It's easy to say, and much harder to do when you're a workaholic like me.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930730661273079224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-46540723026263142102011-01-28T19:16:04.813-05:002011-01-28T19:16:04.813-05:00Paisley, yep, dust can always wait.

My priorities changed when I lost several people close to me and now I look at life a whole lot differently. The dust can wait another day, but accepting a request from my hubby to go to Home Depot can't. I write every moment that I can get done because that is what I love doing most - sewing quilts is my next priority. It keeps me busy and very, very content.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-86758808078645665742011-01-28T17:12:31.045-05:002011-01-28T17:12:31.045-05:00My husband has 3 days off a week which was really ...My husband has 3 days off a week which was really eating into my writing time, until I realized I need that time off to spend with him and rejuvenate.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754506629717417267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-15562504600518314652011-01-28T11:09:40.136-05:002011-01-28T11:09:40.136-05:00Good for you, Joan.

I never did that but often took off evening to go out with my DH or socialize.
