Sometimes you just have to take a break.

For awhile there I was writing blog posts and checking other people's blog posts and generally checking Active Rain three times a day.  Then for some reason, I decided to take a little break.  I wanted to see what the rest of the world was talking about and doing.  I actaully wanted to see if there was a world outside of real estate.

I think part of it came on when I decided to devote time to my other blog and part of it was bought on by attending the Virginia REBar Camp.  I always knew there were blogs out there that discussed a lot of other things that I wasn't finding either on Active Rain or else where. Even other real estate oriented blogs had a different perspective.

Don't get me wrong, I still [heart] Active Rain.  I met some great people with great insight here in the Rain. I even met a great referral buddy in another jurisdcition that took two of my referrals all the way and sent me a nice referral check and has invited me over to a couple of nice parties.

It's just that, sometimes, it's good to go out into the world to see what else is cookin'.

Plus, (can we talk here?), I was getting a little tired of the proxy errors and almost daily updates (where did my favorite navigation link disappear to, now?) and other tweaks of never ending improvements.  Sometimes, it's best to take a a little rest while the kids play in the yard and come back when they're all tuckered out and finished...at least for awhile.
