Today I am going for another ‘first.’ I have decided to join in with Linda’s Stream of Consciousness posts as well as the Just Jot It January one!! Please check these out as they are great fun, and I have already met some wonderful new bloggers.
It is not often that I actually pause to think about what I am doing, or where I am going. I am a worrier which means that I very often go over and over things worrying about how I might be interpreted or whether or not I have unintentionally offended anyone, but that is different.
It would be beneficial to me I am sure to have some direction, as I tend to just blunder on through each day not really thinking about what I am doing. I do things ‘off the cuff’ quite often without thinking too much about it.
Even starting my blog, I had no clue really about what I was going to write about or how often I would post. It just sort of evolved really. I suppose in many ways, I could be accused of being careless, as I rush through, going from one thing to another. I decide that I want to do something then go for it putting everything into it. Then I go on to something else.
Maybe I am searching for something, I don’t know because I never pause long enough to find out!
Happy New Year! May 2016 treat you well!

What I love about blogging is that there doesn’t need to be a direction, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying about it haha! Happy new year my lovely – I look forward to reading your posts in 2016!

I’m a worrier, too, and know exactly what you mean. I don’t see it as ‘blundering through.’ You’re just spontaneous, letting your creativity carry you on your journey. Happy New Year, Judy! Looking forward to seeing where it carries you next! 🙂 xo

You are simply going with the flow. And you decide while things come your way which way to chose…. honestly, that is living in the moment! I know what you mean with “having more of a plan”, but in the end…. this is YOUR way! And it brought you where you are today!

Hi Judy, I think sometimes its fine to just let it happen…..explore an idea and enjoy the journey as so often you don’t know where it will take you and that for me is one of the joys of writing, exploring an idea….enjoyed your response.

A blog, much like imagination, creativity, the thought process, even life itself…can be so random. I rather enjoy it that way. Keep doing what you do. ☺

Allowing your blog to take shape as you go is best. If you try to conform to original ideas when your heart is going elsewhere, it comes through in the writing. You have an amazing blog, Judy… and Happy New Year

There’s a lot to be said for stopping to smell the proverbial roses – we who are exceptionally busy have to remind ourselves often, and even then it’s not easy!

Judy E Martin
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
