Sheesh, why do I even have a blog?  Haven’t been here in ages, my apologies to *all* my fans – ha!  So, time for an update:

Lots of things going on.  I counted, a week or so ago, about 10 things I’m stressed over.  Just 10.  Not a huge number, right?  But, I’m happy to report, several of those things just dropped off The List.  Yay!  Of course, it helps that I can’t quite remember all of them in the first place….

I’ve decided to go for it, to write fulltime.  And, of course, hopefully earn a living!  Guess I’m pushing off that nervous breakdown for a bit longer.  Oh, well.

Suppose I should have written this little piece a couple weeks ago, because I actually started on June 1.  Seemed like a good date, first of the month and all; but, naturally, life is getting in the way just a tad.  First, there were the last couple days of school for my youngest; then medical tests for my husband; then a few crises with family members – well, truthfully, some of them have pretty continuous crises…but I digress.

And, well, that’s part of my problem too – digression.  Or, as it’s better known, procrastination. 

On the other hand, perhaps some of my writer friends can enlighten me:

Is it REALLY procrastination, or don’t you have to “feel” something first?  I mean, there’s focus, which we all need regardless of occupation, but there has to be some movement of the creative spirit before we can begin.  Or, I supposed, one must simply type until that spirit moves, yes?  I think my brain must be getting fuzzy again…or, well, it’s that darn procrastination!

What do you think?

There’s right, there’s wrong, and there’s relative.  In other words, some things ARE black-and-white, and some are just opinions or dependent on the situation.

We’ve all been there; we choose to do what’s right, or maybe sorta-kinda-almost right.  And then, other times, we choose to do what’s wrong.  Sometimes we just don’t know any better, and sometimes we don’t have all the facts; sometimes, too, we are handicapped by what others choose.  And, sometimes we just don’t care enough to do what’s right.

How do you handle the behavior of those who choose what’s wrong?  Do you take it in stride, i.e., ignore it and fume to yourself?  Do you call out the person, and stand up for what’s right?  Or do you just let it go?

Letting go might be fine, but if you aren’t careful it can build and build into something rather terrifying.  And letting go might have an adverse effect on others.  Then, too, not standing up for what’s right means, in essence, that you’re condoning what’s wrong.

Leave a comment, if you will, and tell us how YOU handle the right/wrong issues with which you are confronted – big, small, mundane, whatever you want to tell us about.
