Time

I seriously want to blog. 

Where do I start? What do I write about? When the heck will I have time time?! And WHO would even read my crazy rantings?

I have time right this moment. Tomorrow I won't. C'mon, back in February I started this blog, purchased my domain name and then....nothing. I'm sure it's me. Yep, it's me. Can't blame anyone else. Darn it. I need to learn how to focus. 

Work takes up most of my time. Then there is the rest of life. There just isn't enough time in the days for my husband, my adult children, travel to see my grandchild (soon to be grand children), extended family, SLEEP, friends, reading, writing and the one thing I want to do more than anything, PHOTOGRAPHY. I'm sure I missed something there. If I just didn't need to eat and pay my mortgage I would have so much more time. I know, I know, first world problems and grow up already.

How does everyone else do this?

A few weeks ago I wrote this on the white board in my office 'room where everything gets tossed'...

PHOTOGRAPHY - 
Could I do this for the rest of my life? YES!
Would I do this every day even if no one paid me to do it? YES!
When I'm doing it, do I feel alive and excited? YES!
Do I want to do it as much as I can, whenever I can?YES!


And then I came back a bit later and wrote underneath...

On a hot summer night will you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

It was just bouncing around in my head, like things do.

So, there is my focus - all over the map. Yes, I'm easily distracted. 

And to add another item I will be writing whining about not having enough time for - today my husband bought me a new bicycle for my birthday which is in three days. I will post a photo of the beauty, you guessed it, when I have time.
