Copied from It's A Blog Eat Blog World:
The Manic Monday meme for me has morphed into something I never foresaw when I started it = an obligation.
Even kind of a curse.
I've tried to find someone to take it over, but no one is willing. I've tried to pre-post multiple theme words so it doesn't seem like a weekly dreaded thing. And yet, I'm just burnt out on it.
What interests me at the moment, what holds my attention in this short-attention span universe between my ears, just no longer includes this meme.
Should I just call it quits with Manic Monday, or what? I'm open to suggestions.

Manic Monday meme is as much a part of our lives as it is of yours. Now that I've got a platinum linky, I could help or even take it over. How about letting people suggest words or signing up multiple authors allowed to post to the site?
I have thought long and hard about something to post for this week's theme and have come up empty each time. I find myself with less and less "online" time the older my children are getting. The time I am online anymore usually cuts into time that I should be sleeping, so I completely and totally get where you are coming from. I would love to be able to take over Manic Monday but there is just no way. I hate to see such a wonderful meme go away, but I cannot ask you to do something that I cannot do myself. I say that you should do what is in your heart. I think that you're going through a lot of major life changes right now and do not need the added stress, but what do I know? *LOL*

Quit! Stop! Don't do it! If it's not in your heart, it's not your living & you are doing it out of obligation. Don't do it. People will get over it, they will find something new!
Do what's best for you. Blogging should be fun and should reflect our interests. If what's best is to stop, then stop.
If it's not for you anymore then it's time for change! We will still love you if you don't do Manic Monday anymore, Mo. Maybe people will start doing their own? I'd be willing to help if someone wants to keep it going... like Jamie said. But you be happy and let it go if that's what you need to do.
Yea! What they all said!
Seriously, honey, if you need a break and just aren't feeling it anymore - make the next word "Ending" and call it quits.
Love ya!
Im totally willing to take it over MO, but I love you!
If you feel that way, then you should quit. Hand it over to one of the volunteers. Or at least go part-time: we've had alternating hosts (each host takes it for a month at a time) at Totally Optional since its inception, and it's definitely prolonged my life as host.
These things are definitely finite.
I am posting my own Manic Monday on 27 July, with the word Positive.
