The others are all on my goal list, and the other one that jumped out at me is #5. I have really become serious about my blog in the last few months (although I have seriously loved it since day 1) and balancing it with my family has been a struggle. One that I have really been trying to get better at! Thanks so much for your advice! Your newest follower!

There's always room to grow and goals continue to need to be set and reevaluated and reset ... so that you can maintain that flexibility you speak of and embrace change (with that said I'm still avoiding Twitter)!<br /><br />And I haven't chalk painted anything yet ... maybe we should embrace that change together!<br /><br />And I laughed out loud at your personal hygiene comment ... I too need to strike a better balance.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />LindaLinda @ it all started with painthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244682506329000538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-953449942132007352012-03-02T12:31:42.563-06:002012-03-02T12:31:42.563-06:00Thank you for taking the time to share the wisdom ...Thank you for taking the time to share the wisdom you have gained from you blog. <br /><br /><br />Sharon @ mrs. hines classSharon @ mrshinesclasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146251540064991619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-58031706378487310582012-03-02T10:19:23.894-06:002012-03-02T10:19:23.894-06:00hi debra!

I'm of a different generation than most of the bloggers I follow. I feel as though I have a little different outlook on things just because of the different phases of life I have been through.

There is so much good advice in this post.....Debra,<br />There is so much good advice in this post...thanks so much for sharing what you have learned. I often suffer from the guilt you mentioned about not having time to respond to every comment...I love reading them and then, sometimes, life (and a full time job) just get in the way of keeping up with every one personally. Blogging is so much fun that I never want to let it become just one more thing I "have to do".

I think I just like journaling and blabbing!<br />Although I have not made myself a schedule to blog, I am a little willy nilly with it. sometimes more, sometimes less, I never feel guilty when I am abscent from it. I see it as a fun hobby. I figure stuff gets in the way for all of us. I did try the chaulk paint and I think I may be wearing that out... My arm I mean. I love it and am painting everything in site!
