I'm visiting from Karen's blog.
Moti...Hi. I'm visiting from Karen's blog.<br /><br />Motivation is important. I feel supremely unmotivated to iron my husband's work clothes, but it has to be done, and since I work part-time, and he works full-time, it's on me.<br /><br />I love writing more than ironing (of course), but I have problems with inspiration over motivation. If I'm depressed or tired, it doesn't seem to happen.<br /><br />I like the idea of storing for when we are ready to write.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-19043119932424377892010-09-01T08:53:58.701-05:002010-09-01T08:53:58.701-05:00Love this, Carol.
