Time-Out
Every now and again in life we come across a bump or hurdle. It can come in our relationships, our finances or as in my case, health.
Right now I've been forced to take some time-out in regards to writing new posts but I endeavor to continue reading your blogs, commenting and participating in BC discussions as and when I can.
Feel free to browse my archive of posts as you may find something of interest. I'll respond to any comments, opinions or thoughts as always. I'll be back again soon.

DeleteYour voice will be missed, but taking care of yourself and whatever it is in your life that requires your attention right now.is most important.
ReplyDeleteTake care, looking forward to when you're able to put your time and attention back into your writing.
Karen, I'm so chuffed that you said my voice will be missed. It makes me feel 'worth-it', so thank you for bringing the sunshine into my day. I will be back soon, and hope you have a wonderful week.
DeleteI do hope your healing is quick! Take care~
ReplyDeleteThanks to the British NHS aftercare, my healing will be longer than usual, but can I complain when it's all free of charge?
DeleteDear rpd, I'm sorry you and your partner are going through this hard time. I hope you receive some better news soon.
ReplyDeleteWell, we've got another stage to go through and I hope all will be well, but life has a way of taking you down different roads when you least expect it. Thank you so much for your your support and friendship along the way NP. I don't forget...........
DeleteI'll be standing guard for all your time out.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for you and hoping you will be back in all splendor soon.
Take care RPD, neither I will forget you any time soon, you know!
I know for sure Od Liam.... And I'm not the sort to forget either.... Oh how I enjoy your blog so much, very unique and individual. Keep up the great work mate.

ReplyDeleteThanks Launna, and that's right. I need to get well first in order to continue as before.
DeleteRPD, I'm sending you healing vibes and well wishes for a speedy recovery. Feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteHelena, I'm doing all I can to heal quickly right now but unfortunately the NHS after-care has spoiled the process. Well, my complaint is in and I look forward to their reply...
DeleteThanks Helena
Take care of your health. Nice being a part of this blog.
ReplyDeleteWe will surely miss your posts!

ReplyDeleteJulie
Julie, thank you. Even if I don't do a post I will make sure I visit your blog. Have a great week :)
DeleteMy good friend,
ReplyDeleteAlong the road, we stumble into the occasional pothole. We reach out and the hands of friendship pull us out. We then continue on.
I am sorry that you are having a struggle. Your priority has to be you and your well being. Please take care of YOU.
In kindness,
Gary
Gary, you have always been such a great inspiration to me. One day I will tell you ALL. Yes, we all have struggles and sometimes that quick-sand is not as frightening as one may think.
DeleteHope you heal fast. Take lots of care of yourself. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, I will do my best lovely Angie. BC has always been a breath of fresh air. I'll be showing up there when I can. Take care mate x
DeleteLife does tend to throw us a curve ball now and then... I am sorry to hear you are struggling with your health. My prayers are with you as you take the time you need to recover and recharge!! I trust that as you recuperate, your writing ideas will accumulate en masse! :) Take care of yourself...
ReplyDeleteMelody, you are a special person for reasons I will explain later. Your blog has a way of making me think real deep and it gives me a slap in the face on more occasions than I dare to mention. I hope to be back soon too. Have a lovely week.
DeleteHi RPD - Yes, we all need some time out. I have been having a little of this recently. We all need it - and it brings back some perspective and priority back to life. Don't been gone too long.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Lanthie. I'm trying my best to keep up with reading other blogs instead of writing my own posts but I do hope to return to that soon. Hope you are still doing well with your new life too.
Deleteget well soon and hope to see you posting as regularly again!...
ReplyDeleteHello Ziva, I do hope that you also return soon because for a long while I haven't been able to get on to your blog. Is it back up and running? Take care mate and keep in touch.
DeleteAs a long term health problems "carrier", I know nothing is more important than our health. Sorry to hear that you are not well. Hope you have good time rest and care yourself, and hope your recovery is on the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yun Yi. I've managed to also lose a bit of weight because I'm not eating as much, so I guess, some good has come out of all of this. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteRum-Punch Drunk, I feel as sad as that frowning face to hear of this! However, getting yourself healthy comes first before blogging, and taking a time-out is very understandable. Please know that you will be greatly missed! And thanks for stopping by my blog, I always love your comments. Rest and take care of yourself. Be well! I’m sending lots of healing thoughts your way!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy visiting your blog JerseyLil, it's such a mixture of laughter, food, your lovely garden, with some personal life issues, not forgetting the lovely Coco. And I've got to make that great looking Irish Stew too.
DeleteIt's good to hear from you, have a great weekend.
