Along the way to trying to get some structure in my life without making a full time commitment, I’ve signed up for a couple of classes this fall, joined a study group and a CWF circle.   The past week or so there’ve been to many distractions and I haven’t been able to follow the new schedule I made for myself, but it looks promising.

The key is to start over every day until I manage to make it a routine.  After all my motto for years has been: “You haven’t really failed unless you stop trying.”  I will keep trying until I get it done.  Then I will make another commitment to lose the extra weight I’m carrying.  I don’t want to try doing both at once.   I remember when I was trying to stop smoking.  All the experts said don’t try it when you are under too much stress or when things are in an upheaval.

Soon things should slow down again.  Ashley is almost ungrounded.  Chris will be getting off suspension in a week or so.  Tracy’s problems are slowly working themselves out again.  The weather is clearing up.  Some sunshine and warm temperatures would go a long way to making me feel more like buckling down to work.

I am also working on a photography project to get myself motivated to shoot every day.   A pictorial guide to Madisonville.  I am deciding on categories, like schools one week, then churches, parks, historic buildings, and so forth.  When I’ve made out the list, I’ll start getting numbers and addresses.  I figure it should keep me busy for quite a while.   More structure to my life.

I still need to find time for working on David’s website, redesigning the Madisonville Design site and studying Flash.  It’s just a matter of setting priorities, then keeping to them.
