Recently I reassessed my goals and set a weekly plan - I'm already two weeks behind!

I'm happy to say it's because I'm working hard, but I'm not doing a lot of creating. Maybe next week...

I really do need to find a direction and focus on it. Too much vague drifting and doing one thing then another, and I find that also means I don't use time as well as I could. Must try harder! Well done on having had a blog for nearly seven years, that's quite an achievement. And as you say, it's lovely to look back at the journey and see what you've done and where you've been. I'm always impressed at how you fit writing into your life, you're an inspiration Maria. CJ xxCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.com
