…. while I’m away. Going to take a little break from my world here – have quite a few things going on just now that I have to put some afford into … plus I’m going away for a long weekend, going up to Gothenburg to spend some time with a girlfriend or two.
Something I think I have to do now and then – because lately have I felt a bit stressed over not have enough time to read every post and replay – that is not what blogging should be about. Have only myself to blame for that – nobody else put that pressure on to me.
For me blogging is very much a two way relationship – for me is it a lot more than just click “LIKE” and move to the next post. It happens that I do it – when I don’t really know to say or I don’t want to make a comment on the subject, but it doesn’t happen very often – because I have an opinion on nearly everything.
Don’t worry … I will be back in full strength again and I want to see to you all still here ready to cheering me on. ‘
So I ask you to stay put … don’t move an inch from my world.

One of my favorite songs is hanging over this post; “Stand By Me” with Ben E. King from 1961 – this version was released by Glenview Records Inc in May 2012 on vinyl, produced by DJ Suonho. Born in Italy 1974 and can be found everywhere like twitter, facebook, myspace ….. you name it and he are there. No photo to be find anywhere of him.
I think he has done a fantastic “pimping” of my old favorite and it’s done with big respect.

Marina, thank you so much – yes, more or less been blogging everyday for over a year now … need a break for it.

Thank you so much …. and thanks for stopping by and taking your time to replay. Hope to see you again. *smile
Have fun! “See” you when you get back! 🙂
Thanks, Colleen and you behave now .. while I’m gone. Okay!
Have fun!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
Enjoy your time with your friends. I love this song also.
Thanks … I will
It’s also nice to come back to my old home town for a couple of days – one day I will spend alone with my camera – hope the weather will be good enough.
Will be here Viveka 🙂 Enjoy your break.
Have fun Viveka, or as the phrase from Joe Black goes..”sing with rapture and dance like a dervish”
Thanks Carl, I don’t know if there is going to be any singing or dancing, but if .. I will remember your quote.
Will be right here when you come back Viveka! have a wonderful time 😀 😀
Thanks Andy!
I hope you enjoy(ed) you’re break.
I think it’s hard at times to find the right words and for that reason I like the ‘like’ button.
Thanks a million, what about “LIKEbuttonlike” – I suppose that to only click LIKE means that no time has to be spent on comments – but I like response … don’t have to be for every post, but once in a while. Thanks for stopping by and welcome back.
Go and enjoy.. blogging is for fun and when you can’t keep up..take a break.. we all do.. and no one ever gets cross because you don’t comment… enjoy your time away I’ll be around when you come back my friend…
Thanks …. I promise to do my best – been a busy day today – with the home work; the cleaning … hate it.
Have a great weekend .. see you after the weekend. Thanks a million for your support!
Have a fun weekend away. I know what you mean. I’m getting way behind on everything.
Thanks, Maralee … it’s like a catch 22 at times … feels good with a break. Time for Zumba now.
Have a nice time and fun dear Viveka, Love you, nia
Thanks a million, Nia … see you next week and have a great weekend.
Everyone needs a break sometimes and blogging is definitely a hard work to keep up with!
I hope you enjoy your time away my friend 🙂
Cheers

Uru, so true … I get so stressed sometimes when I see how many new posts I have to read through – a catch 22 really. Wish you a great weekend now.
I know what you mean, Viveka. I don’t just click ‘like’ on blogs, I actually read through them because I enjoy them. Sometimes it takes up time I should be doing other things. So, do what you need to, and I’ll be waiting here for your return. Hugs.
Hugs back, Lori … thanks for your support. *smile
Have a great trip and nurture yourself a little, Viveka. Will enjoy your company again when you’re good and ready.
Thank you so much … I will do my best and you have a pleasant weekend now.
My dear Viveka, would I ever go away and leave you? No way, José 🙂
Take your time, enjoy Gothenburg and your friends and whenever you feel fit to write to and read from us, do so 🙂
Big hug and enjoy your free time 😡 xo 😡
Hug back .. to you! Thanks, Dia! It has been great 2 days so fare – taking off to Gothenburg tomorrow morning.
Weather I hope will be on my side.
See you soon and have a great weekend.
Seriously, where would I go? ; ) Have a wonderful blogging break…enjoy living! I think these types of breaks are good for the soul.
Thanks, Heather … I wish I was going to Chicago instead *smile
Check out hotel prices for July – and I can get Palmer House Hotel for $113 per night. Amazing. Nearly free.
Have a great weekend.
Love this song, Viveka. Have a great time away. See you soon. 🙂
Have a wonderful time!
I’ll miss you 🙂
Linda, you are such a sweetheart.
You don’t have to worry about your readers going anywhere. We all need a little break for some “me time” every once in a while. Have fun!
Karen, thank you so much. I will .. I promise and see you soon.
Enjoy yourself and have a relaxing time, we’ll be here ready and waiting for your next post 😉
Thanks a million and you have a good time to until then.
Enjoy your break Viveka and take all the time you need to feel refreshed, we’ll be there…all standing by you 😉
Thanks, Anyes …. I will – have a great weekend now, because that’s what I’m going to have. *smile
Viveka, I know what you mean I never seem to have time to catch up. Have a wonderful break. Love, love, love this song by the way. Takes me back a few years. 🙂
Susan, you’re so right – it has been great days filled with sunshine up in Gothenburg and it has been … in overall a good break from the blogging too – a couple of more days.
It’s a great song – one of my top favorite. Thanks for your support.
Cheers to your break and trip. Time away is good … and I’ve been away from here far too long! (Hopefully my project is done by mid-March). Here’s something for your return. http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/on-time/
Frank, I’m sure you project will be done in good time – otherwise time out .. is quite nice.
Will click on the link now.
Hi Viveka! Stay warm up there!!!
We have spring in the air … blue sky and sunshine for 4 full days now. Hopefully .. this is the Spring walking slowly against us.
And I imagine SLOWLY is the key word.
Yes … I would say so – but .. it can get lost too .. not the first time. *smile
Lovely song and lovely you…Viveka! have a great time, enjoy every minute – we’ll be waiting here patiently for you. I think everybody should take breaks from the Internet at times…I know what you are talking about… Big Hug
Nice to have you here with me.
Maja
Wonderful to be here – bring on the dinner.
We are here waiting for you Viveka..!:)
No need to explain, just enjoy the time away. 😉
Enjoy your respite! I’ve been away myself and just now back.. it’s the best for revitalizing and renewing! Give your girlfriend a hug for us!! xx
…. thanks for your kind thoughts to my girlfriend. It has been a great break and in honesty I haven’t been missing the blogging that much … miss you, my friends here .. but tomorrow it business as usual.
I came back from my break and started to scroll down on blog’s update, didn’t see any from yours and started to get worried, now everything makes sense.
Enjoy your break.
xx
Yes, it has been a great break .. got so much done and had time for myself. Back tomorrow in full strength. Nice of you to miss me *smile .. how is the restaurant coming on???
Whenever somebody mentions Stand By Me my mind immediately goes to Lean On Me by Bill Withers. One of my favorite songwriters.
Thanks for the visit. Lean on Me .. is a great song to.
