In So Many Words

My regular readers may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging much lately. Although I have enjoyed the last two-plus years of blogging and all that it entails more than I can say, I am in a place right now where I must focus on some other areas of my life that are sorely in need of attention.

It really comes down to this issue I have been dealing with of recognizing your limitations and accepting them. That is especially hard for me when blogging is something I love, but I have come to accept that for right now I just cannot continue to make it a priority.

I am going to leave this blog up for the time being and may return to it in the future. If nothing else, I hope that it will serve as a resource for other moms and dads who are looking for information on autism — if you are just stumbling upon my blog now, you can use the nested menu at the top of the page or the category list and search features in the right sidebar to see if I have posted about the topic you are looking for. The Archives menu in particular includes a link to a list of my Autism Resource posts and a list of the posts I did for 5 Minutes for Special Needs.

For anyone who wishes to keep in touch, feel free to connect with me on Facebook or email me at trish1225[at]gmail[dot]com. The comments on this post will be open for a few days and then closed.

And, by the way, just because I’m not blogging doesn’t mean I’m not still decluttering, so if you committed to the challenge, you’re not off the hook! Check out Suzanne’s 365 Days of Decluttering blog if you need some additional inspiration to keep going.

Even with the stressful IEP meetings over and the stress of our kindergarten-year schedule coming to a close, I am still finding it hard to put together a coherent sentence. Which in turn makes it hard to turn any of the ideas swirling around in my head into something worth posting here.

So I have decided to cut myself some slack (for once!) and take a break from posting here for the next few weeks. I may still pop on to Twitter or find myself rambling and venting nonsense over at Autism Interrupted, but then again I may just take Michael to Hersheypark every day in June and never even turn on the computer!

Here’s the proof that I am in need of some serious R&R:

Your Mind is 83% Cluttered

Your mind is incredibly cluttered. You have so much going on in there, it’s hard to think straight. Consider talking to a therapist. It’s a good idea to sort through your thoughts, if only to see which ones are worth hanging on to.

How Cluttered is Your Mind?
