You are so right! It is so easy to focus on the end-goal, and forget to be grateful for where we are. I'm trying to develop more mindfulness, and a greater ability to notice and appreciate the present moment. It's a work-in-progress, though!
For example, I have a spreadsheet where I track my weight, and it includes a chart of "where I could be" if I continue at a reasonable pace of weight loss. Maybe I should delete it, because it's future-focused and numbers-oriented. But I find it very motivating to envision progress! So, I'm keeping it for now, but trying to keep in mind that it's a tool, not a yardstick of success or a measure of my self-worth.

You have such a great attitude regarding staying flexible with timing! And yes, I'm sooooo ready to be done with COVID.
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic on the COVID front, since my parents were able to get vaccinated last week and my husband's parents have managed to get appointments for next week. I hope the pace of the rollout keeps increasing.
How are you doing this weekend? Any fun plans? 50 days ago

Well, THAT will surely make SparkPeople a little *brighter* if you're here, dearest!! Let me know if you want to be on the current team right now. It's pretty slow-going with all the focus everyone's had on the changes we've all had to adapt & evolve with, but we're holding on tight - using it for a touch-down place, and YOU are most certainly (forever) welcome if ever you need or want the *love* LOL!! ::hugs:: yer' Annie 50 days ago

It's a bummer that the pandemic might delay your move and the webseries. (For those of us who love planning ahead, COVID sure manages to muck up our plans.)
Regardless of how soon you're able to start putting your dreams into action, I'll be cheering you on!

Audiobook narration sounds really interesting! As much as I love to read, I imagine it'd be pretty neat to narrate audiobooks. Every time that you work on a new book, you'd be learning new things or enjoying a new story! (Of course, it probably has much more difficulty and tedium than I'm imagining, but every job does, really.)
I hope that we don't have to wait too many more months for a vaccine, and that you'll be able to work on the webseries later this year. I'd love to watch it! 58 days ago
