. . . and a little bit more.

For several months now, I’ve been sharing little slices of my life . . .  by sharing collections of random photos from my camera roll. It’s a good way for me to keep you all updated on what’s been happening in my days . . . without boring you with the mundane day-to-day stories of my days. Because at this point, I’ve been blogging here long enough that I feel like I’m just repeating myself year after year. And if I’m tired of that, I’ll bet maybe you are, too.

So while I’ve been sharing these “views” from my camera roll every two weeks, I’ve also been thinking about my own blogging and how I can keep it “fresh” and interesting for me. And, of course, for you.

So I’ve taken a little break. Blogging less often . . . feels better for me right now. More “space” in my days means I have time to think about what I might want to say here, and how I want to say it. That “thinking” will continue through the end of the year, and then in January I’ll explain where I’m “landing,” blog-wise. I hope you’ll hang with me here for the duration.

(And, in case you’ve been wondering, I am not going to create a new “blog advent calendar” this year. I do, though, have a special . . . thing . . . I’ll be writing for you through December. Not every day, though. I’ll explain next week, so stay tuned.)

Anyway. Here’s another view from my camera roll. You’ll be able to see that I’ve reached the . . . quiet time of the year. A time of putting away and sorting through. A time of organizing and planning. A time of hunkering down and preparing for the dark and cold months ahead. It’s a lot less colorful. But still beautiful in its own way.

I won’t be blogging again this week, so I want to take this opportunity to thank you all today . . . for being here with me and reading the little “natterings” I share. I appreciate your support, your kind words, and the community that we’ve created here in blog-land. If you’re gathering with friends and family for a special meal this week, I hope it’s wonderful. And I wish you all a relaxing and restful weekend.

I’ll see you in December!
