Is It Time To Call It Quits?

APRIL 13, 2023 – I am NOT a quitter. That is important to say. As much as I try, I cannot seem to make time to make this blog and it’s associated podcast a regular thing as I had hoped. It takes a LOT of time and even though I no longer have a ‘job’, my days are not spent sitting in front of the TV eating bon bons. There are so many things to do when you have to keep house, and a camper, with 3 huskies and 2 other adults. I have dreams of the day that I can sit and reflect on the life we have built, right now I have to evaluate the NOW.

So, as I sit here taking a rare moment to spit out some thoughts, I am thnking about all the things that I have yet to finish. Between the normal every day-to-day operations of “living the American Dream” a.ka. home ownership, I also have personal projects and hobbies that keep me sane. Striking a balance is hard. I hate to quit anything. Some things, I cannot simply just quit, like cleaning which seems to have no end in sight. Most things, I can put on hold. This blog has been on hold and unfortunately, just might be on of those things I have to actually quit.

For example, right now, I am working on a few genealogy books, which also have a blog, and both take a LOT of time and focus. It isn’t unsual for me to be up until 2 or 3am up to my eyeballs in research data. I have missed personal deadlines to complete these books a few times and that doesn’t sit well with me. I also have tons of videos from our Wheel Epic Adventures. We are planning a few more adventures, kicking the first one off in May. Of course, the best Wheel Epic Adventures, are those that are not planned…and I am sure something will come to fruition before May.

I also want to return to the craftroom and utlize all those wonderful things I have spent years collecting. I have so many ideas floating in my head and when I am creative I feel better.

I am certain that all the things ,I have my hands in, will balance out and those things that remain will thrive until the next time I feel overwhelmed.

Thanks for your time….
