The beginning is reminiscent of a Bible verse. But what you say is true. Time should not be wasted. It is a gift to have it with friends and family. Always use it to life life to the fullest.

Comment from Amy Rowell
Dip, I certainly understand priority. I haven't been on as much either. Sometimes it's good for us to kinda take a step back and take a break. I sure hope it's not a long one though. I do so enjoy your writing. You make me smile and I'm sure make others as well. Thank you for being so kind in reviewing my work in the past. Enjoy your time off and enjoy your family sweet friend. (((Hugs))) Amy

Comment from For better for verse
Certainly hope this is not your parting poem, writers like you are the cement that holds fan story together.
Time is so very precious to all of us and your poem says it all.
Well worthy of its recognised status.
Well done.

Comment from Irish Rain
I have 237 messages in my box. I certainly understand. I think this is only the 5th or 6th review I've written in weeks.
I've been working jigsaw puzzles, doing cross stitch, things I've neglected...and missed.
I haven't made up my mind to leave/stay...but I sure don't blame you!!
Enjoy your life, your wife, your ocean. Go with God, blessings....

Linda out of all my friends I have made on FanStory, you are my loyalist and most dear
We have laughed together, we have cried together, we have confided in each other , we have supported each other and listened to each other's emotions and feelings
I just need a break. I am tired. I just can't keep up with reviews . The decision did not come lightly and I am sure I will be backI will still post occasionally but that is only to store mypoetry in the fanstory storage bin as I call it.
Stay well my sweet friend

tears...I will miss you so much...you have been there for me when I needed you...and we have laughed together...and we have cried...and we have confided in each other...you have been a very special friend to me...and I can still go back and read your poems as long as you are leaving them here...you stay well too...I don't think anyone can get to all their reviews...I have had some of the top writers tell me that...but you did a great job trying...get some rest...love ya Linda xxoo

by the way Waves...you should have been in the top five...it was wrong...but the ranking on here are fixed...Gungalo told me that years ago...it's not about the best poet...it's about money...i still think the top five are very talented writers...but the review count is deshonest...so sorry you ...love xxoo
Comment from Teri7
Dip, This is a very well written poem you have penned about saying goodbye when the time is right. You used very good wording with great imagery in your words. I hope this is not goodbye my friend! Blessings, Teri

Dearest Teri and fanstory friend I am having a break for a while I don't think I could ever officially leave Its a big part of my life but so are other things I need to prioritize. I am growing tired. I just can't keep up with reviewing any more There are now 122 messages in my message box and its unfair I cannot answer them all.
In four and half years of coming here and some 3700 poems later, I haven't seen my wife in that time...and she is only sitting in the lounge room! lol
Keep well my loyal, sweet friend and may God always bless you wherever he is

Comment from Asem.inspirations
Good morning, DIP: I think everyone will realize when they have had enough. This is a great place to be but it does take up extremely too much time. Our families need our undivided attention along with our so many other responsibilites.
I will miss you, dear friend so this is a bittersweet good bye. Take care as I know you will and enjoy the waves and the sun shines. I will think of you when I see the things that remind me of you, much love, my friend, much love.

I am sure I'll be back when I come up for air. I'll will miss your wonderful rap poems and our lovely talks. This place is a bit like the line from the song, Hotel California "You can check out when you like..but you can never leave"
Keep well my friend I will be still posting from time to time but only to store my poems on here. I will not be reviewing any more. I just can't keep up. Maybe the break will do me the world of good? I'll get my mojo back!

Your words echo the words of the wise King Solomon in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes verse 1-8. Your last time which brings a yearning that time's forever is like his verse 11:
[God] He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their [people's] heart, "

Thank you so much L.
Just letting you know I will not be reviewing or posting anymore other than occasionally for somewhere to store my poetry.
I am just getting very tired after four and a half years posting two poems a night that's over 3700 poems lol
I just can't keep up with reviewing its so time consuming I already have 109 messages!
A break might get my mojo back I just don't know where the wind might blow
Thanks for being a fanstory friend

Comment from MissMerri
A very good poem, well written, beautifully rhymed and certainly sensible, but I hope sincerely it is not your last poem here. I know it can be trying, but maybe you are simply expecting too much of yourself. I notice almost no one answers every review or every post, because it really is impossible to do it all. Post whenever you feel like it, and we will always be happy to read what you write. Don't pressure yourself! And please don't go away. MM

Hi MissMerri I am tired. I have been posting 2 poems every night for four and a half years now thats around 3700 poems
I just can't keep up with reviewing as I look I have 109 messages.
I am going to have an indefinite break. It was starting to consume my life It seemed like an obsession and was becoming a slave to the system. I am going to come up for air I think people are tiring of my poetry, you can only read so much romance poetry without it becoming boring and monotonous. I will still post occasionally but that will only be to store my poems and since I have premier shield its a good archive storage bucket.
Although we have only known each other poetically for a short while I appreciate good poets such as yourself
