Today is Sunday time to look back in the rearview mirror and talk about my week . I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted for years by Kimberly@caffeinatedreviewer .
In my private life
Happy Sunday,
This week has been extremely busy at work and yet slow in my private life.
I realize that I am not very present on the blog and I felt guilty at first. And then I thought better of it.
I have been blogging for nearly eight years now and if I am less active these past months, so be it.
It’s better to blog a little than to stop altogether. After all, this is a hobby and it must not become a chore right?
So I am taking it slow and enjoying the process because I don’t want to burn out.
Also I have been reading more, watching TV with my husband too (things I rarely do)… taking my time and enjoying life in general, as a promise to my friend who passed away.
Now as usual, I will share some of the reels I made this week.
The first one is about marking your territory…
And the second is about staying in or going out…
On the blog this week (click on the graphic to read the post)
The first is a graphic nove, the sequel of Breaks and I loved it!
The Warm Hands of Gods was my first Katherine Arden and it was dark and beautiful!
Thanks for reading!
Sophie
I understand, we all need a breather sometimes. I have been trying to feel less guilty about not blogging if I’m not feeling up to it, like you said posting less frequently is still better than stopping all together!
I read that you went through something similar a few months ago Mogsy! And yes a little is better than nothing at all!
I totally understand the feeling but you’re so right, blogging is a hobby and should never feel like a chore :)
Thank you Lindsey!
I went through similar feelings with my blog. I don’t have time for blogging in summer, and I used to feel bad about it, but now I’m too tired to feel anything. :)
And with your EMT classes ahead I am not sure you’ll be less tired AJ!
I’m glad you are enjoying other things in life besides blogging! It is suppose to be a fun escape, not a chore. Have a fabulous week!
Thank you Samantha!
Blogging is a hobby. It should be fun, not a chore or something your feel like you need to do. I am glad you are enjoying slowing things down.
Thank you Sam!
Oh I love Katherine Arden books. Looking forward to checking this one out.
I hope you’ll love it!
You’re right Sophie, it’s a hobby not a job, everything at your own pace xx
Thank you!!
I’ve been taking it slow myself these past couple of months, so I totally agree when you say that turning a hobby into work robs it of all its fun :-)
Exactly Maddalena!
It’s smart to slow down and avoid burnout! And I love your reels this week
Aww thank you Tammy! It must be the dog mom LOL
You shouldn’t feel guilty at all, Sophie. Spending more time with loved ones and taking time for yourself is never a bad thing.
That’s what I think too Teri! Have a great week.
I think you’re very wise to take it easier. I constantly remind myself that reading and blogging are hobbies I do to ENJOY myself. So you grab those golden moments of fun, they are inevitably the little things we generally tend to overlook – and celebrate them. Your friend would approve. Have a lovely, golden week.
Thank you so much for these kind words!
You’re so right, blogging is a hobby not a job. Need to have fun and not stress about it. It’s important to spend time with your hubby and just enjoy life. Have a wonderful week, Sophie!
Thank you Rachel! Have a great week too!
I also struggle with this but ultimately you’re right! Better a small amount than none at all.
I hope your work load get to slowly get back to normal, and that you’ll have a nice week xx
Thank you Kristina!
Well you have to do as much as you enjoy! And read the good books.
