I have neglected the blog a little. I could use my traditional excuse of being too busy, and with it promise that I will try harder to post more in 2015. Therein lies the challenge, I choose to be busy. I do not have to be busy. My diary does not entrap me without me allowing it to do or colluding with it. I am sure much of my busyness comes from a desire to be needed. I don’t have to feel guilty about taking time off, walking the dogs, spending time with family. I allow myself to be dictated to.

What I am going to attempt to do is say no a little more. I have been warned. It would have been easy to say: you have been warned. But that would be to sidestep the responsibility that is mine.

There you go: an epiphany type moment.