I know I don't write in often but when think of all the support and encouragement you have given others it makes me feel good to see you getting all the well wishes from the bogging community. Get well soon RPD... whoever you may be...
ReplyDeleteHey, it's great to hear from you again and I'm so glad that you're still reading my blog. I always try to encourage others when I can because a kind or positive word at the right moment, can change your whole week or get you out of a dark hole. Hope you will visit again Theocrat :)
DeleteHey Rum Punch,
ReplyDeleteI just saw this. So sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope you get well soon. Take care of yourself first as blogging can wait. You have my prayers.
Thanks for your prayers Phil. Dare I visit your blog and see all that wonderful food that you have on display? Food I can only stare at whilst the spit dribbles down my chin. YES..
DeleteTake care of yourself then.
ReplyDeleteWe will look forward to your posts!
I will do just that Julia. Thanks mate.
DeletePraying, praying, praying for you Rum Punch! Rest when you need to and take all of the time you need. We will all be here awaiting your return. Hugs to you RP. Be well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much MMM. Your prayers are with me right now. Have a lovely weekend too.
DeleteI just took a long blogging break and am slowly returning to the web. I'm sorry you've hit a bump in the road of life. I hope everything is okay and you come back soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to catching up with you again Lauren and I do hope that all is well with you too. I'll be back again soon :) and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHang in there, Rumpunch. We'll be happy when you return but please take your time. "Real life" comes first! I hope things get better for you soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janene, you can't do a much if you haven't got your health, so I will take care with some time.
DeleteYou didn't specify what the problem was Rum, but I hope it isn't too serious. I'll miss your thought-provoking posts, and I hope you will be back soon with more.
ReplyDeleteI've had major open surgery and was left with an open stomach wound that's taking it's time healing, and the other half was diagnosed with cancer, melanoma, which we hope has been caught early enough and still undergoing more tests to see if it's spread anywhere else.
DeleteI'm still around to read blogs though, so I'm not too far away from the blogging scene :)
Oh, dear. I am truly sorry that you are walking this difficult road right now. Please give yourself permission to grieve and process your loss, and give yourself the mental room to make the necessary decisions that must be made when you feel least prepared to make good ones! :( Life is so very, very challenging. I pray that your heart will receive the strength it needs to do battle with this latest hurdle! We all need courage to 'do' life well. I feel your courage in your words - you got this!
DeleteRum Punch,
ReplyDeleteGet well soon! Everyone here misses you and we look forward to your next post! God bless!
Napoleon
Thanks Napoleon. I'll be catching up with you again soon mate.
DeleteI hope you feel better soon. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well too Jamie. What have you been up to recently? And thanks for the nice comment.
DeleteChecking in with you. So sorry you're not feeling well. I hope it's nothing serious and you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Diana
I hope it all ends well Diana, but who can predict the future? Hoping you have a wonderful week and I'll be round soon :)
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to read that you are not well. Thought provoking, intelligently written blogs are not so widely available in the Blogosphere so you will be very much missed.
We do, however, believe that it is not the happy, easy times in life that make a person but rather the times which are bumpy and difficult. Whatever, we send good wishes for when you reach the end of the tunnel......which you surely will!
Thank you so much for your kind words Jane and Lance. Your right about the hard times shaping a person, and boy, have I had my fair share of it.
DeleteSorry you have to take time out, but I sure understand. It happens to me from time to time too.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Donna, and I hope you are doing well in regards to your health. It's hard thing to deal with when your mind is willing but your body is weak.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope they resolve soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Bryan :) Hope you have an enjoyable week.
DeleteHey RPD,
ReplyDeleteI know you are into "not so good times" of your life right now. But it's just a phase. It will pass and you'll be as healthy as horse again soon. Also, I pray that your better half recovers quickly as well. Just keep up the hope and positivity. Get well soon! May God bless you. :)
Thanks Esabella, and thanks for all your support along the way. I appreciate it.
DeleteI am just soooooo happy to have you back here, dear friend! XO Missed you!
ReplyDeleteI'm just doing short bursts at the moment MM, reading/commenting on other blogs. Can't wait to hear about your trip when you return. Ciao for now.
DeleteLooking forward to your posts again, RPD. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI will Corinne, and thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteTake care buddy, i hope you get back on your feet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony, I'm sure all will be well soon. Have a wonderful week too.
DeleteSorry to hear that ! Hope you feel better soon x
ReplyDeleteThank you My Froley. I'll be over when I can. Have a lovely week and enjoy the warm weather we are having right now.
DeleteYou know I send my finest wishes from across the big pond. I,too, have my challenges and just remember that we are in this together ... Life that is. Everyday is a new day. Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and I will make sure I get round to finding out more about you. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by here and I hope you have a read of some of my other posts in the meantime too.
