Then and Now

I used to write about colors

Especially Red

And I would add photos

To get your attention, make you pause,

Enjoy the ride.

I used to write about blogs

And leave comments

Peruse and beg to be perused

Tempt you over to my own space on the web

Entertain the masses

I used to write about adventures

In dating

Or the crazy thing that happened on a city bus

That funny thing that happened at lunch

Getting lost (a lot)

I used to write about random stuff

Just to have written something

To keep the numbers up

A testament to a boring job

And a lot of free time.

But now…

Now I write a minimum of 9 articles a month for other blogs and publications

I work 40 hours a week.

I sit on a Board and serve as Secretary

I sit on a Committee and serve as Go To Gal

I am helping to edit and birth an anthology which will hopefully go to the printer soon

I run a book club

A knitting / crochet / art club

And a Skeptics club

I volunteer at least 2 days a month at the community center

I hand write envelopes for the Rainbow Delegation

On Tuesday nights we game with friends far away

On Thursday nights we game with friends even further away

Once a month we run a DnD game for friends right here.

There is also our social life, our friends, our family…

And the need for quality time, snuggles, cuddles, kisses, and a weekly coffee date

Still trying to find time to work on the novel

Time to keep up on my exercise

Time to cook and clean and maintain a household (I thanfully don’t do that alone)

And to save money, I am attempting to hand make all the Christmas gifts this year.

Which means that I am not writing on this blog as much as I would like.

But, as your reward for reading this far, I have a gift for you…

There, doesn’t that make it all better?

Happy Friday!
