For the better part of May, I have taken a breather from Active Rain. Yes, I have been busy at work, but I had also gotten AR fatigue. I try to put so much into my postings and into my interactions with my fellow Rainers, that it was consuming a lot of my time. Early mornings and late nights were spent huddled over my computer. My husband was having a hard time recognizing me when I wasn't bathed in the glow of the computer screen.
Plus, in all candor, I was getting discouraged because I wasn't getting the return on investment that other Rainers seemed to be getting in terms of leads. Other folks, whose work I admired on AR, were waxing poetic about all the leads they were getting, and here I was with next to nothing to show for my hard work. I felt like it was time to throw in the towel.
A funny thing happened, though. I missed Active Rain. I missed the knowledge that I gained from other members on the site. I missed the knowledge that I gained of my community by doing research for my posts. Most of all, I missed my Active Rain friends.
So, I've rededicated myself to this wonderful community. I may not put quite so much time into it as I have in the past, but I will still be active. I hope that you will stop by and visit me from time-to-time and read my posts--both my personal ones, and the ones about my beloved North Georgia Mountains.
Yours in the Rain,
Kim
