I'm taking a break from SR.
A real honest to goodness ibreak

I don't like wasting threads on me, or worse, making this into a 'thing' when it's not....but it's better this way than sending out a million PMs

This is not a sudden move or an ill considered one.
I'm not mad, or upset, or thinking of drinking

I am out of balance though - and I figure I better stand behind the advice I give so often here about how vital balance is.

My music is growing ever bigger and more demanding, and I love that - but I need to re-figure where all the other bits of me go now.

I've never bought the idea I, or anyone else here, is indispensable.

I have no doubt that SR will continue to be the same excellent source of support it's always been - because of you guys...

I intend to come back - this is not a goodbye...but it is simply see ya... for a bit

You will be missed while you are gone, but it's certainly understandable to take a break every now and then. (((HUGS)))

Have a great break Dee. Tend to yourself. Tend to your music. We cannot have an unbalanced Dee. We will be here when you get back

Thanks for all you've done Dee. Not sure there are words enough to express my gratitude or the magnitude of your contributions here. I wish you the best wherever the next path may take you .

Do what you need to do - you've certainly earned a good break! We will miss you, but will look forward to your return! Enjoy your time away.

Oh my! I have often wondered how you manage to be such a constant presence on SR, always with just the right words of support or questions to guide someone to making a better choice.

Take good care of yourself, Dee!

I am going to miss you too but I am really glad that you are re-balancing yourself and also that your music career is taking off.
