Following two weeks away from blogging, I was really raring to get back to it. I had tons of ideas, I craved my old routine, and I just really missed y’all.
But since my return to the blog, I have found that my head is somewhere else. All the ideas I had, I can’t seem to muster the energy to sit down and write about them. When it comes to responding to comments (something I pride myself on), I’m completely lagging. I’ve never been one to half-ass things; if I’m going to blog, I want to do it to the standards that I’ve set for myself, and right now, that just isn’t happening.
So I’ve decided to step back for a while. No new blog posts, no responding to comments, and I don’t know that I’ll be commenting on your blogs either. (I might, but I don’t want to set unrealistic expectations.) It’s been a tremendously hard month, and I think I need some time to reevaluate things in my life and figure out how I really want to spend my time. Time is something more precious than we give it credit for it, and I want to make sure that I’m completely satisfied with how I spend the time I have.
I thought about just disappearing, not posting any more, but I could never do that to you guys. When I started blogging, I figured it’d mostly be read by people who knew me in real life. I’ve been really lucky that so many wonderful strangers stumbled upon my blog, came back day after day to read the strange things I type up, and even leave sweet comments. You’ve laughed with me, you’ve supported me, and you took the time to read my blog. It’s more than I ever expected, and (during these recent hard times especially) it has meant a lot to me. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of myself with you.
I’ve also deleted my twitter, but if you want to stay in touch, shoot me an email – armyamy38@yahoo.com.
With that, I bid you farewell.
Your blog is my favorite! But you gotta do what you gotta do
Boo!! I mean, I know you have your reasons (and I support them all 100%), but I’m truly going to miss my daily dose of Amy. Okay, I know that’s selfish. Now…. Back to being your #1 fan (shortly after Stephen, g-mo, and your mom)
Love!

I completely understand. You have been through so much lately. Please know I support you but will certainly miss your blog. Please keep in touch. Hugs!
Aww, sorry to hear this but you gotta do whatever makes you happy. Take care for now. I’m sure you’ll be back to blogging at some point. Everyone needs a break sometimes.
Well, this is a bummer because yours is the first blog I read each day, but considering I haven’t blogged in two months, I totally get it. Like, TOTALLY. I don’t have the energy either to come with anything to write, either. It literally hurts my brain to try to put something in words so I don’t even attempt it any more. But still…phooey. I’m going to miss your writing so very much. I hope this time away is exactly what you need to get your head back together…and hey, if you manage to do so, please pass on your secret to me because I could use a few tips. Best wishes to you. And try to see if Stephen can get stationed in Hawaii, instead. I need a buddy! Big hugs to you!!
The saddest news of my life! Or close. I feel like I should be doing something, saying something… but I don’t know what. Just… I’ll miss you, Amy dear. I’ll be here for you always. Love and hugs!
I understand. Though, I am sorry to no longer receive your interesting blogs! Very best of the future for you and those you hold dear – and do visit me, here in central africa, from time to time!
I will miss reading your blog every day but you have to do what feels right for you.
Luv u!
Aww, I’m going to miss your blog! I agree with everyone else though…you should do what you want/need to do. Blogging should be fun and something you enjoy spending your time doing, so if you’re not loving it, you shouldn’t do it!
Whoa! I think a lot of bloggers are reevaluating lately, especially those in the health and fitness world. I can imagine it being a bit daunting, almost a blow to your privacy. Anyway, you will be missed but it’s all about doing what you need to! Take care and stop by and say hi once in awhile!
I’m going to miss your blog very much, and chatting with you on The Twitter. But I completely understand your need to step back. Know that if you one day decide to return, we’ll all be here to support that too.
This is sad, but you gotta do what’s right for you! I’ll miss you!
Aw, I’ll miss you! But I understand where you’re coming from. Be well
That’s sad, as a new blogger myself, I was just getting into your blog. I wish you the best though. ~ The Guard Wife
Proud of you for taking care of you!! We’ve been thinking about you and our hearts hurt for you, Stephen and the rest of your family! We’ll still be here!
Oh Amy
I was thinking of you last night *weird!* and came to check on your page today to find this. So sad 
Loved reading you and I’m sorry I’ve missed out on the last few months. It was great while it lasted.
Feel free to check in on my journal now and then!
Awww! This makes me really sad. Good luck wherever life takes you!
Sad to see you go.
Hope to see you back soon and that this month is better than last!
