Fiddling Your Time Away?




Have you ever fiddled away your time to work on a certain project, only to be suddenly faced with the deadline and now you aren't finished?

Oh yes, I've done that too many times to count. And, I hate how that makes me feel... rushed, overwhelmed, and mad at myself.

Today I've posted on my writers' group blog about that very thing trying to uncover why I do that and to share some Tips on how to change.

If you've got your own fiddling issues, I hope you'll take a moment to click and read Fiddler on the Post.

Wishing you a great day,

Some Things Just Require...





"A great many things can be resolved with kindness,
even More with laughter,
but there are Some things
that just require cake."

Do pull up a chair, grab a fork, and let's enjoy a delectable slice together!

Watch For Him




Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest

"Our difficulties, our trials, and our worries
about tomorrow all vanish when we look to God.
No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you,
be determined to push them aside and look to Him."


Wishing you an untroubled heart today!

Hugs,

The Joy of Visiting New Bloggers


It's fun to visit new bloggers -- you never know when you meet a kindred spirit. And even if you don't, there are so many interesting people doing such creative things. My sister sent me a blog link to check out earlier, which led me to another... and another... and another. Don't you love how that happens? It's like going on a treasure hunt -- every time you click on a new clue link, you get treasure. Here's who I 'met' today:

I could relate to Delia Lloyd, a writer/journalist based in London, when she writes on her blog RealDelia that she is 'devoted to the idea that adulthood is not a destination. Growing up, (she) always thought adulthood was the final frontier -- a place you arrived and suddenly everything made sense....Turns out it doesn't work that way...'

Barbara Swafford has created a fun place for bloggers to hang out at Blogging Without A Blog. She says the 'greatest value of this blog lies in the comment section where bloggers in all phases of the blogging journey open up and share their thoughts.' Lots a great postings about our craft. Here's on posting of Barbara's I really enjoyed A Mantra For Bloggers-Writers.

Vered Deleeuw of momgrind.com started blogging just for fun and realized she loved it so much she turned it into a business. As a 'blogger for hire', she actually writes blogs for other businesses. In one of her posts, she says she never really connected to the 'personal' kind of blogging, but it looks like she found a niche that works for her. Guess that's good advice for each of us. Find what works.
Happy Blogging!

Get Out Of My Bed, Cat!




How the week has flown. I am in the midst of cleaning out all my computer files because this weekend my computer is being updated and re-sized. Happily, two of my very techie nephews are doing the renovations for me... as I say, happy me!

As we sorted files and links, I came across a cute pet video on my 'keep' file. Titled Get Out Of My Bed!, I just love how the dog looks up at his 'dad' wondering when he's going to get that ole cat outta there. Hope you enjoy.




Here's wishing you a pleasant weekend ahead...
