TIME FOR A LITTLE BREAK - A WALK IN PREGNY-CHAMBÉSY

Pregny 7 4 bis
As you might have guessed when viewing the above picture, next week I'll be on a short and well-deserved holiday (my last vacation was 6 months ago). But, don't panic, it'll only last a few days, so you should not miss me that much (LOL).

Lately, I have felt quite tired and as if like the life has been sucked out of me, an itsy bitsy depressed and fed up of being stressed by the frenesy of the world we live in. The events of the last months (and years - deaths, having to deal with my toxic family, being unemployed, clueless as to how to reintegrate the working world when I have no diplomas and having the impression of being a real loser) have suddenly caught up with me and hit me straight in the face. Even blogging added more pressure. Therefore, I really need to slow down and take a break, otherwise I'd end up with a total burnout.

Although, I don't have the leisure to go away or travel, I will nonetheless relax and try to explore our beautiful countryside in order to take pictures which I will share with you. Hopefully that will bring my mojo back!

Anyway, my next article will be posted on the 1st of June and I'll be online all the time (I know, I am a bit addicted...).
So, see you soon again, dear friends!

Cicero Sings said...

Sorry to hear that you've been feeling down in the dumps. Things will surely work themselves out ... it's just the waiting/worrying that's hard. It sure would be hard for me to get back in the work flow again.

I do hope you are enjoying your vacation. Those stay-near-at home vacations are often the best, the most relaxing. There are sometimes some lovely surprises in the close environs.

Kris Ngoei said...

There are so much more you could do with your talent, "loser" doesn't exist in your vocabulary...

Have a good break, things are always better when you are back :-)
