The Need to Focus

I haven’t been on here much lately, but I have been keeping busy. I’ve been working on my own websites (somewhat), but I am also in charge of three different not-for-profit organization’s websites as well. One is wanting some revamping done. I know this doesn’t make me any money, but it has been teaching me new skills that I can apply to my other websites if needed. I’m always ready to learn and this has definitely been a learning opportunity.

I recently adopted a rescue cat, and I’ve been spending time with him. It’s a slow process, but I’m finally gaining his trust, and he’s finally coming out into the house a little more.

The picture shown isn’t of my cat. I’ve tried getting a picture of him the few times he has come out, but the camera scares him. He’s a little over a year old, and has spent most of his life in a 5’ x 5’ cage, so our house is all new to him. We had two cats, but one died this Spring. The other one has really been depressed, so we really though that she needed a friend as she’s never been alone. Even though they’re far from best friends, the new cat has definitely perked her up.

I love all animals and another project that’s caught my attention recently is observing two owls that have been hanging out in our yard. I love bird watching, but owls aren’t the easiest to catch as they’re usually out at night. One of them sits on a low branch of a mimosa tree at the corner of our yard and I usually catch him out there at dusk. One early morning I lucked out and caught them both sitting up in a tree close to the house. I was thrilled to get this picture.

I wish I found it easier to write, but I’ve been struggling with that lately. I have so many ideas, and I feel like I’m headed in so many directions. Sometimes I feel like a mentor would help me, but I’m not really comfortable in asking others for help. I do read a lot of motivational material, but reading isn’t doing.

I may be away from the computer quite a bit next month as I’ll be spending a lot of time with friends and family. Hopefully by September I will have a better focus, along with increased motivation. Wish me well. 👍
