One More Day

Tomorrow will be my last post, last use of Twitter, and last Facebook update until Monday, July 20.

July is normally a wonderful month for me. Each year, I am away from work for two weeks of vacation and then two weeks of study in preparation for the fall. So during the first two weeks of vacation, I won’t be posting on this blog, Twitter, or Facebook (not sure that is a word). Later, I will talk about the vacation and study time. I will also post about what is in store. In the meantime, I will post a “Be Back July 20th” sign on this blog.

I have to admit, I always get a little nervous about disappearing from this blog for two weeks.

• Maybe some regular readers will be slow about coming back. (Surely not. 🙂
• Maybe I will miss the chance to connect with new readers of this blog.
• Maybe some occasional readers will check in a few times and then not really think about checking again on July 20.

Nevertheless, I have found it helpful to take a break from this blog and to regroup each year.

During these two weeks away, I will be thinking about what I plan to post next, etc. I plan many of these posts over a period of weeks. Sometimes, I scrap the plan and go with what is on my heart and mind at the moment.
