No Promises

I've decided I'm taking today off from blogging. My daughter, Janie, has a dance performance today, I've got contractors coming tomorrow, and I'm working the steps with an online group and Step 1 has kicked my ass and left me emotionally drained. I'll get back with answers to your wonderful questions on Friday's post, um, I was going to say this week, but you know what? I need to let go of the deadlines. I will get to them. I'm just done making promises about when.

  2. Good for YOU! I was almost forced to do the same when my Dell gave me weird problems with Word and Mozilla … spent quite a bit of time with Dell Tech Support but didn’t get much help. They wanted $239 to rid my new laptop of ‘viruses’ they thought I must have. Perhaps they’re right … but I’m not forking over cash until I’ve exhausted my own efforts. Things have sort of straightened themselves out at the moment through my own efforts and I’m running a variety of scans … just because. Hope you enjoyed your daughter's dance performance and feel better soon.
    Hugs and blessings,

  4. I am glad you are letting go of deadlines. To some degree, I almost feel that that is a part of our Western social sickness that adds to the the stress that is not always beneficial. Also, Step 1 kicked my ass as well. In retrospect, I wouldn't have it any other way.

  5. Write when you're ready. That's all you need to do (here anyway!).

    I'm also glad to read about you letting go of deadlines. It is a hard thing to do. I'm trying to release a big goal that I had in my life because I think it is more stressful and makes me judgemental on myself. None of which is necessary.
    So good for you!

  7. Good call. Deadlines are bad enough let alone unnecessarily self-imposed ones. We ain't going anywhere :)

  8. Uno momento...12 steps online? Where are you doing that? I want to do that. Correction, I need to do that.

    Email me? I know you're busy, but just one quick little email? Or even tell someone else to do it. Delegate me if you have to! :)

  9. I feel like I let go of deadlines everyday when I see that my to do list is impossible.

  10. I totally understand. It is amazing how much pressure we put on ourselves in regards to blogging.
