I hesitated for ages about replying to an invitation to a charity event for this reason. <br /><br />Once I start to write emails they take ages to compose, I never fill in the 'to' box until I am finally satisfied, much editing and crafting takes place as they must be right. Reminds me of writing OU essays some forty years ago.

A few years ago I wrote a blog on procrastination which was humorous in tone, but hid a deeper rooted problem.<br />Never full of confidence I found after John's death that even the small amount needed to tackle everyday tasks was difficult to muster.<br />We are all very different and have to find our own solutions to this not very well understood problem.<br />For me sudden surges of mental and physical energy allow me to cope with most things, but in between times I shun even the most basic of tasks (at one time this included making phone calls) and just wait for the defeatist mood to pass.<br />John would not have recognised this facet of my nature since his presence gave me a sort of Dutch courage which allowed me to do most things.<br />At heart I suspect it may be a form of laziness.<br />Perhaps like taking 'nasty' medicine as a child, it is best to hold your nose and just swallow the dose.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
