And, because that is a challenge to consciously do the one thing everyday -- it is really keeping me focused on it! Which is a good thing. <br /><br />Thanks again - and I hope you got the decorations put away.

Creating blogs is fun...keeping them up can be stressful. Especially if we're the type of women who think we can do more than we can. <br /><br />Like writing a daily blog entry! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Louise: "How Do You Do That"?<br /><br />So my suggestion would be to relax your schedule. Maybe posting daily on your new blog (I LOVE your idea: :A Year of Making a Difference") and then updating "Recover Your Joy" weekly. Move your link to "get updated email" to the top of your page and then anytime you post, your readers will be notified.<br /><br />Sometimes we outgrow a blog, too. Quite a few people have worked through a crisis (or whatever purpose they had in creating a blog) and moved on to something new--a new blog, a new website...They plant themselves in a different environment and continue blossoming. <br /><br />I still read through 'old' blogs by people. It's like browsing someone's diary (a real treasure and pleasure to read!). <br /><br />Just a few thoughts this morning...and NOW I must get myself off this computer and put away the Christmas decorations!<br /><br />Love,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-12942500957459446562012-01-09T11:30:29.634-07:002012-01-09T11:30:29.634-07:00Wow Maureen -- what a great idea -- re plants.

You'll also make a difference that way.<br /><br />I admire anyone who can do more than one blog. Not writing for this one every day is one way to save some stress. Another idea might be to figure out how to combine them, so that the story that starts here and is relevant to recovering joy ends at your second blog where you narrate how the story makes a difference.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-91981126963875025312012-01-09T10:23:03.789-07:002012-01-09T10:23:03.789-07:00Haha Joyce!
