as in...
"not one darn thing to say."
at least anything that i think
y'all might find
remotely interesting.
me?
i got nothin'.
my head is utterly and completely
in a blog fog these days.
can you relate?
do you ever feel like you're tossing
thoughts, ideas and images into a
great big void?
or do you feel that the great big void
lies within?
that's sorta where i am these days.
i'm not promoting anything.
i sure as heck ain't selling anything.
no exciting new purchases
or acquisitions to share.
just me and my void...
signing out.

well I would say ya did good for having a void...
ReplyDeletemy mind on the other hand never shuts down and I find not enough days or time to blog about all that I want to.

Fun to see things around ye olde Lorys household. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Day! ~ Sarah
You shared your pictures today, that was nice. Anyway, some sunshine sent your way.

I can relate!;) Love your photos~ Hugs,Rachel

With photos as lovely as yours, words aren't even neccesary. Although it's always wonderful to hear what you have to say, dear Anne!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
I'm so with you right now Anne...
ReplyDeleteOh I go back and forth. Your photos are lovely and that is always worth a blog post!
ReplyDeletebeen there. done that. still doin' it. and ya know what? it's ok.
ReplyDeletehugs,
shelley
Oh sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI so understand and have been in the same place. And you just shared something huge with a whole lot of caring people, some of whom understand what you are talking about.
What I am learning, is that all my busyness just keeps me from dealing with things.
So, now my void time, my 'not being able to create, focus on anything, feel productive or useful, not enjoying anything,wonder what on earth is going on" time, is my "be still and know Him, draw nearer to Him let Him heal me " time.
Lord, I pray right now that Anne will know your peace. That she will see there are seasons for all the feelings we have, and that she will know none of them are bad or wrong, they just are. And that you understand, and are with her through them all. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen
hugs sweet girl. You will come out on the other side of this just fine.
blessings
barbara jean
we all get that- your pics are wonderful as always!!!
ReplyDeletehang in...
Karen
PS That prayer was for me too. =)
ReplyDeleteI have days like that too. I have a 3 and 5 year old. Sometimes at the end of the day, I'm so worn out that I can't even begin to think about doing anything relatively creative. If I do, it usually happens around 12am when I really should be sleeping :) I can relate.
ReplyDeleteOh you have some good blog fodder there! Ahh yes, I have blog fog quite often. But you always seem to have a shining light...no matter how foggy life is.
ReplyDeletehugs....
I so rarely have anything worthwhile to say on my blog! And you have the most fabulous photos...no words needed!
ReplyDeleteWell, heck, Anne...You've left us with some wonderful photos to contemplate during your "fog". Thank you! Hope you have a restful Sunday.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Donna
I also in a blog fog. I need to start posting!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed ya, I'm still alive! Hey, is that you in that petticoat?
ReplyDeletecall ya tomorrow, D
Your photos are gorgeous, Anne. Wishing you a Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteBlog fog is just a part of life. It's o.k. Take a little or big break, relax, don't fret. We know where you are and will be here waiting for you when thing have cleared.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Anne xx
well, that is about the best blog post about nothin' i have read! and the pics ain't bad either girlie! xx c
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely ~ rest, relax and rejuvinate. Your blog fog with clear ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think you said quite a lot. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteYup! I understand Anne. Your photos are beautiful. Have a wonderful week. sandi
ReplyDeleteLove the mail bag and the and the Hot Biscuits (smile) cute!
ReplyDeleteAnne, I could look at photographs of your home all day long! I do know what you mean. After my month of giveaways, I just took a week off. I didn't announce it. Just focused on work and home. Before you I knew it, I haven't posted in a week. Made a list of ideas that I had for blog posts this past week and I'm back in business. I hope you feel inspired again soon!
ReplyDeleteHaving a void is okay sometimes. There's no law that says that we have to post witty, beautiful things on ANY sort of external schedule or to ANYONE else's expectations. Our blogs are our own, and we are the only ones who determine content or frequency. This is my favorite part of blogging. If I have something witty to offer every day, I offer it. If I'm too preoccupied or there's nothing to say, I skip a few days.
ReplyDeleteYa know, even your empty blog posts are beautiful. :)
I hope you get some more stuff into your head real soon.
Connie
sometimes we just run out of words. but your images are always gorgeous. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie, you said plenty with those lovely photos! Sometimes we have no words, but that does not mean we have nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteI pray the coming week will be filled with love, family, friends, a bit of sunshine, and some inspiration.
Well, it is one creative void:) Beautiful pictures dear Anne! Have a blessed Sunday! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anne! I have to tell you that every time I write your name in a comment I always think "Ann with an E" from Anne of Green Gables ;)
ReplyDeleteYES I know how you feel...I seem to feel like that once in a while and struggle to find something to write about. I promise you though...you could take a picture of a blade of grass and we'e be there with you! You did a wonderful job of finding something to photograph and I know each of us enjoyed your post. I hope you have a WONDERFUL Sunday.
Maura :)
I am sure that void will be filled with something beautiful very soon! Sometimes I think I need those times of void to regroup and refocus!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Wendy
Can I come live in your void...it's really quite beautiful! ;-)
ReplyDeleteKat :)
Your void is better than mine any day! I have felt that way for over a month. I just got nothin'.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I have a post planned, but beyond that I am just lost these days. Your photos are gorgeous as always, my friend. I hope life is treating you well otherwise. ;o)
Happy Sunday!
Mary
Anne, your photos are always worth looking at, so if the words don't come, so what? Get passed the " I must post something profound every day " thinking. None of us can be brilliant, witty, entertaining and wonderful every day ( although I come close of course, tehehehehe ). Big hugs to a girl whose photographs are worth a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteSome days it's great to just simply be. Take time to soak in the beauty that surrounds us, and notice the little things that bring us joy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Zuzu
my brain is mush right now, so yeah i get ya!
ReplyDeleteLovely --- with a capital L.

