Getting my Head Back in the Game
So, I have taken a little bit of a hiatus recently. I am hoping to be back for the long haul now, though. Initially, my break was intentional. I wanted to get my blogs up and running. Because I have problems with getting distracted, I knew I wouldn't get anything done if I didn't take a break from posting here.
I have finally reached the point where I feel like writing again, but unfortunately, my blogs are nowhere near where I want them to be. That being said, I rediscovered the rhythm of the night I used to love so much when I was younger. I am more inclined to work all night than to wake up early to write. Now, if only I can overcome my desire for perfection.

Hey Sandi
I also lost my mum 3 years ago just before Christmas as well. It still stings but I surround myself with the memories of her and that her Spirit is constantly at my side. I am happy to have been made in her likeness and celebrate that. Time will take away some of the sting. And if any indication could be given on this blog I think by just sharing you are already on the way to recovering your balance.

Thank you, Hugh. I am hoping that time will make things easier. I won't know for sure until it has been longer than a month. Writing, though, should take my mind off of things.
Hi Sandi
Losing our Mum has to be one of the hardest things in life, no matter what age they or we are when they pass. I encourage you to sign up with a grief share group, there are bound to be some online if not available face to face due to lockdown restrictions. Sending you love, a big hug and condolences.
With your online business, try focus just to write and post to your site, it doesn't have to be perfect and you can always go back and "upgrade" what you have written at a later stage. The most important thing is to keep writing - I know because I stopped and it's been very challenging to get going again.
Blessings lovely

Thank you, Louise. Writing has been very therapeutic for me. I have also discovered (or, rather, rediscovered), the time that I am the most productive. I have found that I am at my best during the overnight hours.
I lived with my mom and, when she was alive, I felt guilty staying up all night and sleeping during the day. My mom was a morning person and, because I didn't want to disturb her at night, I changed my schedule to suit hers. Now, though, I have stayed up all night writing and I am at my creative best when it is pitch black outside.
Hi
I am so sorry for your loss
I know first hand because it is just over a month since my mom was buried
It does not get any better if you're a child or adult
Time is the only healing factor
You can reach to me if you want
Focusing on your website can also be a distraction as you take your time and come to grips with her death
I wish you well as you go forward
Thank you so much. I am sorry for your loss as well. Given my age, I wasn't expecting it to hit me as hard as it did. I don't think it is ever an easy thing to go through.
No, it is never easy
The WA community got me through this and they will get you through as well
