Thanks for your warm words V - they always help. I too lost a long post that I was trying to write yesterday - poof gone - dead battery - probably for the best.
As far as motivation, to be honest, I was tired of letting more people down and being dragged down by that. It was a terrible cycle that I couldn't break free of.
I am still quite distracted at times (this forum does not exactly help with that - I find myself getting lost reading everyone's story) so I do limit my time here.
At some point I realized that there is nothing I can do about my M situation - nothing. and especially nothing at the time I should be working.
It really is all about taking the first step.
Doing a good, thorough job, being creative, making people happy with the product they are getting; all this helps my PMA which in turn helps my motivation to do more.
I am getting on track - but not nearly there yet.
THINGS ARE UNFOLDING
Thanks Vanilla
