I almost deleted our website yesterday, as I was so tired of the endless struggling and getting nowhere.

I knew something had to give, and thought it would be me. Still could be me, I suppose.

 

I was quite prepared to struggle on, trying to make everything work, but sadly, this doesn’t seem to be possible.

 

It was while I was desperately trying to sort out our website that I began to realise something. Where had all the fun gone?

 

I have run this website for nearly fifteen years, and loved blogging and meeting and getting to know so many people, but lately, the struggle is getting to be too much.  I am not getting anything else  done, and I am not happy about that. 

 

When I told Anita that I was thinking of deleting our website, she was horrified. ‘What about all our followers?’ she said.

 

My sister always knows what I should do, not always with my approval, but this time I know she was right.

So the struggle for perfection continues…

 

I will get there in the end, you know…

  1. I definitely hope you stick with it. We are a wonderful community, and you would miss your fellow bloggers.

    1. I don’t want to stop, Jennie, although circumstances want to make me think I should. It’s one of the few happy places I have left! 😍

      1. I know what you mean. 💕

  2. Here’s hoping you stick with it.

    1. I am certainly going to try, John…

  3. Hang in there, Jaye! As others said, it doesn’t have to be perfect, just functional!

    1. Just as well, Jan. I can’t seem to manage perfect!

  4. And it doesn’t have to be “perfect”!

  5. Don’t give up! I’m sticking with the theme I’ve had almost since I started blogging 16 years ago; don’t need the aggravation of making a different one work.
    I like the background you have today!

    1. The background was a happy accident, but I love it.

  6. may your soul and mind, find peace

    1. I have found a little peace, but a little more would be wonderful, Annette…

    Websites are horribly complex objects, Jaye🥸

  8. I haven’t touched my website since the day I created it. I am here to enjoy creative writing prompts and interact with others- and the site itself is more or less just the medium. You would be missed- Anita is right. xxoo

    1. Bless you for saying that, Violet. I would you all so much too…

  9. Perhaps you should not worry about your website’s much. I just blog. Very occasionally I update my website but it certainly not something I stress over.

    1. I have been blogging for nearly fifteeen years and never had a problem, then things started changing. All I wanted to do was for things to go back to normal…

  10. Same here. Almost given up with social media of all types. Head against wall most of the time. Would miss you!!

    1. Thanks for the encouragement, Jane. Hopefully everything will settle down again now…

      1. xxxx
