Multi tasking

I began writing a new novel this week and sometimes I wonder if it is true that all women are good multi-taskers.  I vowed to write a blog post each weekday, but I began the new novel on Monday and have been consumed all week with building another group of fictional characters and have neglected my blogging.  Perhaps it's all the rest of my life that gets in the way, you know, kids, groceries, worrying about the economy.  I'm sure you know of what I speak.

It struck me on Monday, as I began sketching out the my new cast of characters, how important it is to work on something you love.  My grandfather used to say his secret to a long and healthy life was to 'do something, it doesn't matter what, but do something'.  I agree, and would like to add, do something you love and not only will you live a long time but life will be rich and joyous.

Is there something you love that you've been putting off because you're too busy, or worry you can't multi-task?  Just start.  Today.  You might surprise yourself.  I know I did.