DeleteEnjoy the rest of the week :)
I hope you can come back soon.
ReplyDeleteXOXO!
So do I Fashion Lover. Nice to hear from you :)
DeleteRPD, I am so sorry to hear about your health issues. I read many of the comments from others before writing this comment. You have clearly impacted the lives of many people through your insightful blog posts. I always enjoy reading what you write. I will be praying for a speedy and complete recovery for you. I'm expecting to hear from you again in the not too distant future. Until then, may favor and healing from God be yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your prayers Frank. I follow your blog carefully and you have inspired me quite a lot and brought me back to a place where I should be when times were rough. I've also enjoyed listening to your podcasts too. Hope you have a wonderful week. The weather has been quite nice in London for the past few days, so I'm making sure I get out a little to enjoy it.
DeleteOh dear! I didn't know about your boo-boo.
ReplyDeleteI hope you recover soon. You're a very nice person my friend. You deserve all the best and a healthy life.
Kisses, kisses, kisses...
Love,
Ana
Thank you so much Ana. See you soon.
DeleteHope things are going alright Rum-Punch!
ReplyDeleteWell, we're heading in the right direction. Fingers crossed :)
DeleteJust catching up. Sorry to hear that you have been unwell. I hope that you are on the way to good health again. I look forward to reading your posts when you are able to write again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simone. I'll be around shortly too. Take care my friend.
DeleteI keep stopping by hoping to read more from you. Hope everything is okay.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you today MM. I hope to be back soon, I'm just taking this opportunity to relax, recoup and read blogs etc. I'll be sending you an email soon. Enjoy the rest of this weekend.
DeleteI'm so sorry it took me so long to see this post! I really hope you feel better soon Rum, it's just not the same without your discussions :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Jade, and it's very nice to hear from you and I'll be catching up soon :)
DeleteHey Rum Punch!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say hello. Hope all is going well.
Yes, all is going down the right road so far Phil. Thanks for keeping a check on me though. Always looking forward to reading and SEEING your mouth watering posts...
DeleteI totally relate RPD, for I have just crossed, jumped and still jumping a big hurdle in my life. Take all the time you need, be good to yourself, and do good things for yourself.
ReplyDeleteMadison
Thank you so much Madison. That's what I'm trying to do right now. It's not always easy but I'm glad to have gotten to know you along the way. Thanks for your support.
DeleteI have been thinking about you and wondering how your wife is doing. I sure hope that she is well and you both are doing fine. Take good care, Annie
ReplyDeleteWe're both doing good right now Annie, and taking time out to think. I feel less of a pressure not having to knock out a post right now although I'm still reading other blogs etc. Thank you kindly for stopping by and I hope your health is even better than it was when I read your blog. Enjoy the weekend.
DeleteI am still keeping guard in your castle door as the Queen's Guards!
ReplyDeleteI guess you and your loved ones are caryiing on.
Miss you and your posts, too!! :)
I am footing the world again. Had to perform some jobs for Deutsche Bank in Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, now in Singapore. Then I will end up in Berlin, and then back to my HQ. If luck helps.
I am missing my lonely hotel room, and the opportunity to write tales.
Be happy!! Don't lose time!
Missing you too Od. I'm still on a break for the time being and sorry I took so long to reply. Seems like you are pretty busy yourself, with all that travelling. Make sure you have a nice cup of hot cocoa when you get back, and keep up those posts mate.
DeleteAck, So sorry to hear about your health problems, and sorry I didn't hear about it sooner. I was just coming on to see what your up to and now I'm reading this bad news.
ReplyDeleteI hope they have the right treatments for you and that you kick this.
Keep your chin up.
We are both doing very well PBScott and thanks for your concern. I'll be around BC more now but still on a break here. See you soon.
DeleteWe miss you! Your blog was full of wisdom, street smarts, and fun! We all hope (and pray, if that's okay) for your return to good health! Many hearts are pulling for you.
ReplyDeletePray is always good Carol, and we are doing good. I shall be round to see you again soon. Plus I'll be around BC too. Enjoy the rest of the week.
DeleteI've missed you. I was thinking about you this morning again. I hope your health woes are being attended to. Hugs across the ocean to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI felt that hug Diana and all is well across the ocean right now. I miss you to and must stay in touch. Hope you are enjoying some lovely weather over there, as it's been lovely and warm here for the past week or so. Seems like summer is trying to show her lovely face.
DeleteI hope everything is going okay.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken so long with my reply, but all is well apart from having a fight with the authorities that be.
