Enough
 
To all of you who have been wondering where I am...I'm working through some recent problems...nothing I won't get through, but I have been unable to concentrate, so not being much of a participant on OS.  
 
It has absolutely nothing to do with any of you, and no, I am not "flouncing".  I am simply prioritizing, and making myself whole again.  I am writing, but have chosen to let it simmer awhile before I bring it here.  
 
I'll be coming in and reading and commenting some, I will try to do it fairly, but if I miss your postings, don't take it personally.  I know you all are aware there are immense life changing experiences I am undergoing.  I hope you know I will share as I can.
 
To those of you who are undergoing heavy burdens and difficult life choices, take time to take care of yourself, we are no good to others unless we are good to ourselves.
 
I'll be back soon.  I'm off living life and feeling it all... the good, the bad and the ugly.  But I AM just fine.

Thanks for understanding! Be back soon.
I can see why you would need one, Sheila. Au revoir for now.
Thanks for checking in on us; thanks for taking care of yourself as well.
Hope all is well and that you stay around as much as you like. Till later....
You're fine when you do and fine when you don't.
Can't put a clock on beauty.
You take care of what's important — you!
A smile, a hug, and a candle in the window waiting for your return.
Be kind to yourself, sweetheart!
"we are no good to others unless we are good to ourselves."
You're so right. Good advice for us all.
Hugs and kisses,
Sharon
Hasta la vista, Babbeeee....see you on the upturn
Take care of yourself first!
We'll be here when you get back...

xoxoxo,
You are so great - I can't wait to know the even GREATER you! My best thoughts and incantations are with you in the meantime...
You're so kind to consider the folks here when you're dealing with your own challenges. You're a lovely human. Take care of you.
I keep hearing the Nike phrase in my head. Just DO it. Take care of yourself.
You'll be welcomed back with open arms.
This is overdue maybe... Be well dear!
Buffy, with all you've been through, this makes perfect sense. But don't miss the opportunity to wear the official OS flounce dress. This is the perfect occassion, and I am sure it will look fabulous on you. ;)

Take care of you and come back when you are ready.
Take care. I felt something amiss I, hope you work through it as you can and come back to us when your ready
Thanks for letting us know...I was wondering and given your loss of your dear husband, wanted to make sure you were okay. Please stay in touch (Facebook!) or here. You are thought of often.
And know dear Buffy we are all here for you. thanks for all you've done for us
Of course. My heavens, you most certainly need time to breathe and think and live and ... everything else. I am honored that you took a moment to comment on my poem. I don't think anyone should feel slighted by your ability or inability to write or comment or be visible. As always, I am thinking of you and look forward to the moments you can spend with us. Warm hugs.
You'll be missed. I'll miss you. Hurry home again. Take good, good care.
Jesus, Ms. Buffy. If anyone needs one, it's you. Take good care of yourself and return as the Buffy we all love and admire.
You know I wish you only the best. You will still be my big sister and Mel and I love you. You know how to reach me should you want to talk and you know we are always happy to hear your voice.

Keep me posted, let me know how you are and go and live that life. You deserve all the good that comes your way.
Godspeed, Buffy. You need the rest.
Take care of yourself, Buffy; we look forward to seeing you as soon as you are able!
We'll be here when you get back. Take good care.
Dear, girl. you have been through so much lately. Take a deep breath and relax. We ain't going anywhere. Do what you gotta do. Hugs, M
Your check's in the mail, and your book will be tomorrow.
All these comments prove how much you are loved. Add my love to them ...you're one special lady.
i know where you're at. i been there, and am there on and off. the fun is letting it come when it wants. it's natural to me that something larger should emerge--don't you think? The best stuff is when you can get down to the very bone, but that god damned bone is the hardest to chew and still find nourishment.

hugs,
I'm glad you're taking a breather. You were starting to remind me of that film, "I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can." It's okay, and sometimes the best choice, to sit out a few dances.
I hope you're reading these messages of love and caring and support. We've got your back. Take all the time you need. And thanks for your wise words to those of us fighting our own battles. Peace, Sheila.
I took a break for several months after my older sister died. It gives one energy and a new outlook. Enjoy the time of peace and quiet to attend to your own business. Come back soon as you are ready.
God Bless
I'll miss you. Glad you're taking good care of yourself. You are in my prayers constantly.
Take it easy, Buffy, and take care of yourself.
Who can blame you??? Take special care of yourself.... prayers sent!
be well, dear
we totally understand
you will be missed, but i dont think anyone could fail to understand your need for some time and space to regroup.

love and hugs to you.
You do what you need to do, girl, and we shall welcome you back when you decide it is time.
Dear Sheila,
I'll miss you but I do understand. Sometimes you just need to process the process. I'm glad you're not going away for good. Do what you need to do and know you'll be welcomed back with open (if virtual) arms.
Blessings and hopes for peace and healing,

Eva
Ohhh. I didn't want to read this once I saw the title... but I do get it and fully support this move. Your comment today on my blog speaks volumes about what you 'know' about needing stillness. Peace and I look forward to finding peace with you.
Take care wonderful lady!
Know that you'll be missed and thought of often. Best wishes.
Hope to see you back here soon. Thinking of you....
sounds like you're doing the right thing for you, love. just to remind you, i'm a phone call away and i now have references for what a funny and also insightful and intuitive person i am. seriously. ask Owl or Sirenita or Yarn Over and several others. love love love. (i can cut to the heart of any matter like a laser beam. seriously.)
You will be missed, but not forgotten. Take all the time you need, come back when you are ready, and savor the journey you are on ... hills and valleys ... which from both you will grow. Someone told me that once ... in essence ... and it helped. I think it was you.
You'll be missed, but we understand fully, and love you unconditionally x
Sending much love and strength your way...
"But I AM just fine."

Best news I've had this morning. I was all set to send you an e-mail....
yes come bk soon. good weather and warm wishes for you Sheila.
Take care of you and be gentle with yourself.
"I'm off living life and feeling it all... the good, the bad and the ugly." Spoken like the vibrant woman that you are.

Relax, reflect, rejuvenate...You deserve it. (((HUGS!)))
BuffyW Your absence will be noticed, your return celebrated. I will miss reading your blog but when its time to take a break; its time to take a break. Keep being good to yourself.
Best of everything you need and see you soon, Buffy.
:~). Wishing you well, Ms. Buffy!
I did miss you, peace and thoughts to you....
I kinda thought you were going to do this. I'm glad. Life is a series of revealing then reflecting. And I'm sure its time for you to go inward and do some work. We're still here.
We will all miss you, Sheila, and hold good thoughts for you until you return. Then the good thoughts end. (smirk.)

Take good care of yourself,
Take care, sweetheart. We love you.
