A wonderful post on the Word by Word #blog by Kathryn Jane on giving yourself a break.
On the first Tuesday of every month, I’m “supposed” to post a blog entry here on Word By Word.
But I’m running a bit late, because over the last week or so life got complicated and much sleep was missed.
Stuff piled up.
My emotional and creative wells hadn’t run dry, but I just couldn’t seem to concentrate. To get words to stick on the page.
My subject of choice had been “planning and goal setting.”
I began to write about how I’m not a planner, therefore don’t set goals. For me, there are lots of dreams that lead to looking at possibilities, and creating options in my mind.
- If “A” happens, I’ll be able to do ____
- If “B” happens, I’ll go to ___ instead
- If “C” happens, I will have three more options
But all these ideas are simply “explored,” as opposed to being thought through in detail…

I just saw a news clip that a few minutes of reading a day can significantly drop the chance of a heart attack. If that’s not a reason to read, I don’t know what is! lol

LOL! That’s Jacquie, all things in moderation. A little bit at a time. I think we are moving too fast through too much!
