I did it again

3/10/2016

 
I forgot again. I took it seriously, and that made it too hard to do anything.  See, whenever I start telling myself that this has to be a real blog, that there needs to be real content and that people will only read what's valuable information, that I have to be serious and also that I have to sell my services (hey! buy my services!) and do it all right, it all goes to h-e-double-hockey-sticks. Look! There I go again! 
So, then, I forget to write. Or rather, I CAN'T write. because it won't be good enough.  


That's all bunk. Because this is MY blog. and you are reading it. 

I had a thought tonight, when I was thinking about gardening and what a chore it is. "I hate gardening," I thought.  And then I stopped. "No, I hate having to garden. I wish it could be fun, like it was when I was little. When I was just playing."

I need to just play.  Play blog writer.  Play mom. Play consultant, teacher, storyteller. I need to play "professional lady going to work," and gardener and wife and dog owner.  When I'm playing at those things, they're fun. I feel light and free, and things are possible. 

What are you playing?
work becomes fun
What changes drudgery to fun? You can recapture the joy of childhood with one easy shift.
