Feeling Old and Tired
Due to events of the past few days, I am slow of mind and body today, unexpectedly in need of quiet and solitude. Be back as soon as I can.

Hello Ronni,
You deserve a day of solitude and rest.
Take your time coming back.
You're worth waiting for.

I hope it's just a bout of spring fever and nothing lasting. Our thoughts are with you.

Ronni
It happens to the best of us!
Take it easy, take care and recharge your battery.
I know just how you feel, I've been going through the same thing for days. LOL

As the boss of this outfit, you get to choose when to take a day off for mental health. Quietly and patiently awaiting your return to vibrancy.

You express my exact words this morning.
Will just leave it at that.
Rest, peace and quiet are what we need.
If you can - Sit in the sun and just be still.

Ronni, take care and recharge your batteries. I know that feeling.

Ronni, I'll take this opportunity to again thank you for the meaningful work you do. Rest well and know you are supported.

Ronni, I am surprised that you are able to make entries in your blog every single day. You are entitled to a vacation. Take as long as you want to enjoy the freedom to do as you wish and to ignore obligations. We will wait.

Ronni,
A day of rest is the best! You are an inspiration to so many of us who are aging and who sometimes feel "old and tired" too. Indeed, it is thanks to you and your blog that I know I am more understanding and accepting of myself (and others) those days when I feel that way. As we get older it is natural to feel it.
Sending hugs and thoughts your way.

Dearest Ronni, I support you and love you, especially now as you pause, belatedly. This "time out" gifts you with a chance to do... nothing or next to it. Take your time simply to be. We are here, learning from your example and guiding light.

You deserve a break today to recharge your battery. Just know that you are loved by all. Take your time out and enjoy it.

Shhhhhhh . . . special person resting.
Posted by: Lydia on May 12, 2008 9:15:45 PM
Just a hug. And a smile.

Salt air and sunshine, some naps, some reading, some warm conversation -- I wish these all for you. And also what Mage B. said!
:-)

I hope you're plugged in to whatever recharges you. :-)

Ronni,
I am sending you a large "Do Not Disturb" sign. Put it out and you get to decide when to take it back in.
We will try to keep quiet!

Hi Ronni -- I am so glad that you are taking some "me-time" and not threatening to shut down Times Goes By entirely. Please enjoy your days, doing whatever pleases you: rest, eat chocolate, or fresh fruit, or your joy. Peace and blessings.

You just do what is best for you. I realized a few years ago that it's n ot only okay to be good to yourself -- it's essential! Go for it!
