Way to go, Rosa! You've done a great thing! Thank you for mentioning the ADD thing; finishing *anything* is an issue for me, so now I've something to research. If you have any links to share, I'd appreciate it.

So glad to see you back. I was a little worried.

Looks like the run did you good -- especially your spirits!

Good for you!!!! Give yourself a big hug---or better yet, have one of your babies (or all of them) to give you a big hug!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! Both on the race and the picture... it is gorgeous

You know, when I have a case of knitting/spinning ADD (heck, that would be ALL THE TIME ) I found something that used to work when I still did my cross stitch, also works here: make a rotation of your projects. What I do is make a list of my 5 top projects I want to work on. Then I work on them for an hour (or an evening or how ever long I want) and move on to the next one on my list. After having done #5 I either add a new project and start over with #1 or I just go back to #1 and do it again. You get the satisfaction to work on everything on your list, you get to mix things up and you make progress on it all without feeling overwhelmed with things that you 'should' be working on.

When a project is finished, you get to start a totally new one and not an existing WIP/UFO

Hi Rosa,
I'm a new reader to your blog...love it so far! just had to post here to thank you for your inspiration and dedication on your 5k. I'm currently psyching myself up to try it out as well, but can't get the oomph to get my butt downstairs to the treadmill. I've always wanted to be an athlete. Seeing your picture with your number and that huge grin on your face says it all for me. Congratulations.

BTW - love the vintage sheet thing too...I've completed one quilt, and am starting to hoard, er collect some more.
