An Explanation of Sorts

So some astute readers have noticed that it's been 6 days since I announced my 365 days of Pinterest projects, and I've only completed one project.

I could give you a list of excuses, but nobody wants to hear that.  Put simply, life happened.  And I learned that it's hard to add a component to life without making room for it.  Like how easy it is to say "I'm going to start exercising and lose weight," or "Someday I'm going to start volunteering."  But if you don't make room in your life for that activity or new behavior, it will quickly fall to the wayside.  So in retrospect, I've realized that I should probably assign myself a time of day to do the projects.  Otherwise, I may not get around to it.  Especially on my down days, which I've been fighting most of this week, and part of the reason for the challenge being daily is to help me through my ups and downs.  Believe me, this would be so easy if I just did zero projects on my down days and then make up for it on my up days by power-producing twenty projects.  That's why the challenge, for me, is to do this daily.  By noon.  With the blog post by 5pm.  Central Time.

And so, dear readers, thank you for your messages.  I'm most certainly not giving up on my project, so don't give up on me.
