@Vejraska
Ahhh Amy — how sweet (LOL, should I say “how tweet!”)
I admit it has been a week — and I am dealing with both missing twitter yet also getting some things done — and getting ready to write a blog post about it too.

Your comment touched my heart. It is good to be missed — but that is not why I did this — but it is still good to be missed.

I left you a skype message — let’s catch up soon.

Hey Jen,
Just dropping a line here to say Hey! I must admit, twitter seems less fun w/o you there…I twittered that tonite-LOL. BUT, I am glad you are following your heart on this…

Hugs to you-
Amy

@Robin
Yes, I had noticed that you had stepped back — but as you said, there are other ways to communicate!! So, smiles, lets talk soon!

~~~~~~~~
Couple of things I have realized since stopping the twitter.

1. I didn’t know how often I let twitter fill my “empty” time. If I had nothing to do, I would turn to twitter for a “quick fix!” Now I find I am turning to a book, going for a walk, etc.
2. I do miss being able to drop something into twitter. I did not realize how I was using it for letting off steam and also just letting my “gang” know how I was doing. I admit that I do miss that.

I have stepped back as well in the past couple of months and have found that to be ok. Will miss your (grins) but also know there are other ways to communicate and keep in touch. Have a great summer!

Smiles — thanks for your kindness….and I’m glad I have your support! Just please remember to email me if you have something that I just GOTTA see. And smiles, I will see you in August. GO CUBBIES!!!

@Vinnie
Smiles — Trendsetter, I think not. But — balance is a necessity which I need to achieve again. I had let it go for 140 characters of “sometimes fluff” and I need to get back the important things.

You both are good friends! Thanks for taking the time to post.

Jen, balance is best. I congratulate you on making the decision not to get caught up in the momentum that can build with twitter and the various other methods of communication. I too have not been as active and I feel fine. You are a trend setter.

I give it as long as you want it and think that is plain smart!
