FYBF – Post Christmas Chillaxin’

By: mamagrace7128 Comments

This morning, Mr Surfer woke up groaning and cursing that he had forgotten to drop something off at work for a colleague.

I had forgotten that there were many of us out there without the priviledge of having a seamless Christmas break.

Then, I thought about how awesome this blogging gig is.

We have the choice to write as we choose, when we choose.

If our finger tips are itching to get to a keyboard, then we have that liberty too.

We also have the perogative to switch off all iDevices and switch on all our attention to those who are most important to us.

While blogging may not be lucrative or rank us as the breadwinners, remember that we are the record keepers, the memoir takers, the memory banks for all the important events of our families.

So, I leave FYBF open for those who couldn’t resist the bloggy urge and have some thoughts and stories to post and share.  Feel free to link up your favourite/most popular post from the year.

I hope that this Christmas brought you the true essence of the yuletide season; that you’ve been able to sit back and truly enjoy and soak in an abundance of love, laughter and blessings.

A BIG thank you for all your support, comments and giggles throughout this past year.  Meeting all you guys on FYBF has been a HUGE highlight of my year.

Okay, back to my plonk and plate of cheese and crackers…

    Blogging is a great gig, isn’t it?!

    I’ve been lucky enough that both my work days have fallen on the public holidays this week, so I’m on holidays without taking any leave. Poor Mr O has been at work yesterday and today, so it doesn’t quite feel like a holiday – more like an extended weekend when he’s been home, and just normal life when he’s working.

    Happy new year Grace, I’ve really enjoyed linking up with you this year and sharing this bloggy journey xx

    Well, I finally did my Christmas wish list….late. But thanks for making me think and remind myself of the importance of wishing, dreaming, hoping. I hope you had a lovely celebration. When I was looking at IG to see what might be going on for FYBF this week, I went back to the pic above and thought it was the perfect image to go with an FYBF promo. 🙂 Looking forward to a catch up soon.

    I’m not linking up this week Grace but just stopping by to wish you and all your family a very good year and thanks again for your support. (I hope you won’t receive this comment 20 times, I’ve been trying to comment a few times today and for some reasons my comment do not appear…)

    You’re a legend Grace! I’ve loved reading your blog and linking up with you both here and IRL.

    I love what you’ve written here: We are the record keepers.

    If I never earn a penny from blogging, or my stats never rise, it won’t bother me, as long as my words stay live for my descendants to read if they so wish. I wish my Nanna had a blog and her mother.

    Have a great New Year. Looking forward to getting to know you more over 2013.

    I love this post. Just when I’m thinking it might be time to throw in the blogging towel, you rescue me with words. ” we are the record keepers, the memoir takers, the memory banks for all the important events of our families.” Thanks, Grace.
