The inner workings of a troubled mind.

Winter break and writing goals.

One more day of winter break before the kids return to school and I resort back to my normal daily rituals. Now that my son is excited about preschool, all my worries are gone, and the blanket of stress has been lifted. I never make resolutions. I plan and execute in small increments until I reach my goal. When I shoot for the big goal I usually fail miserably. Not only do I feel like a failure, the fact that I dove in head first instead of testing the waters disappoints me. Last year I promised myself to write everyday no matter what, even if it is a sentence. I kept my promise and slowly began my writing, one sentence at a time. It's hard to believe I can manage to keep a daily blog. Well, almost daily. Life gets in the way, and sometimes my blog has to wait. Life is getting in the way as I type this, which means I will continue this later.
