When I began this blog two and a half years ago, I had no real sense of how it would unfold, but after reading other bloggers I follow, I decided to post five days a week. Having reached 550 posts and 30,450 hits in that time I proved to myself I could do it, and in that time I also garnered 349 followers–thank you one and all.
I have every intention of continuing to write, but have decided its time to cut back a little. As many of you who blog know, each draft takes about 2 – 3 hours with the actual cooking, photography, writing, editing and indexing. Much of this takes place on the weekend when I do all those tasks plus set up a queue of drafts to be published in the week ahead. This doesn’t leave me much time for anything else.
I’ve enjoyed all of this immensely, and one 0f the best parts is hearing from so many of you through your comments.
In August, I will be entering another dance competition. So I have only two months to get myself in good condition with exercise and training. I’ll be spending more time at the dance studio and need to stay focused. I also have some other projects I want to spend some time on.
You will certainly continue to get posts from me, but with less regularity and I may broaden the scope of the blog to include some other things that I do and that interest me.
Thanks for sticking with me and I’ll be “talking” with you soon.

Good luck with the upcoming competition.

Thank you for your good wishes. You probably know this from your involvement with your daughters and their competitions, but the farther you advance the more difficult it becomes, thus all the preparation and conditioning. C.

It certainly is a time commitment, no matter what the competition. But when you enjoy it, it’s just fun. Keep on having fun!

Thanks Deb, I need to remember that when competition arrives, it’s a chance to dance and have fun. All the work goes beforehand, and if I haven’t mastered a step or technique by competition time, well, it’s too late to worry about it.:)
