I can't help loading a dozen new hobbies on my plate, and then "yikes!" as you say! Probably, at 54 years of age, I should simply accept this about myself, and try to enjoy all I can, as I am. You, too, yes? Let's keep our idea and projects piling on, and make the most of all we can, no regrets, no shame!<br />Again, you are so right... when it comes to writing, I am more determined, more committed to starting and finishing, and that's very gratifying. I feel clever or just thankful to myself, because I regularly commit to letting my blog posts be a "first draft," and I pardon my errors, mistakes, whatever is lacking or weakly structured by accepting I have no editor, I have no publicist, and I am just "scratching the surface." It gives me a kind of freedom to not "do a good job." It's a low bar, but sometimes doing a "good enough job" is a gift!<br />And thank you... about the "boring" post. I think I was just more interested in trying to do anything other than fret about insurance business. I need more aida cloth! I made an order!Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-25161807800110417592021-01-28T17:29:35.393-08:002021-01-28T17:29:35.393-08:00Congratulations on finishing the cross stitch! Peo...Congratulations on finishing the cross stitch! People who have lots of ideas and projects and things they love doing -- I humbly include myself in this group along with you, if I may -- seem to easily and unconsciously add new plans and projects to our lives, like breathing. Then we notice that, Yikes! we have too many things on our plates!<br /><br />That's when it is tremendously exciting to get one thing finished. That's one reason I like blogging, because even creating the tiniest post with just a few good sentences, and hitting the Publish button, is closure on something. I do wish I had the time to write more, even as it gets more challenging, the more one learns about writing and how the the changing limitations make it more challenging to do a good job at it.<br /><br />That "boring" post was not boring, by the way. gretchenjoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.com
