Wednesday 9th November

I am now beginning to feel slightly human again, but have realised, unsurprisingly that I have indeed taken on too much.  I have read an awful lot over the last few years about successful artists and businessmen and they all have something in common.  They all seem to be geared towards one single goal and manage to avoid distractions.  I need to look long and hard over the next few weeks at what it is that I want to do.  I of course want to keep the business going strong.  I enjoy it more and more, especially with the added bonus of actually writing plays to be performed.  I t makes a good deal of difference to the way I approach the shows.  I love the writing side more than I ever thought I would, as I think I may have mentioned on here once or twice.  The degree course however, has been little more than a tiresome distraction during busy times, and I think I may have to give it up.  I have spent a lot of time and money on it over the last few years, and I have to question why?  Is it for the good of the business or is it simply something to boast about?  I need to decide I think.  I also give up a lot of time to my voluntary work, and I am beginning to share similar feelings towards it that a good friend of mine does to his.  Do I really need some of the associated hassle that comes with it?  There is also the question of another voluntary opportunity that I have, which is to take on a venture that has been going for 30 years.  I really feel quite strongly that this would be a worthwhile exercise, and as a result, I am leaning towards it.  It will not involve anywhere near the degree of work that other ventures have...so I am seriously considering it.  As you can tell dear reader, I am in a thoughtful mood at the moment, and perhaps feeling a little down.  I shall endeavour to lighten up and move forward with my usual joy as soon as possible.
