Recommitting, refocusing, re-evaluating and then making the decision to move, "that's what it's all about, Charlie Brown." (Sorry to steal a line from Charlie Brown.) We complicate our lives, other people and incidents do that too, but we can clear out the negative thoughts, fill it with joy and positivity and take the baby steps forward. Keep pluggin' forward, RT. Blessings to you.CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220408259844062715.post-82423849552071912402016-12-24T10:23:12.546-06:002016-12-24T10:23:12.546-06:00You are a writer, Lynn.

Thank God all of us can improve, get better, work harder, think outside the box, "Come to Jesus," because that's what HE wants us to do. Creativity comes directly from God. How we use our talents that honors the gift. Congratulations as you continue to write for yourself, your readers and for your sanity.CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220408259844062715.post-91369279919984232542016-12-24T10:19:02.607-06:002016-12-24T10:19:02.607-06:00Thank you, Luanna.

I was not able to recover from the trauma, but with time and help of patient mentors, I've at least come to terms with the re-evaluation and not like you said, bashing our foreheads against a brick wall. There's always a way around, under, over, or through the walls to our goals, or we're still free enough to choose to change our goals to fit our needs. Congratulations on your progress toward your major goals. Doesn't matter what path as long as your take steps forward. You're welcome for the new realizaitons.CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220408259844062715.post-58644708834846184852016-12-24T10:15:41.857-06:002016-12-24T10:15:41.857-06:00Thanks HiDee for allowing me the time on our blog....Thanks HiDee for allowing me the time on our blog. I do love to take about goals and time management all of which I have yet to master. It was not always easy to be gentle or kind with myself. That was part of the problem. So I'm still learning.

Love the post! I have had a number of "come to Jesus" moments, in which I confirmed and reconfirmed that I want to continue to write even when I feel talentless. So not a change but a deeper confirmation that I'm a writer (for real) and I will continue to write. For myself, for readers, for sanity.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995410883984004330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220408259844062715.post-65021503153070297812016-12-22T10:44:22.858-06:002016-12-22T10:44:22.858-06:00Wow, that is an impressive list of accomplishments...Wow, that is an impressive list of accomplishments! In various blogs I've read about goal setting, one of the suggestions is to re-evaluate regularly, sometimes as often as the end of every month. Life has a way of throwing up barriers and it's not fun to bash our foreheads against a brick wall. So step back and see if there's a doorway, or walk on a bit further and turn a corner. I bullet journal and I devote one page of my monthly layout to my goals. I'm not at all surprised to find cross-outs and emendations all over those pages, LOL. I'm still making progress toward my major goals, I'm just taking a different path. Thank you for the chance to think this through and come to a few realizations. :DLuanna Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594016051931769407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220408259844062715.post-70696780682064239142016-12-22T08:55:32.310-06:002016-12-22T08:55:32.310-06:00Carol, this is an awesome article.
