Blogging After a Break

Taking a long break from blogging can seem strange after years of regular postings. You may feel awkward yourself, and your readers may rightly wonder what is wrong or whether you are still around. Still, hopefully you will not lose your audience but rather keep them in suspense! And more importantly,  you will gain rather than lose momentum.

Actually, I look forward to receiving comments from my readers on their thoughts during my absence from the blogosphere. Perhaps some readers needed a break themselves from reading the blog! Perhaps others could have served as guest bloggers here had they been invited. In retrospect that seems to have been possible and preferable to keeping the blog idle for so long; apologies to my faithful readers near and far.

In any case, when you feel uninspired, in need of recharging, or simply too busy with other concerns, by all means take a break from blogging. I am not suggesting you stop altogether. Just press pause.

A teacher with interesting students and exciting work will naturally want to return to blogging when time allows. Don’t force it. Just let it flow. A blog is like a stream, uneven at times but flowing again when the time is right – a quiet stream that fades into the deep blue ocean.
