Too many hobbies.

I am not, will not, blame my lack of writing on anything. Ever since I started reading 'Pen on Fire," (yes, I'm STILL reading it.) I don't believe in writers block. There for I will no longer blame my lack of writing on writer's block. Nor will I blame it on not having enough time. The book is teaching me to take advantage of 15 minute windows of time here and there. I believe I am pursuing this goal. I just haven't been writing a lot lately and I think I've discovered the reason why (which, is not an excuse).

I have too many hobbies.

I crochet. It's a pretty new thing and I haven't even begun to exhaust the ideas rolling around in my head.

I read. Not really that much. But usually I read a topic I'd like to learn more about or a topic that applies to areas of my life I'd like to grow.

I write. As you can see. But I also, continuously keep notes on topics I read.

I freelance graphic design. Just here and there. But when I have a project I really want to be at the computer doing it.

How does one let go of the things they enjoy? Maybe there is a happy medium. Do I prioritize and do what I want to do most at the certain time? Or do I focus on only one thing until it is complete?

I can't help but mention with all these hobbies there is one thing I enjoy and love more than any of them, that consumes my time and brightens my day more than any hobby ever will: my family. I gladly set aside all of these things for them. There is no question about it. I'd rather spend a day chasing around E and cuddling with R then do any amount of hobbies.

Hobbies are just the accent to my life.

I think this is probably the best problem I have ever had. Any advice? Comments are surely welcome.

Keep Loving.
