What a reprieve!

Miracles do happen!

I am still in a bit of a daze, regarding the whole flickr thing, which I really thought was a complete done thing. I am relieved that I still have access to it, even though I now know not to take it for granted, and accept that it can go any time, and that I have to be OK with that.

I had planned a series of things to do, for work and for creativity, to keep busy and not dwell on the fact the such a fun part of my daily life would just disappear all of a sudden. It just goes to show, how attached we all get to things, and this is not even a real thing that we can touch.

Congrats that Flickr is still accessible:-)

Agree with you that we do get attached to things and find it really hard to let go:-)

Hope you had a great break!

Thanks.....so glad about it. I had two months to prepare myself to do without it....which is why I flickred so much during my break, so this has been so unexpected.

Break was great....my longest to date, but really well spent.

Patricia, Lol, and this is an attachment to something that is not even real and touchable!

Charu, Yes, I get withdrawl symptoms too...but I need to get away for a few weeks every year, without all of them....no phone, no email, no computer!

Lakshmi, A nice surprise for me too!

I am glad you have access to flickr, more so coz you were all set to come back to no flickr. :)

Looking fwd to seeing the picsfrom your visit to the mountains. :)

Though an online forum like flickr isnt something that we can touch - it is a forum comprising of ppl, all of whom we may only know online, but still the forum isnt as virtual as it may seem. :)

Chitra, thanks...you've described it so well. Yes, it's thanks to the people that one has formed bonds with that makes it so hard to let go and makes it more than just something virtual.

I've been trying to upload my pics from the trip onto blogger for a while...for some reason it's really slow today.

Isn't it such a big part of your day - I know it is for me. Maybe too big, I could spend so much time on flickr, so that's why when I took a little break from my blog I didn't visit flickr often either, it was a good start for what I hope is a little less time on the computer for me. Ofcourse I'll still be online but I realized how much I get done when I'm not online so much :) But I wouldn't want to quit flickr and I'm so happy that you didn't have to quit either :)