DeleteYou have been missed! I am waiting, and waiting... It's already long time since you wrote on your blog. I hope everything is going well in your life.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you from me.
Kaya, I'm sorry for not responding earlier. We are doing well at the moment but other things have come up in between so I've put blogging on hold for the moment. I hope to get back at some point, but I'm not sure when. I also hope to continue passing by when I can. It's nice to know when you're missed, so a big thank-you for making my day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of this wonderful weekend.
RPD, I have missed your insightful blog posts. But I know that you are doing what's more important at this time. I will continue to pray that God will bless you with health and much inspiration to sit in the blogging seat again. Just wanted to stop by and say hello.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your message Frank and I always welcome your prayers/blessings. I've started another job too, so my hands are full right now because it's a complete change of career. I look at my blog every now and again but a little concerned that my time is real tight, not to mention, the lack of sleep not helping. I hope to pop round soon, but not so sure when I'll be writing a post yet.
DeleteHope you have an enjoyable week. If fact, give your lovely wife a good hug from me :)
Hallo dear RPD, I have missed this post, and now I understand why I had no signs by your side recently !
ReplyDeleteWell, let me wish you all the best for your health... I hope you are already getting better and to see you soon with us, plenty of people are looking for you and your thoughts on life !
good luck from Massimo !!
Ciao Massimo. I missed stopping by too, so I'm sorry about that. I just explained to Frank above what's happening right now. I will try to make more of an effort to keep in touch with everyone, but it's a bit hard with a different job now. My health has improved a lot so I'm very happy. I shall speak to you again soon Massimo.
DeleteWe miss you! How are you and I hope the answer is that you'll be back soon!
ReplyDeleteI really want to come back soon but work has taken up more of my time recently, especially because it's a completely new area to me. I miss blogging though and hope to stay in touch.
DeleteA new career! Well, well, well! You do know how to bite in large chunks, don't you? ;) Glad to know that your world is looking a little greener these days. Looking forward to some more of your wit and charm when you have the time to spare it!
ReplyDeleteYes, very large chunks Melody, but let's hope I don't choke but chew gently, ha ha ha ha. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes during the past year, not to mention the support you've given me along the hard way :)
DeleteThinking about you again. See you have a new job, so your energy must be better. Hope it continues to fly high. Sending you sunny days from Campbell River on Vancouver Island.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sunny days Diana. The weather has been absolutely brilliant these past few weeks. Mr Cloud has tried to show his gloomy face a few times but the Mrs Sun is winning at the moment. Thinking of you too :)
DeleteHello Rum Punch!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and that you are feeling better. I see from the comments here you have started a new career path. Wishing you a lot of success!
Thanks Phil. I'm adjusting to my new role nicely as well as also keeping the old one too. I'm a little tired but thoroughly enjoying it.
DeleteMiss your blog posts. Com back. We ALL miss you.
ReplyDeleteHey Mama. Missing you too. I'll have to try catching you via email but all is well this end. Hope all is better at your end with those horrible comments. You know they are just so jealous of you, and it's a blessing in disguise :) Swimming against the tide is hard but you get a very good work-out in the process.
DeleteRPD, hope you are enjoying your new job. May you continue to get better, physically. Hope to see you blogging again in the not to distant future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank. I'm loving my new role right now, but the hours are quite odd for me and I'm trying to adjust accordingly, which makes me a bit tired. Hope you and your family are well. I want to come back but it's just finding the right time to do everything.
DeleteI hope you are well and happy. Life goes on, new interests are found and adventures continue. Take care and live life to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been so long. I'm very busy at the moment but missing blogging like mad now. Hope you are doing well and as always, if I can pop round I will.
DeleteIt's great you have a new job now. What kind of work are you doing?
ReplyDeleteThe best to describe it is by saying I help those who are unable to help themselves and it's hard work sometimes but I'm really enjoying it. Completely different from my other job which I still do.
DeleteWell...we're missing your interaction, where are you?
ReplyDeleteHey Angie, I've missed all the blogging too, I'm trying to stay in contact at BC and recently started to comment there again. Hope you're well and having a good time with life. Hope you have an enjoyable week Angie.
DeleteExtraordinary photos.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! I love the textures.
Best Regards :)
Thanks Andres, so for such a late reply
Deletehallo dear RPD,
ReplyDeletethis is telepathy ! this morning I was reading some comments on my blog and i thought about you ! i wanted to come to your blog to see the news...
I am reading some of the comments to have an up-dating !
I miss you, and you are like a conscience... we need it !
I hope you are well and everything is fine with you ! all the best , saluti cari !
