A Vacation




I've made an executive decision; I am taking a short blogging break and will return on December 28. The fun part about writing your own blog is that you can make such decisions. But then, you are also in charge of the end of the year bonuses. Hmm, will have to give that some thought. Perhaps my bonus will include chocolate. What do you think? :)


Hope you take time to rest and refresh too. Enjoy family, friends, and fellowship. Have a blessed week. See you soon!

  9. TEA! You must include a pot of tea with the chocolate. I like green jasmine. :)
    Have a blessed Christmas with your family.

  30. Jessica,
    Well, since I am CEO of my writing endeavors (other than the Lord's counsel of course) I figured it was an executive call! Feel free to make your own executive decisions along the same lines:) Thanks for stopping by!

  32. I'm doing likewise ... though obviously I'm checking in on my blogger-buddies from time-to-time.

    Enjoy your holiday, and by all means do the chocolate bonus thing. I think I'll make mine an extra piece of apple pie ala mode. Maybe even TWO extras!

    Blessings, and Merry Christmas,
    Kathleen

    P.S. Thank you for your frequent visits to my place in recent months. I look forward to gleaning your writing wisdom in 2010!
