Blog update. WIP

I am playing around with the format.  Not sure how its working yet.  And it is certainly not finished. 

But I need to start.  Its time for a reboot. I am working on my new website and I have just figured out how to link this blog directly to it.  This may change.  But for the meantime,  why not.  Its something to edit, rearrange and consider.  In situ.

Its like hanging pictures  - you just have to get them up and figure it out once its there.

I am finding working on this website HARD.  As in its something I want desperately to be distracted from.  I don't know what I am doing, it seems to be going very slowly.  I am working it out as I go along.  But the main thing is I have started and even though I am (now included) findinng there are all sorts of other things to do instead of focusing on it.  I am consistently returning to the task at hand.

I realised this morning as I went to do the washing up.  This is one of those things that is difficult.  Its difficult because I don't know exactly what to do.  And I feel extraordinarily like running away from it and doing things that are easy, concrete and achieveable instead.  Like the washing up. (like this blog post).  This is a classic case of distraction.  I know it well.

I thought about it.  I knew it was something I needed to consiously tackle.  I remembered my meditation practice.  Its a practice.  We learn to improve our focus.  Everytime you find yourself on a train of thought, and you notice..... you return to your breath, you return to the present, you return to the practice.  And this IS the practice.

So whenever I found myself doing other things.  Such as the washing up, or (this blog) whatever.  I notice.  And I return to the task at hand.

I am building a new website.  One step at a time.  It is a work in progress.  It is iterative.  I will get there as long as I keep returning to my task.

And with that, dear readers......  I am off to get to it. 

Namaste
