Be kind to yourself -
Hahah! I've learnt I don't so much bounce as stretch but let it go! We like you and accept you - I find lots of value in the solidarity and comments here including yours over the last few months. Today I love your comment - to pray for willingness to be willing. Oh man, does that ring true!

Today is the day. Just work on it and let go of thoughts and feelings.
So far, so good.
Now: Work on one section per pomo and then move on
Update: I sent off what I had at a set time. Not happy with it but I think it is better that I don't work all night and end up feeling resentful. Trying to feel good about it.

Long period of unproductive surfing this morning. My theme is a lot of consumption of information about change, but no action towards the same. Change is not overnight, and my appetite for knoweldge is important. But it is not a replacement for action, only a supporter of it.
Today I have already:
Today I will:

I hate days off too. The lack of structure and/or accountability just makes me freak out and 90% of the time I get hardly anything done, and the other 10% I do way too much and fry my brain.
Go figure the procrastinating mind.
Solidarity sister!

Sister will do - but thank you for not making an assumption from the name. :-)
