Writer's block...

Wiki says: "Writer's block is a condition in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. It can be trivial, a temporary difficulty in dealing with the task in hand. At the other extreme, some "blocked" writers have been unable to work for years on end. Writer's block may have many causes... A writer may run out of inspiration, or something more serious like physical illness or depression, financial pressures", etc.

Why did I write that for you, readers? Because someone pointed out to me that I haven't been writing as much as lately. And I asked myself "Why?" Well, part of it has to do with being busy with school, and work, and real life, too. School is back, but without as much vengeance or intensity as the math class I just completed. (That one pushed my limits, and I find I'm looking for that again!) While my current classes are interesting, they're a little slow paced. Or maybe I'm just the A-type who thrives on a million and one things going on. I know that I had an issue with changing my life after being on the go all the time when I had six kids to shuffle from activity to meeting to school to friends. It took a little while to adjust to it. I figured I'd adjust in August after math ended. So now, I tend to hunt for things to keep me busy!

Besides the actual busy things in life, I have a few other issues that I'm trying to deal with in my own way. Sometimes life takes funny paths and sometimes the little things keep nagging at you, until you do something about them. I'm still at the "being nagged" stage, and haven't done anything about the issues. Suffice it to say that "this too shall pass".

However, I am pushing through some of it, and making sure I get myself out and feed my need for taking pictures. Wednesday, I left work early and walked downtown Chandler and took a few shots, like these boots on display (link here to see more). It was a beautiful morning for taking photos.

I'll get the writing bug back soon, I'm sure; most days, I don't feel right if I'm not writing! Aren't you lucky? haha
HUGS to everyone!
