Then, the analogy of how other people, activities, etc. can also take up too much energy, time, etc. yes, your counseling background does become evident, Joan, and that's a good thing. Sure, it's nice to post about things, family, and the like but posts that make us stop and think awhile are always much appreciated by myself and evidently many others too.Beatrice P.

He is doing well, just needs to get the walking up again but at the moment it is quite painful to walk too far. I am okay too, still working 2 days a week but finish about mid Sept. so I'm looking forward to that.<br />I enjoyed your post.<br /><br />Dianadoodles n daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489851609110132969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971373356006819843.post-45555076786002982912013-07-28T05:48:56.981+01:002013-07-28T05:48:56.981+01:00One of the freeing things about blogging for me is...One of the freeing things about blogging for me is the realization that no one has to view my posts or comment on them. If they do and enjoy them and leave supportive comments it is rewarding for me, but like you, if I am going to put the time into blogging I have to be real to make it worth my time. Blogging is a wonderful creative outlet for me. It combines many of my creative interests and through it I have been been tremendously rewarded to meet interesting creative folk like you who stimulate my human growth through posts that challenge my thinking and cause me to question my being as you have through your great tree clearing analogy, Joan! Balancing how much of anything is enough in my life is forever a challenge for me, but so very worth it when the Lord helps me remove the overgrowth of things in my life that hide rewarding views of life around me such as you remember having from your lovely little summer hut. The removal of overgrowth in my life can be a scary or at least startling process as it was for your postman :) but how exciting and stimulating to consider how I can best develop the spaces in my life that open for new growth and development! Thanks for posting!
