Distraction.....

Distraction is a simple word but can be a flashing neon sign in front of me following me around for the past four to six weeks and a ditch leading to the rut of procrastination. The thought seems odd since Spring has arrived and normally Spring brings rejuvenation, new ideas, fresh new beginnings. But it doesn't matter .... completely. There's always something; children, housework, spouse, etc. needing neverending attention. Housework can wait, I've done it in the past but only for so long. Children need attention, that's a given but sometimes they are so involved in playing they forget about me for a few minutes. Those few minutes are seized to slip a bit of writing, reading, thinking .....me time in. I tape all my favourite prime time television programs so I won't miss any but I need to find time to watch them since eventually I run out of tapes (modern technology only goes so far with me, I'm not into downloading every bloody thing in creation onto my computer). I'm finding out how much a spouse can actually be like having a third child without the labour pains. Making a mess equal to the children's without any attempt to clean it up. OH BROTHER!!

So procrastination slithered back into control and I allowed it, almost welcoming it. That's why my entries have been stagnant. I've been focusing more on my other writing endeavours in my scraps of spare time. There are other interests...... passions I want to focus on as well. I need to get back on track. Especially when the exercising did get forgotten. It's been on my mind A LOT the past few days so I need to give myself that nudge to do it again. It's so easy to get caught up in the rest of the chaos called life. But the constant reminder to keep life in balance is needed ..... it's mandatory.

I am mandatory.
