Tuesday I start sending out my new TIC TOCC timed creative prompts in my new newsletter so I have quite a bit of work to do on the computer. But the school Easter hols start today and so I want to focus on my kids as much as possible and not let the net take over.<br /><br />What do I want to give up? Worrying - it solves nothing and helps no one. I try not to but yet I still find myself worrying away almost always about other people. But my worry for them isn't helping them - I'd be better off giving them a hug, baking them a cake or just listening. <br /><br />Look forward to having you back. Hope you April off is fabulous fun.<br /><br />Kat XKat Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176200521240664479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-16249341947094576432011-04-05T12:00:20.395-05:002011-04-05T12:00:20.395-05:00My kids have been having way too much sugar in the...My kids have been having way too much sugar in the past year (ever since Halloween!) and so they are giving up all treats (except ice cream and milkshakes - we like to make up our own rules, too, don't we?!). They are only 4 and 6 and to be fair and to be a good example, I am giving up the same thing.<br /><br />After reading your blog, I have to admit, I realize that my one huge weakness is the internet, too! Next year, that should be my thing to give up! ... I have a whole year to get mentally ready for it ;)<br /><br />I wish you a wonderful lent with your family!Cynthia Rahardja Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155948060181715068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-30978717889841849592011-04-03T08:23:29.061-05:002011-04-03T08:23:29.061-05:00dear Shannon, I totally GET IT!

I have just come out the otherside of an art residency which coincided with my nearly losing a parent and it really does put things in to perspective! <br /><br />I spent two weeks blurring boundaries between art and life with some other crazy 'life' stuff going off too. Here I am appreciating what is important in life and I think you are right to go enjoy those things. Hope you have a wonderful time doing them in April and I look forward to hearing from you :)<br /><br />Amelia.xAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011651431719495166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-65415713965190134172011-04-02T03:50:56.205-05:002011-04-02T03:50:56.205-05:00I'm going through my home and simplifying it -...I'm going through my home and simplifying it - getting rid of clutter and things my family or I no longer need. In that way, my time in the future isn't wasted trying to find things that aren't easily accessible or in their proper place.Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-8948876562515996912011-04-01T16:37:53.244-05:002011-04-01T16:37:53.244-05:00i can so relate to this... but, i'm going to ...i can so relate to this... but, i'm going to have to refrain giving up computer time as much as i want to hop on the bandwagon with you. this is the last month of our life on the island and i will be documenting last trips here and there and probably a little of the thoughts and feelings i'm having as we culminate our island journey. but... i will give up..... i'll get back to you. : )nunuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851494771560597816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-67063794352565542112011-04-01T11:49:01.524-05:002011-04-01T11:49:01.524-05:00I love this post.
