I know and I am sorry. October was not a great month for my blog.
I have rationale, mostly fatigue, but that is not interesting. I initially had self-imposed deadlines, but as those lapsed so did my submissions.
Doing nothing is not fulfilling but it sure is easy. I often find myself reminding my kids one gazillion times to do something as simple as put their shoes away. However, they seem to think this is a feat only an Olympian could match. How can they be expected to stop watching TV to move their shoes? Ugh!
Despite my frustration in the moment, I can clearly remember another little girl saying at each commercial break “just five more minutes, mom, please!” My mom was as exasperated with me then, as I am with my children today. It is hard to understand, when they have so few items on their agenda, how they continue to accomplish nothing. But, that ever present laziness wins out most of the time. Especially, when you are a kid and fundamentally have few expectations and responsibilities.
As an adult, when we have plenty of work to accomplish, our hobbies tend to lose priority. The non negotiable items get crossed off, (most of the time), but the extras tend to be pushed aside. My husband has a motorcycle that he really enjoys riding, unfortunately, adulting ravages his time and he only gets a couple of rides in per season.
Ultimately, this is my hobby and I will invest in it as such. When I have time and energy, I will have frequent posts. Conversely when either of those elements are in short supply, I will be mute.
I will be seeing you on the good days!