I can relate to that comepletely. I did A post last week that disappeared and now can't think of a thing to post. Maybe tomorrow. Your photos were lovely, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooky...you turned nothin into something!
ReplyDeleteAnne, I think you had plenty to say and share, it's not always about promoting anyone or any thing, sometimes just being yourself and sharing whatever is going on in your life is good for me! I wanted to also thanks for praying for Cruz during this trying time, your comment meant so much. Happy Sunday my friend, T
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to how you feel, I am in it right now. I have an art blog and my new blog which you visited yesterday, thank you, and I have not posted on my art blog in a month which is a first for me. Maybe I should just do as you did here, post some inspiring photographs, sometimes the fewer words the better :)
ReplyDeleteLove you blog, I will be following.
All the time! :] Love all your pretty pics!
ReplyDeleteWhen you have no words, prettiness does good!
Have a lovely day!
Elizabeth
ok, I am jealous!! I know its wrong, but I am drooling over your french pitchers, three!!! eeeekkkk, sooooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteYou know I -totally- understand, Anne. How are things in the home selling part of your life? Nothing new here. It gets discouraging, but we're not giving up! :)
ReplyDeleteYour fellow 2 house friend,
Sheila
now now, girlie ...
ReplyDeleteyou're just too hard on yourself.
heck I just posted about washing dishes ... how boring is that ...
we all love the inner most soul of YOU ...
Let's go into business together.
We could host blog-ventions on all of these poignant issues.
What a beautiful way to just pop in and say hi!
ReplyDelete...right there with ya dear anne. embrace the fog. grab a cup of coffee and a book and some comfy socks.
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for all the gorgeous pictures, though!! Sooo lovely....
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteYou never seem to be short on lovely photos. I've enjoyed each and everyone.
I've kinda been in the same funk.
hugs
Sissie
Hey girlfriend I'm right there with you! After three months of the project from H**L at work - 7 days a week 10-15 hours a day, I only have one brain cell left. Haven't blogged in a month because of no time and now that it's finally winding down - nothing left in my head but fog. I need a good brisk breeze to blow through my head and clear that darned fog out!
ReplyDeleteAwww....thanks
ReplyDeletefor the kudos, Anne.
I think that when
you travel, you do
see things a bit
differently. Maybe
you need a trip to
jump-start those
creative juices?? Up
North would be nice,
hmmmm? Until then,
just LOOK at what is
surrounding you down
there. It's a slice
of heaven, truly. Sit
with it...drink it in.
And then bring on the
view!!
xx Suzanne
You and your "void" sure got a lot of comments! Shows that we love to hear from you, no matter what you have to say! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to have days like that... sooner or later the fog will lift and the void will be filled:)
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful blog speaks otherwise. You said a lot here, beauty, beauty, beauty.
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~
Pretty pictures today Anne.....you know what they say "it is always calmest....before the storm". LOL
ReplyDeletexo
Jo
Thank you for putting into words where I have been... for weeks... and I just can't explain it.
ReplyDeleteIt does help to know there is someone else out there in the "fog"... :)
oh, ya...i do know what you're talkin' about...i think we put a *huge* burden on ourselves to always something worthy to *say*...I am like you...pretty pics but not many words...
ReplyDeleterene
Yes honey I can so relate to this and am actually going through this at the present time.
ReplyDeleteHopefully things will not fog our brains to much longer and we can be inspired with words again
Love ya
Maggie
I can totally relate and often have brain fog and not just with the blog :O)
ReplyDeleteYou still provided a gorgeous post full of exceptional photographs. Hope you're feeling a bit more inspired soon.
Hugs,
Marie
I know...you want or feel the need to blog and have nothing.. It's ok, that's one of the joys of blogging~I think. Your photo's say so much.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day sweetie!
Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, and photos, when you read all the comments, you know you make a difference, just by sharing your mood. We all have the challange to fight the blues, after all we have an administration hell bent on destroying this nation, then many natural disasters, causing sadness. It creats energy that is in the very air, even if we are uninformed. Satan is in the middle just having a fun time. So prayer faith is the key to everything. You make a difference Anne, in saying nothing, you say it all.
Fog always lifts.
Love
Marcie
You don't have to say anything, just seeing your lovely pictures is enough for me (for now!) Sometimes we all have to just be still and be quiet. Your beautiful spirit is still visable!
ReplyDeleteGirl, if I waited until I had something worthy to say or show, I'd never get to talk and you know me...that just wouldn't do!
ReplyDeleteJust start ramblin'. In fact...treat your mind like a photo shoot...just take a second look at your thoughts and rearrange 'em.
Debbie
Blog fog, love that term, I seem to be there too. Someone asked me when I was going to post again and I said when I had something to say or share..I too got nothin'. Your nothing sure is full of pretty somethings! Have a wonder filled day!
ReplyDeleteHi there Anne,
ReplyDeleteI am just ready to take my painting gear and come out to stay at your house. You blog is an inspiration for the quiet yesteryear. Thank you so much.
Blessings
Heidi
Anne,
ReplyDeleteYou need not say a word, your photos say it all!!
Inspiration in all you do :)
I too have been in a fog! a gray one over at my place, perhaps today I will be inspired by simple things in life...see you soon!
xox
Dore
Ah, but you do have Hot Biscuits!
ReplyDeletexo Cathy
I hope you realize that you bring smiles to all of us.
ReplyDeleteI have WEEKS of feeling like that!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos..and sentiments. Thanks for posting!
Blessings,
Myrna
anne your beauitful images say so much. there is always so much beauty shared but i do know that feeling that leaves me feeling in a fog.
ReplyDeletedid somedody mention hot bisquits? yum!
Ha Ha I can sure relate..........but I still enjoyed your pictures!! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's a sad truth... my mind is always a void. So - I totally get ya...
ReplyDelete;-D
xoxoxoxo
robelyn
You said it in pictures....which I thoroughly enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteyou don't even need words! Your pic speak for themselves :) It is funny because I usually write my posts & go erase 1/2 the words because I don't want to ramble on so :) Wish I was a little quieter :) Nothin' to say...that would be nice :)
ReplyDeleteHI silly little Anne! Honey, you talk with your snaps, did you know that? These are just lovely snaps from around your home. Just rest your little head and your ideas will come back. I never have any ideas - I'm just a silly! ;)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
No need for words. Your perfect photo images speak volumes!!
ReplyDeleteDid you hear I'm hosting my Wedding Blog Party and Giveaway on June 10th? I do hope you will join us as I'm sure you would share such sweet things!! Read all about it on my blog!
Big TX Hugs,

