Away too long.....again

Hello everyone, sorry I have been away for such a long time. Please let me try to explain why ......
I have so many wonderful friends here. People whom have been so kind to me and I truly love you all to bits. But having so many lovely people talking to me, liking my pictures, all became overwhelming for me. I have always tried to thank each and every person who added my picture to their galleries, but this takes so much time, and if I didn't say thank you, I felt so terribly guilty.
So I just disappeared and stayed away. Please don't think I had forgotten you, that will never be the case, I think about all my friends often. But in the time I have been away I had over 10,000 pictures waiting for me and also thousands comments and messages too. I simply can't cope with all these so please forgive me, I have deleted them all. I KNOW you all have lovely photos and art, and if I had been here, would have liked loads. I am also grateful for all the lovely comments and birthday messages you sent me back in April. I truly appreciate each and every one So if I don't have time to dedicate a picture you on your birthday, it's not that I don't care, it's just that I am busy. 
I hope you understand why I had to go for a while. I won't be on here as often as I used to be, but having said that, I am not far away either. Many of you have added me as friends on Facebook, and it's easier for me to keep in touch there. 
Sending you all lots of love
