Elisa the Bunny Stik I hear ya! When I'm working, I can only listen to instrumentals, otherwise, I'm either too distracted by my work, or too distracted by what I'm listening to.
Oddly enough, I actually talked to my counselor not too long ago about audio books and finding them a bit much to deal with at times. I don't know how people can listen to them while driving, for example. I'm afraid I'll get so absorbed in the story I'll run off the road! Likewise, with my job being somewhat complex, I feel like listening to an audio book while troubleshooting a tech issue doesn't work so well.
What do you know? I've just posted for the first time in three years and, randomly checking on you, I find you've done the same. Maybe we can get a revival going?
Glad to finally see this post. I get busy and neglectful. Can't keep up.
Blogville has been dead for over a decade but Wordsmitty still puts out his monthly update, which is where I found this.
There's an achievement award for blogging 7 days in a row. I blog almost everyday, if only to kept track of ... whatever crosses my mind ...
Realm Makers ... you've met Renae?
I budget my account here. Outside of rent (it's going up in November), travel (the dollar is weakening), food (Wednesday is 10% off) and sitting in one of the cafés (for my mental/emotional health) it's my only big yearly expense. We all choose our poison.
Poetry is still my go-to; but I have forced myself to write short stories.
What does WordPress do for you? Facebook, WDC, other social media? Some people juggle numerous accounts but I have to keep it simple.
Jayne: I’m also reading a book titled: “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now” by Jaron Lanier. It’s illuminating to say the least.
Being away for as long as I have does feel like I’ve started living again, too.
I tanked all my social media and got my life back. The people who want to stay in touch have my cell phone number and we do a few zoom chats if they aren't close by.
I can say, for myself, it was the best decision I could have made.
I missed a couple months of writing in my hand-written journal. I'm back to it now; but I wrote fewer pages (61) in a year than I normally write in a three month season. I need to write about today on page 5,235 of this letter to my friend.
I have been fasting and trying to post daily introspections here.
Fathertymme, "Cold Durry Days": Good advice! And since I live up north I’m always in need of sunlight. Spring could definitely improve my mood. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