for someone with nothin to say, you sure found some pretty pics to entice us! I've been in a bit of a blog fog too, even though we're now in Dubai - there's just so much to do but i'm not getting out like I had wanted... it's just too darn hot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting on my blog .. you know I love ya' .. unconditionally .. I hear what you say about having nothing to say .. if I were a better photo taker I would post pics of the things I see .. had a post all drawn up about some shoes I saw hanging on a telephone wire .. then find out they aren't a symbol of someone passing, but a symbol of the availability of drugs .. kind of takes the heartstrings right out of it .. lol!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the horseshoes .. my Daddy started that collection .. and ringing them around the railing just seemed like the right thing to do ..
ok .. the mirror? .. no not for sale .. Rod got that in Canton for me .. $25 .. see you really need to plan a trip to Canton .. it could show you a good time .. lots of cool stuff there .. and tons of photo opportunities .. except now, you have to ask people if you can take pics, esp if it's of their booth ..
Again, thank you ..
love, Troy
My problem is that I need a void. My head is always full of stuff, and the "stuff" wakes me up at night, wanting to get out. I have ideas at 4 in the morning, and it's a struggle to stay in bed. I need to learn how to meditate.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya! I've been feeling as though I were in a bit of a fog as well, infact I'm in one as I write this! Loved the pics around the Lorys home, can't wait to see more!
ReplyDelete~Brooke
I feel ya sister! But you know something exciting will come up soon and you'll have plenty to talk about and share. Your photos always make me happy so keep em coming. ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs~

Awww you have the loveliest surroundings Anne! Just looking at your pictures gave me some much needed inspiration! Love the hot biscuits linen! xo ~Lili
