A Little Time Off...

Rather than re-posting, I'm taking some time off while I take inventory of what is important in life...

Couple days oughta be enough, right?

There are, of course, over a thousand posts to explore, if you're looking for some light entertainment.  Might I suggest the "My Weird Friends" label (below and to the right) or even "You Know I'm Writing This Down, Right?"

There's always "The Cats Have a Secret Life".

Dang cats...

I'll be back Monday.

Hugs and Kisses to you all,

Pearl

Pearl--You take all the time you want off (those 312,568 followers of yours will remain loyal), and if someone doesn't like it, there's a Cee Lo song you could sing...

Indigo Roth said...

Hey Pearl! That's a good decision, we'll all still be here next week. Some of us may even look forward to it. I'm just saying. Roth x

Pearl said...

Sioux, I know that song. :-)

And thank you. I need direction, and I need to put a plan in place for that direction...

Pearl said...

Thank you, Indigo. :-) It's not like I don't have notes on the next dozen posts. Like I said above, I just need direction on where to go next...

Simply Suthern said...

You do what you gotta do. I think most will agree and support you on this. All we want is the best for you.

A spiritually healthy Pearl is important.

Now if you were just plain ole sick then you would need a note from the Doc.

Bill Lisleman said...

Pearl you didn't specify which Monday but if it's the one in 3 days that's much time off. I don't know how you can post everyday. I've only done it for about a two week stretch. Take some time, talk to a cat, and come up with something.

Bill Lisleman said...

Damn no edit function - I meant "that's not much time off"

Connie said...

Hugs to you, Pearl. :)

Anonymous said...

Take as much time as you need...we'll all be here waiting.

Unknown said...

Hugs, Pearl; take the time you need. We'll be here when you get back.

Silliyak said...

You can't take care of our needs unless you take care of yourself. Hope Wille and everyone else is doing ok

Pearl said...

I'm actually very touched right now -- and in a good way, not that index-finger-twirling-around-the-temple sort of way people like to talk about.

You people are wonderful.

I have a million ideas. Now would someone point me in the right direction?!

Camille said...

So sorry to hear about Willie's Dad. We'll be right here when you get back in the saddle.

And for heavens sake, make sure you hide the car keys from Liza Bean Bitey(OTMB)- The last thing you need right now is more drama and an empty gas tank. Hugs.

Shelly said...

Take all the time you need, darlin'. We're here now and we will be when you come back.

Wise Pearl. Retreat and recoup. Always good. I had a challenge put to me this week which resulted in actually bringing some concrete plans into place. If you're open to receiving the signals, the direction WILL reveal itself.

Some of those deep and long OMs might help! YA(((((8~|)))))Mxx (that's me hugging you).

vanilla said...

Recuperate, reconnoiter, rejuvenate; return when you are ready. We'll wait.

Jayne Martin said...

I'll miss my daily dose of Pearl (even if I don't always leave a comment), but I think you're doing the right thing for yourself and I have no doubt a plan and direction will appear and it will be perfect.

Buttons Thoughts said...

Hugs Pearl I understand this.Take care B

jenny_o said...

You need direction? North! That's a direction!

Or maybe south.

I might not be the best one to advise you.

Take the time you need. Three days doesn't seem like enough. We truly can entertain ourselves for longer than that, really!

Okay, we can't. But we'll live :)

Hope all is going as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

Gigi said...

Sending you more hugs. Take all the time you need - now that we've found you, we aren't going anywhere. xo

Geo. said...

When I need direction I tell my heart and head to work it out and get back to me. It always propels me forward, no I mean the other forward...two of my favorite directions. Best wishes.

Watson said...

sending hugs and thoughts for wisdom. Remember to breathe!

Love you
Daisy and Barbara

In the immortal words of the great Chicago, "Everybody needs a little time away..."

Take care.

Dr. Kathy McCoy said...

You surely deserve a rest, Pearl! We'll still be here -- eager to read your latest -- when you return!

Elephant's Child said...

Take care of yourself. We will be more than happy to wait - and happier still to welcome you home.

Robbie Grey said...

Luck, take care, and other such utterances...

Read you when I read you :).

River said...

Take as long as you need Pearl, we'll be here when you're ready to come back.

Linda O'Connell said...

We will all be waiting. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Lin said...

enjoy your free time, Pearl! I've been going m.i.a. a bit this year too and it helps keep me sane.

savannah said...

Take time to grieve and to heal...
