I'm not sure how interested anyone who might look in on this site is in hearing about my personal journey, but I'm throwing this in, mostly as an incentive to moi.
I'm making a determination to write at least 2 blog entries per week. I'm making this determination public so as to help myself feel more urgency. Also to make it easier to pass up the "easy stuff" - the FB meanders, the Pinterest dawdles, that kind of stuff.
Focus. Focus. Focus. If I were living in the future when my communication screen could float permanently in front of my eyes, I'd have that at the top all the time. However...
Here and now is where we are. Not a bad motto, by the way. I think I may make the posts shorter, and covering a wider range of topics. For instance, I'm going to pull commonly asked questions off the houseplant forums, and answer them at some length.
I'm also redoing what I laughingly refer to as a daily schedule, to add more but shorter blocks of time for instructional and inspirational reading, and defined blocks for each of my projects each day - maybe only 10 mins at a time, but each one each day.
I think I'll get myself a new timer and carry it with me around my neck.
I know the main topic of this blog is supposed to be plants, houseplants; but my thoughts, emotions, struggles as a human being are part of the environment of the plants I care for. As such, these things are also a legitimate subject for conversation on a blog about plants and their "thoughts."
Which is, oddly enough, going to be the subject of the next post...the intersection of people's thoughts and plants' reactions.
