This is the Stuff

The computer has a virus.

The puppy peed on the floor.

I’m on a deadline for editing, have a blog to write because I’m hopelessly behind on my own social media, have to learn to (gulp) Tweet, and I haven’t been able to actually write anything new in weeks.

I won’t even go into the fact I still have a full time job, three teenagers, or my personal family crises.

Oh, woe is me.

Well, I decided it’s time to pull up my big girl panties and get to work. I have a book coming out in a couple of months…insert squee here… and I have stuff to do. Don’t we all?

I guess that’s the line in the sand defining us all, huh? There are those of us who ‘do’ and those of us who sit, immobilized like little frozen Eskimos of fear – overwhelmed by all we have to do, or all that is going wrong. (I’m not above admitting I’m a little of both. I quake in my boots sometimes, pausing in the middle of my doing occasionally. But I do eventually get everything done. I’m too OCD to do otherwise!)

So, I’ll keep it short today. Heck, I’m busy. Blogging, tweeting, cooking, chatting with my teenagers (or watching them roll their eyes at me…whatever,) editing, cleaning up puppy pee…um, maybe I’ll sleep or write something sometime soon. But, always, I will try to remember to slow down and be grateful that I’m living the life I always wanted.

How about you?
