A hiatus helps every now and then. Its just natural to take abreak and after that if you decide to start again am sure you will be able to revitalize things.

Thanks everyone.

I'll definitely enjoy the time off. I think that we can put ourselves under too much pressure to churn out the posts and can lose the enjoyment sometimes so, who knows what tomorrow brings.

Colin,
I would hate to jeopardize the integrity of your blog by diluting your content, but I for one am open to hearing your thoughts on other topics.
I think that you have a great way with words and the ability to capture the thoughts of the masses.
So, be encouraged. If you have something on your mind other than social media, go for it.

Totally agreed — I've been trying to spend my time just getting to know others and learn from them. In the meantime, blogging-wise, I may explore other topics that interest me.

Enjoy the “time off” Colin

Do what you feel is right, Colin. I think you'll be back at some point.

Take care and best wishes on your break.

“What was special about the social we has been swallowed up in our quest to educate the masses.”

Well said Colin! Hope to see you return soon, or at least see an update on how you're doing every once in a while.
