…..99 emails to go
I thought when I went to Ireland I would have trouble keeping up with my emails from my fellow bloggers that I faithfully follow. I did fall behind reading posts in my Reader but I managed to enjoy the posts that come directly to my email.
The problem of staying up to date happened when I went to the cottage. As some of you know I don’t have electricity let alone internet access up there. When I was away for more than a weekend I would write articles, save them and then post them once I came home. Towards the end of the summer I discovered that the library in the village had free WiFi so I went there a couple of times to post some of my writing.
Last week I returned home to open my classroom. I spent three full days at school cleaning up other people’s rooms, and trying to put books back onto the shelves in the library. On Friday I went back to the cottage for the last weekend of my summer holiday and returned Sunday. This morning when I opened my emails I had 99 unread posts.
Should I just delete them and start fresh when new ones come in or do I read 10 or more of the old ones a day plus the new ones that come in? Sometimes I look for the posts that I know are photographs or art work with very little text and I open them first. It’s the longer posts that I’m having trouble getting to. I know first hand how disappointing it is when you pour your heart and soul into your writing and no one reads it. What would you do? Am I making a problem where no problem exists? Help me with my conundrum, PLEASE!

That’s a tough spot you’re in. I think people would understand that you weren’t able to read all their posts and it’s fair to not try to get through all the old ones. Especially with school starting things are going to just keep piling up. I say start fresh to keep life manageable and take a little bit of stress off your shoulders.

Do what you can. I would just start fresh and not worry about the older posts.

I think you read what you can or what you want and don’t worry about the rest. People will understand.

Thanks for your input and thank you for nominating me for more awards. I haven’t had time to do anything with it yet but I hope I can get around to it soon.
