I have such ambitions, such grand illusions of all of the things I want to do but then I am so worried about not doing anything as well as I dreamed I would, that I am almost paralyzed toward doing anything at all. Wow, does that even make sense? Please keep blogging so I don't feel alone! I question the purpose of my own blogging and take breaks but keep going back. You keep coming back, too!Leslie Roberts Clinganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039535360693452031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-66861743496051688822016-01-04T06:16:53.330-07:002016-01-04T06:16:53.330-07:00being a perfectionist at heart I totally understan...being a perfectionist at heart I totally understand where you're coming from Susan. I often wonder where people with families or full time work find the time to blog regularly. I have trouble fitting it in and I have oodles of time! Cutting ourselves a little bit of slack is probably the kindest thing we can do at times.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-66189581372882399822016-01-03T20:47:55.565-07:002016-01-03T20:47:55.565-07:00I am in the same boat.

I just can't seem to focus.

This followed by not doing it. I wrote about this myself in a blog post. I've managed to get over this hurdle and realized it wasn't getting me anywhere. Oddly, starting a blog has been the one leap I needed. Just keep doing what feels right. 😄Laurie Oienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730798426106243813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-58455515610352641662016-01-03T01:02:30.308-07:002016-01-03T01:02:30.308-07:00Oh yes it is true.
