to comment - but I need to get myself better.
The vintage tea swap is still on - so if you want to join - just email me.
please tell me that you will be here when I come back and you won't forget me -
promise ?

Stop fretting and get well dear friend. Of course we will still be here when you get back. Take your time to recover and stop worrying! Hugsssss
My dear friend,
Please take all the time you need and do take care of yourself!! I know this is so hard for someone who has such a sensitive spirit,but try not to fuss and worry over comments that were made here in blogland ~ that is all in the past...you can't please everybody and it is far more important to be true to yourself. I will be here for you (as you have been for me) through thick and thin. Don't worry dear friend no one will forget you ~ you have been my inspiration and really the reason I started my own blog. I am sending up prayers for you hope you feel better soon!
Love,
Laurie
Never ever ever. You take your time and we will be here when you return. (Go out today and get you some herbal mouth and gum therepy with aloe vera, echininacea, goldenseal, calendula,spearmint, etc. then add a few drops of tea tree oil to the mix and rinse your mouth--will burn like the dickens but it will fix your mouth right up! Hurt so good!!) Take care of yourself, my friend.
As for forgetting you? I think you've gotten to be pretty much a habit for me!
Take care this week.
Dear Robyn,
as I think I've said before, don't worry about not blogging or your bloggin friends leaving you, we wont! I don't blog every day either, sometimes I take a few days out. And why not? We also have a real life to live! Where is the law that says you have to blog every day? Just take your time and blog when you feel like it. We'll check here from time to time as always!
Hope your feeling better soon!
I'm sending you a big hug!

My soul twin! poor you! rest,meditate,and be kind to yourself,enjoy your days and email your postal address so i can send you copies of those notes,when I get them,email anytime honey,xxx
You have nothing to worry about - we will all be here when you get back. Like the others said, it's far more important to take care of you.
I will miss you, but you are only ever an email away :)

How could we forget you?
Take time, all the time you need and want.
Be good and gentle and slow and easy with yourself.
Sleep.
And be a dear daily parcel to yourself, and know that I am here and won't leave your side!
I had a friend who said I talked too much. I had a friend who said I wore too little make-up. I had a friend who said I needed to get out more and party. I had a friend who said I was much too quiet. I had a friend who said I had perfect hair. I had a friend who said I was too perfect.
I have had just about every kind of friend in my life. What I have noticed over the many years of being on this planet, is that they all need me to be something completely different.
Reading your post was refreshing.
It reminded me of how important it is... to my life... to be true to myself first. I am glad to have met you... even if just the brief visit or two I have had since discovering you vis tongue in Cheek antiques. I honor what you are doing for yourself as it is the best. I have had many friends in my life and while others come and go ... the one constant companion in my life has been me. I have not taken that relationship near seriously enough... wanting others to like me when liking myself was the one true antidote.
warm wishes to you on your journey. I look forward to reading more of your work when it feels best to you to do it.
Dearest Robyn, how can you ever be forgotten...your a very special lady, one who I happen to admire greatly! Please take the time away to properly take care of you. Mend and heal, take those restorative long walks in the autumn air, read, meditate and come back to us when your ready...I will be waiting for you dear friend...will miss you though...many prayers and thoughts coming your way, If you need to chat just email me!
xoxo Love Mindy
the best thing for a sore mouth is salt and warm water gargle.i have put salt right on a sore burns like fire but after stops burning pain is gone for a while
It is about time you took that break! I'll keep checking in on you to make sure you are relaxing and getting back to your old self again. NOW, this time, stay off the blog for a while and concentrate on YOU!!! Don't worry about us, we'll all still be here when you get back! Go take a long, lavender soak in the bath and that's an order....
Dear Ms Robyn, as if we could forget you. Take your time and return when you are ready.
Hugs always
Catherine

thoughts/prayers...
You are on my favorites list even though I’ve just got hooked by the blog about a month or so ago. One thing I must add, Michaela’s statement is so true- “ wanting others to like me when liking myself was the one true antidote.” You must not forget about yourself. Taking care of oneself is first so then you can be your very best and share your wealth with all the rest.Annabelle
Ditto to all the above. You silly sausage, do stop fretting about one person on the other side of the world who may have lost a whole lot of readers since she posted her bigotted (sp.) view on your blog. You should know who your friends are by now!
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}
Robyn....dont fret just take your time, take in the autumn air, take long walks and recoupaerate your spirit. I, and all the others will keep checking back, and I'm sure when youre ready, you shall come back full of zip and ready to go again. Youre a real inspiration here in blog land, and if you've noticed, i havent exactly been much at my blog either lately....feeling a bit blog blah! oh well that just means a good rest is in order....take care, ((((hugs)))) GG.
Have a very Happy Mothers Day Ms.Robyn. Hugssss
