Have you ever been addicted to anything, or
worried that you were? Have you ever spent too much time and effort on
something that
was a distraction from your real goals? Tell us about it.
Well, if you
had asked me this yesterday (on the actual October 9, 2015), I would have told
you I was a bit addicted to writing this blog, which IS one of my real personal
goals, but not a goal that is more important than all the other goals in my
life. For example, I make sure I complete this blog every day, but sometimes
that means my professional development class assignments fall behind because my
personal goal to blog daily for a year is my addiction; whereas, my
professional goals are my livelihood, a bit more important, wouldn’t you
say. I sometimes sacrifice sleep for my
blogging and sometimes put my son or husband on hold until I finish writing and
posting. If that’s not a type of addiction, I don’t know what addiction is, I
guess. J
That said, I
now know that it is not as serious an addiction as I originally thought because
until 5 pm TONIGHT, OCTOBER 10, I forgot to write my Oct. 9th blog
on addiction. This is the first time in the
281 finished days of 2015 that I completely forgot because some family concerns
took precedence over my mind and heart. A true addiction would have overridden
even that, so thank goodness, I am not hopelessly addicted, only marginally
addicted to blogging. So, tonight, unfortunately,
you get double-duty, just like me, as you read two blog entries.
