Dear, darling, wonderful Bear 🐻, it's absolutely necessary for you to take a break and just be for a while. We'll be here when you wake up from hibernation, don't worry. Sending you Bear hugs 🫂 xxxxxxxxx ❤️

Please do take care of yourself. I have been a bit worried about you as I think you have been overdoing things lately.

I used to be like you and I didn’t take a break ended up having a burnout which took me more than 2 years to recover from.

I learned from it and toned down my activities for so about 5 years to then gradually expanding again for which I am now paying a big price!! Was it worth it? Of course not. The price I am paying now will be for the rest of my life and impacts my family as well.

So please, please take time off and not just a few days. You need more time to recover.

You have done more than enough to earn a break. Enjoy it, and I shall await your return. You have been inspirational to many people, so make the most of a short break.

It's not easy to make the decision to take a breather so well done for making it. Go gently with yourself, do those things that give you peace and joy, and come back only when you know that you have regained your equilibrium - even if that takes longer than you think it will. Your friends will understand and hold you in our thoughts xx

PS my book arrived on Saturday, thank you xx

Amazingly you avoided the word “hibernating”! Take care and stay safe.

Top up the batteries and come back firing on all cylinders...

If thats not a heavily mixed metaphor!

Understandable, just take care and recharge and hopefully enjoy a bit of peace.

Bears need their hibernation. As the song goes: ‘…Take it easy, Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy’. I have that line as my ringtone so whenever I panic because someone I don’t know (or know and don’t want to speak to) phones, I get gently put right again. Maybe answer, maybe not. Thank you for all you do x

Everyone deserves a break for time to themselves and to recharge batteries.
