Holy Week is upon us here in this Catholic country and work mostly slows down and stops by the end of next week, before Easter. Our grandchildren should be visiting this week, though the two oldest are no longer frequent visitors - being 15 and 13, they have their friends and parties and soccer games and such and here in the country there's none of that.
Ever suffered from procrastination? Since I had a minor heart episode a few years ago, this has crept up on me and it has become a struggle to rid myself of it. In younger and workaholic years, there was none of that, but after having to take it easier for the better part of a year, I lost that impulse and haven't found a suitable replacement so far. It often leads to disappointment, both with myself and with my family, friends, and colleagues. This is the year to put it behind me for good, for I have much to do and time never seems to be sufficient.
Writing is my favorite vocation and I make all too little time for it. I am betting that committing to this blog will be a first step, to be followed by larger steps dedicating time and loving effort to my writing. Though I cannot honestly say that I hear footsteps, I know that I have less time than before and want to use the time I have to do the things I love. Surely this will lead me to sacrificing the television, which has always been a weakness of mine that I have struggled to control.
Well, all of a sudden it's six in the morning and I still have not slept in my own bed. Signing off for now.
