I know today is Thursday and the doors I was going to feature are in my folder, but I just can’t do it. They should have been done last night, but life has gotten too busy at the moment and when I realized this morning that I hadn’t gotten them into a post and that I don’t have time in the next few days to respond to comments or visit all the posts I want to see, I decided enough is enough. Life has to be lived and work obligations met and especially in this season, I don’t want to be any more overwhelmed than need be.
So I’m taking a few days off, but leaving you with this shot from my Monday walk in the park. It’s a sort of “light at the end of the tunnel” photo, in a place you’ve seen at least several times on the blog before, once with fog at the end, once with a deer and rabbit silhouetted halfway down. Enjoy the beauty and the symbolism. Take time to enjoy the season and I’ll see you soon. Feel free to chat, as I’ll have a bit of time here and there to check and I’ll miss that.
This, that and the other thing 
I completely relate. Have a wonderful Christmas season!
Thanks. You, too. I’ll be back before Christmas, though. 🙂
I understand the feeling, Janet. I hope you either catch up or that things calm down. December can be a stressful time.
I’ll get caught up at some point, but I want to enjoy the Christmas season, my favorite of the year. I love blogging, too, but I have to carve out time somewhere. 🙂
It’s all about priorities – Enjoy!
Thanks, I will.
I love that picture – just perfect for so many reason.
Overwhelmed. Good to put a stop to that, too – especially when so much whirling to be seen, experienced, and enjoyed in real life.
Fog and richness of winter are the perfect excuse to be MIA a bit – keeps burnout at bay and balance reestablished. May warmth, friend, and peace ship find your door always
I’m happy you like the photo. I’ve gotten at least four magical photos from that same spot. Thanks for the good wishes and may they find your door as well.
Sometimes, you just can’t force this blogging thing. You’ve gotta love it, and I definitely love it when I can tell your whole heart is in it. Good on you for taking time for life to keep that passion burning bright. Enjoy your time away from the screen!
Thanks very much, Hannah. I’ll enjoy the time off and look forward to being back. I love the Christmas season and don’t want to feel crunched by it instead of enjoying it. I’ll see you soon, I’m sure.
Overwhelm is no good. I love how you take pictures of the same spot at different times. Very cool.
Thanks! I’ve gotten several wonderful photos from that very spot. There’s something about that tunnel effect.
Sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is acknowledging that we don’t have to do it all.
Best wishes!
Thanks, Joanne. ‘Tia the season to enjoy life. 😉
I like this photo a lot. The mystery at the end of the path is heightened by the bare tree trunks and gnarled branches.

Thanks very much, Allan. This path is such a lovely spot.
It would be a nice spot to photograph at night with lanterns/flashlights in the trees and brush.

The park closes at sunset, although you could easily get in if you wanted to.
There’s probably a good reason to stay out of the park after sunset. Oh, well…

Enjoy the time off 🙂
I will or at least I’ll feel less stressed. 😉
Blogging is suppose to be fun. Sometimes, to fully enjoy the moment, we require a break. So, grab a cup of tea and enjoy your time off. 🙂
I’m working more hours than I’d like and then there’s housework, getting ready for Christmas, etc. I miss blogging but I need the time more.
Nice one J. Life has to be lived as you say. Keep on living, but get back to us asap! Cheers. MB
As Arnold said in “Terminator”, “I’ll be back.” Don’t worry about that. 🙂
Looks darker at the end of the road in your image. LOL. Nice shot.
It literally does, Sherry, but it was so light there because of the snow that it seemed light. 🙂

Love the shot – and your decision. A good one in order to enjoy coming back!
Thanks, A-C. Turns out to have been an even better decision than I thought as work is getting crazy and I have to work almost every day next week as well. 😢
💖
Very Narnia!! Enjoy your break.
Thanks, Su. I will and it’s necessary simply from a time point of view for the next week or so. Narnia. I like it!
I understand that 😀
We all get crazy busy sometimes, that’s just how it is. Look how late I am! I don’t miss any doors here at this post, for this winter view is delightful, and a steady reminder that as the earth rests, we need to as well 🙂 Please take good care of you through this hectic time. ❤
Thanks, Joey. I hope your weekend’s been good. 😊
It’s been full, mostly up. Tomorrow will be down, and likely more satisfying. Take it easy 🙂
Good for you, in taking a few days off. I completely understand about the doors sitting in a folder with no time to post. Happy holidays!
I’ve had to work so much that I just can’t take the time to do much other than housework/regular life things and getting ready for Christmas. But I will be back at some point. I just don’t want to post when I don’t have time to visit other bloggers. Doesn’t seem fair.
Merry Christmas!
