I’ve decided I want to blog more regularly. Only one month out of each year doesn’t cut it. At least I’m getting an earlier start this year…… The thing is, I’ve wanted to do this for some time but I wanted to keep it about my photography business. The problem is I had to stop taking new clients because I wasn’t able to follow through on getting images to people. I had held out hope that I would get better soon…. and then soon became eventually, and now I just don’t know. I still hope to get better and work toward that end, but my doctors have convinced me that I need to modify both my expectations and my efforts. Not to give up hope, but to redirect my energies in ways that don’t make the situation worse.
To that end, I’ve decided to blog about what’s going on with me, maybe some scenic photos or snapshots of grandkids too, but mostly what I’m doing on an ongoing basis to keep my wits about me and how this cognitive disorder has effected my day-to-day life. Maybe I’ll review some of my favorite places in and around Prescott and other parts of the state too. That could be fun! But don’t hold me to it….. No. Better yet, call me on it. Nothing high pressure, that totally puts me into a state of panic these days, maybe just a gentle reminder. I’ll let you know if I can’t handle it.
I’ll talk about photography too. That’s still a big part of who I am. I’ve lost part of who I am now (my tech brain), and I’ll fight tooth and nail not to lose any more. For better or worse, my personality seems to be intact, I’ll let you be the judge on the plusses and minuses of that.
This isn’t my New Years resolution or anything. It’s just one of several things I need to do.
Until next time, then……..