Sorry this is so late, but I'm doing well at the moment and every now and again, I check out a couple of blogs when I can. Sorry again that I've not been around much. Grazie dei saluti, che ricambio con gli'nteressi!
DeleteWas still hoping to see if you posted something new. I own you an email but I'm trying to find your last one in my files. It seems to have disappeared. Can you re-send it?
ReplyDeleteFound your last email and just sent a message to you---hope you got it!
ReplyDeleteHey Mama, hope your book is selling well and I got the email and replied. Make sure you leave the details here as well just in case someone comes across to have a read...
DeleteWill be in touch again soon, take care mate, and apologies for such a late reply to you here.
I hope you to continue with the work to date have this done in a great way. I animao thereto.
ReplyDeleteAffectionate greeting from Gran Canaria - Canary Islands (Spain)
I do hope to get back to this one day, but as for now, I don't know when that day will be :(
DeleteHello my friend. Just wanted to drop by and offer New Year wishes. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteHiya Phil. So good to hear from you again. Wishing you and all your family a very Happy and prosperous New Year mate, and I must stop by to see what you're up to soon. Time is going by so quickly....
DeleteHello Friend,
ReplyDeleteHope everything is fine at your end. I don't know how I lost touch with you...sorry!! Wishing You A Very Happy New Year:)
A very Happy New Year Epsita, and hope that you and all your loved ones will be greatly blessed.
DeleteI was so happy to get from you a comment. I came to check if you are writing again and you are not.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a Happy New Year. May 2015 will be the best year ever for you!
Greetings from Kaya
Kaya, I'm wishing you all the best for this year, and thanks for checking on me. I've just popped over to your blog today but it's in a different langauage so I'm going to have to get help with what to do, as I'm not such a tech with computers.
DeleteI'm just checking back with you. Wondering how you are doing. You were such a sweetheart to visit my blog on a regular basis and leave your wise comments. I hope you are feeling better and that 2015 for you and loved ones will go well. Best, Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana, and I'm always sorry for such late replies to you and others. I'm not sure what's happening right now, but hoping that this year will sort everything out. Hope you are well, and I will try to visit when I can.
Deletestill swinging by in the hopes that you are back blogging----I miss reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to drop by, see how you were and let you know I thinking about you... I hop you are okay ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Launna, thanks for thinking about me and I know this is real late, so sorry and I hope to pop over soon. Take care for now and I'll leave my print when I pass by.
DeleteStill missing you, my friend. Hope everything is better <>
ReplyDeleteHey MM, yes it's been a while and I promise to visit soon and leave my calling card, ha ha. I hope you are well and the book is bringing home the bacon. Missing you all like crazy, I really must do more to keep in touch.
DeleteJust checking in. You were always one of the biggest supporters of A Brainless Nod, and so I hope to someday catch up with you. Would be awesome to get a chat with you, see what all has happened and how things are going. Anyways, hope you are doing well and that this finds you as good as it can.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan, what a lovely surprise and so good to hear from you again. I must catch up with you soon as I'm sure you've had many changes in your life since I last heard from you. How's the lovely wife doing too?
DeleteI'll stop by soon to have a good read :)
Everything is going really well. College has been a blast, even at close to 40. The wife is enjoying it as well. Starting our 2nd year, way too many credit hours, but so far 2 of the classes are almost blow off classes. *knock on wood*
DeleteIts interesting trying to do a serious attempt at a blog again, my newest two posts skyrocketed past the highest viewed posts on the blog all together. Still don't have people click ads, but the fact that I'm getting more viewer ship is heartening in a way. It gives me renewed interest in working on it.
But yeah, definitely miss you and a few others from the blogging world. Yours and my other fave blog site both kinda went on hiatus, buts its been good to read between the lines to see that your issues are alleviating a bit.
Hi Dan. It is always nice when people stop by to have a read, after all, we write and hope others will see it. Just left you a comment Dan, and good to hear you are doing well, but watch out for those haters too, and remember, they can make you a better person in the long run.....
DeleteFinally got a book published. Figured I'd stop by and say hi and make sure you were okay, since...you know...you aren't on social media. You active anywhere online at the moment?
DeleteHi Dan
DeleteSo good to hear all is well with you and you've got a book published at last. You've done well mate, and I'm wishing you all the best with it too. Leave a link here just in case anyone wants to have a read or buy it.
Apart from checking here every so often, I'm only on BlogCatalog when I get time, and sometimes I stop by to have a read of other blogs, so I'm not on any other social media. Who knows what tomorrow holds for me? Take care Dan, and hope you stop by again soon.
I was reading an old post of mine and saw a comment from you... it made me wonder about how you were doing. I do hope you are well, I miss your insightful blog posts :-)
