Responding to A Little Encouragement

If you haven't seen the blog post by Dadaz123 on getting his mojo back, it's worth locating and reading. It prompted me to post this reply to him:

Although I live a single, living 'on-my-own-but-in-a-community' life, I can relate to much of what you've shared because my daughter and family - three grandchildren and a son-in-law - live fairly close by, but never-the-less I've been fairly much isolated from anything close to normal. Because of another project that needed some intensive attention and also actually had a couple of recall requests which put me back into work (aka earning a living) mode for several days or part days, I've just been WA MIA for much of the past 2 weeks or more. On those days that I went back to work, I attempted several times at the end of my work day to come back to WA activity but found myself feeling somewhat like you described, kind of burned-out and lacking energy, so I didn't even manage to keep up with my email inbox, and more than once was 2 or even 3 days behind in getting on top of it.
My challenge - which Dadaz123 gave me a dose of encouragement and motivation to tackle and give priority to - is to get active earning 'Comment Credits'. Thank you for the kick in the derriere!!

Like Dadaz123, I found myself lacking mojo, and I'm glad he's found his. He reminded me I need to get focused, better organized, and get back on track, instead of unwittingly finding myself wandering almost aimlessly in the wilderness. I need to get back on that trail you see in the foreground of the picture and get through the challenge of the hills closest to me before I will ever be able to get to the bottom of the mountains in the distance, and my goal is the summit on the horizon. With hiking, it's a process of putting one foot in front of the other and then the other as many times as it takes. So with WA I need to get back on my training schedule that I've somehow fallen away from, and responding with some comments is my next first step. That's my immediate challenge...
