I have been thinking about closing off comments adn maybe opening them up once a week when I write a more serious piece. I dont want to be glued to a blog either. Its only a small part of life isnt it not the be all and end all. Loved this post your gorgeous girl! thanks for being you and continuing to inspire. I might not always get to your posts when you post them but I do read you always.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-35328958898007396122009-06-24T22:36:22.834-05:002009-06-24T22:36:22.834-05:00I love your blog and I love the idea of simplifyin...I love your blog and I love the idea of simplifying. I've gone through the process a number of times (and have also read and love Joyce Meyer's book!). <br /><br />I think I may join you, albeit a few days late. I, too, get hung up on the numbers, though that was never my reason for starting the blog or continuing to write.<br /><br />I love to write from the heart...it's what God's gifted me to do. <br /><br />Thanks for that reminder today.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandySandy @ The Scoop on Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382966038522662787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-67799424765118808372009-06-24T10:00:35.120-05:002009-06-24T10:00:35.120-05:00Hi Tabitha,
I'm sorry it's taken me so lon...Hi Tabitha,<br />I'm sorry it's taken me so long to comment on this post. I actually read it the other day, but my computer went into cardiac arrest and it took me about an hour to get it working again....by the time I got back online, I had completely lost track of what I was doing. <br /><br />Anyhow, I think this is a WONDERFUL project to be working on. It was about 15 years ago when I first started considering the notion of living simply -- and although I sometimes need to come back to center and remind myself of the joys of living simply, I have never once regretted choosing a life where I know how to say no...or be conscious of living a balanced, relaxed and lovely life. <br /><br />I'm definitely going to think with you through these next 21 days -- and in fact, dedicated my blog today to the idea of Simply Living...<br /><br />Also -- I agree with the first commenter who said she believes you already write from your heart...your heart and your goodness come through loud and clear. <br /><br />have a simply wonderful day!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461281675925684997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-67706581746412716082009-06-23T14:56:21.934-05:002009-06-23T14:56:21.934-05:00I applaud you for what you're doing, Tabitha. ...I applaud you for what you're doing, Tabitha.

I think we all need to eliminate all the stress we can from our lives and find out what our priorities are. I, too, get stressed with the commenting on blogs.

And I also understand completely about the blogging you're doing, and keeping up with it all. It can get overwhelming. You're also reminding me that I should look into how I can simplify my life...thank you!Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347642337022150880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-59750488278279997152009-06-22T20:46:57.785-05:002009-06-22T20:46:57.785-05:00Tabitha, amen!

Your honesty and openness here will help many people, I'm sure, as you've helped me. Sometimes we have to know when to say no--when it (whatever it is) is pulling us down instead of building us up.<br /><br />And that was just the first day!

Yes, bloggin...I think this is a great idea Tabitha. Yes, blogging can sometimes feel like a "chore", and it is necessary to take a step back and remember that (for me anyways) blogging is a stress reliever. So why do it if it's causing me stress? I hope you do well in your challenge. I think I'll try this, but later in July since I have a vacation coming up so it wouldn't really be true to my everyday life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-81248441071466167632009-06-22T17:09:55.333-05:002009-06-22T17:09:55.333-05:00Tabitha,

The reasons you share are the same reasons I have chosen NOT to do Facebook (despite great pressure from others), nor Twitter. SIMPLY, I do not want to spend more time at my computer. I like my computer, but not that much. Plus, it's summer here in Michigan. Time to savor. I'll join you in your 21-days to simplicity. I think it sounds divine!Janice Lynne Lundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065023183951459029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-71281693648890645862009-06-22T16:08:39.303-05:002009-06-22T16:08:39.303-05:00Wow..good for you, Tabitha!!

The whole idea of letting go of the more complicated things in life and just getting back to basics brings peace itself. I love Joyce.

I've been thinking much alon...LOVE it, Tabitha. I've been thinking much along the same lines. That list of followers has been shocking, humbling, and encouraging for me at times. But there have been a few times that it's been stressful--when I'm low on time and worry that my followers or commenters don't think I care. I DO care and I DO love having a sense of community in blogland. Those little faces cheer me on, so now I need to work on trusting that they know I have different priorities on different days. There's only so much spare time and blogging isn't even in my top 5.<br /><br />Great post, dear!<br /><br />~Shaye2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-46930438779076734252009-06-22T14:18:47.504-05:002009-06-22T14:18:47.504-05:00I completely agree with you.

I know what you mean... I'm having to cut back a bit, which is HARD, but necessary. I'm forcing myself not to feel guilty if I don't comment on (or read) every post my favorite bloggers put up. It's too much. I'll have to check out the Meyer book... I'm big into simplification these days!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637670293642285740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-50170012447211070142009-06-22T10:03:21.215-05:002009-06-22T10:03:21.215-05:00Great idea!!

This is something I need to do as well, but there are SO many things I *need* to do, it seems, I don't even know where to start!<br /><br />I simplified my blogging as well and no longer make it a priority. It's remaining a hobby that God can use as He sees fit. :)<br />I also have a devotional blog that I don't "advertise" just to get my thoughts down. If people happen to come across, they are welcome to read, but everything there is speaking to me. :) It's refreshing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767651517860258077.post-3082331259764451222009-06-22T08:09:24.148-05:002009-06-22T08:09:24.148-05:00If it's causing you stress, then by all means ...If it's causing you stress, then by all means eliminate that!
