Now my goals are not so defined -- but are simply goals of direction in life.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-16567266852364489532011-06-03T07:16:47.464-07:002011-06-03T07:16:47.464-07:00Give yourself a break, Karen!

I lost my mom too this year, and I have to remember that it's okay to honor a time-out for a very good reason. I lost myself in some books over the month after she passed, and that was very soothing and therapeutic.I think you should give yourself extra credit on the things you HAVE done.

As you know I've also lost my mum this year and I've just accepted that writing has taken a back seat. We shouldn't expect so much of ourselves. At least we're both still blogging... and I've given up on making New Year resolutions too. It's only another day after all, a man-made division. Hope you're settling in to your new home.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-12764737444634488442011-06-02T06:56:36.434-07:002011-06-02T06:56:36.434-07:00Paul, A lot of people have said this.
