Catching Up or Starting Fresh?
As I sit here today looking at my Dashboard, I can’t believe it has been nearly a year since I published the last issue.
A lot has happened in the past year. I am continuing with my school work, at the expense of putting off my writing unfortunately. However this is only one of a few things I am doing to get back on track. Scheduling alarms for when to start and end each activity or project for the day is another. School in the morning, writing in the afternoon, and crafts after dinner. Let’s see how long this schedule sticks.
In the past year since I last published I have moved twice, and now find myself living in the less savory part of the big city. I have lost someone who means a very lot to me, but I’ve also had some triumphs. I sold my first blanket on Etsy. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA, and I have met some really great friends along the way.
One thing I find myself doing a lot, especially here recently is reminding myself how much I deserve it. I deserve my writing time, I deserve a rest or a break, I deserve to spend time solely on me. Even if that means dishes pile up, even if that means the floor gets scrubbed tomorrow instead of today. Even if I never make a dime doing it, I deserve the effort and time I give myself.
So do you! You deserve to set aside a little time everyday to do something that is solely and completely for you; because it brings you joy, because it makes you feel better, or simply because its what you want to do in that moment. Take a little time and do something for yourself. I know I will.
Have a Great Day, Make it a Great Day!
