Do you ever have days when no matter how hard you seem to be trying, nothing seems to get done? I don’t often have that sort of day, but the last few days have just been hopeless here. No reason really. There are a lot of things going on outside of the house – dentist appointments, meeting up with friends and the rest of the time I just feel like my mojo has gone way, way out of the window.<\/p>\n
I’ve been working away in dribs and drabs at the Winter White<\/em> Schnibble. Only a few more blocks to quilt and it will be done. It’s taken me forever, and I really do mean forever. The whole thing is only about a metre square and somehow it just seems to go on and on. But in the next few days I promise I will have something to show you. I’m hoping that my husband might even help me in hanging it up over the weekend. That would be nice. I need something to show for this week!<\/p>\n I think in part the current state of affairs may be because without really realizing it I’m starting to overload my schedule. The sun is shining – I want to be out in the garden or running in the woods – both of which are things I love. I also have quite a lot of day-job type work at the moment. All that takes time and that means that there is less time for the little goals I’ve set myself in my head – writing, piano-playing, working on sewing projects, de-cluttering the house. I am also most definitely coming out of hibernation and actually want to get out and play with my friends again, but I’ve got used to days where I can plan in advance and see a lot achieved and there aren’t a whole lot of them at the moment!<\/p>\n I think I need to make sure that I keep a balance that works for me. I probably need to plan a day now and then where I can draw breath and not just be running around like a chicken without it’s head. That’s life though, isn’t it? Juggling a lot of balls in the air and trying to keep the balance right so that I can keep them up there.<\/p>\n It’s all in my head and I think I have to try to just live in the present and let the other things go.<\/p>\n Oh, and smile and enjoy the fact that I’m healthy and \u00a0spring has finally come.<\/p>\n Enjoy your week!<\/p>\n Helen<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you ever have days when no matter how hard you seem to be trying, nothing seems to get done?
