Although it wasn't a full-on leap, since my husband has a job. But I did quit my own stable, well-paying job. Two years later, my kids are both in school and things seem to be gelling at last. It takes a while - so much learning, networking, and oh yeah, writing! :-)Julie Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477115458570906449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-27576284415369022102011-12-16T05:37:32.347-08:002011-12-16T05:37:32.347-08:00@Yvonne, it's such a catchy song, isn't it...@Yvonne, it's such a catchy song, isn't it?

That's a good point, I think I will be able to focus better once the holidays are over. I hope so anyway!<br /><br />@Shannon, thanks!!<br /><br />@Lynn Marie, thank you, I really appreciate it. That's exactly what I do, I can always find something else to get caught up in. Here's to changing that next year. :)<br /><br />@Jules, thanks, here's hoping!

Some day...Yea! On 500 miles. That's fantastic.<br /><br />Some days it is harder to get my mind focused than others. Then it seems every time I find momentum, something swoops in to stop it. Like the holidays. <br /><br />We all need some down time to refuel. Maybe schedule that in, too.
