I don't know why bloggers are making it difficult for visitors to leave comments. Makes no sense. <br /><br />As an Ambassador it's doubly frustrating as I can't even leave a little "hello" behind. If I'm able to I tweet them, or email them and let them know about it. Happily I can report that those I've contacted didn't know people were having a tough time commenting.<br /><br />Thank you for dropping in and sharing your thoughts, much appreciated. :) :) Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-6866675106755611922015-04-05T18:45:27.051-07:002015-04-05T18:45:27.051-07:00Hi Susan, welcome to Pearson Report.

I am an essentially selfish person and look after myself - even when I had my 4 children little and living at home I always made sure I did stuff for me. I think it was a kindness to my kids and my husband. If I am happy and cared for then I am much more able to care for them. These days playing on the internet is something I do for me and of course there is my sewing. Even if I give my finished product away, sewing it is for me.ozzypiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751571081318370995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-46391703543099997442015-04-04T21:10:17.301-07:002015-04-04T21:10:17.301-07:00I take the time to blog and participate in this ch...I take the time to blog and participate in this challenge just for me.

What my goal ultimately became was "taking 15 minutes and setting it aside to write". The lack of writing was the direct result of the lack of time.<br /><br />Once I set the right goal the rest just happened. It is now a habit.
