I am having another raven moment today, where unattractive thoughts are trying to turn me into a bear with a very sore head.
This week has not been particularly pleasant, what with both of us feeling under the weather. Almost nothing has been done as I haven’t had the desire or the energy to do it.
I am hoping that after a quiet weekend, some normality and enthusiasm will return on Monday, as I have some serious new developments to consider regarding The Mystery of Folly’s End.
Even when we are as far away from being a writer as it’s possible to get, those writing thoughts and ideas keep on coming, so I will need a clear head to sort them out. Another of my thoughts is about blogging and whether we want to continue or just reduce our activities a bit. These thoughts have been slowly gathering, made infinitely worse every time something changes and things that were easy, suddenly aren’t any more.
We don’t want to stop, as we love what we do, we just wish a lot of it wasn’t so hard…
One day at a time ladies. I know life can feel overwhelming – a lot. That’s my mantra. One day at a time, do what you can do, and don’t stress the rest. Do what makes you feeling good. <3
Yes, this is my mantra too, but just lately it hasn’t been working very well… This is probably due to all the things I wish I could change and sadly can’t…
I will tell you we are in crazy time now – mercury retrograde once again. This is why situation normal isn’t. Hang on to your hats til mid September. <3
That must be why so much is gearing up at the moment…
Just wait til next week. Mercury retro is a time for ALL technical snafus. 🙂
Oh hell…
🙂 🙂
Just do what you can, when you can. Hope you feel better soon. x
Good advice, Stevie… you are right, of course… 💕
I have never found anything worthwhile to be easy. Hope you keep blogging.
You’re right, John… I will try…
😊
Hope you don’t stop blogging but doing what’s best for the two of you is more important than anything else !
Paul
Thanks for your support, Paul. Just what we needed now…
It seems that a lot of us are having to take a step back and re-evaluate what we are doing, ladies. Hope you get it sorted out and find what works best for you.
Thanks Jan. Something has to give, I think, and it cannot be us. A compromise is needed… XX
Yes, everything (especially online) changes! And becomes more difficult. Have a relaxing weekend.
I will try, Cynthia… but the brain won’t, unfortunately… 💕
best to hibernate for the weekend
I thought so… maybe think of something good?
A blog post that says “hi” and nothing else is allowed. Everything is allowed; it’s your blog! If you need a rest, take a rest. If you want to write on it, write on it. No reason to ban yourself if you want to write, no reason to write if you don’t want to. I hope you feel better soon!
This too will pass, as they say. I shouldn’t letveverything get to me, Marla…
You are letting things get to you because you’re in that head space. Recognize where you are, take a deep breath and realize that anyone who tries to make you feel bad for doing what you need to do isn’t someone you should bother listening to anyway. Take care of you, because there’s only one of you and there’s always more than one hater. So fooey on them! I hope you feel better!
Thanks Marla… You’re right, of course. I don’t usually give up on anything. I blame it on the advancing old age!
You’re not giving up on anything – you’re just living your life without worrying about naysayers. That’s not giving up, that’s forging ahead.
I hope you’re right, Marla…
((( <3 )))
Bless you, Annette… 💕
I hope you are feeling better soon. Perhaps cutting back will help. I don’t blog as much as I used to. There is only so much time and energy.
And it seems to be getting less and less, Darlene… 💕
