So I've customised my template and downloaded an attractive yet metaphorical background. It had to be metaphorical because if you type "moon" or "twilight" into any given search engine, all you get is images of rather peaky teenagers taking themselves too seriously. So the vintage look was somewhat unplanned - like all the best discoveries.
My medium is words, not pictures. If, in typical blog style, I were to pass on a taste of my extensive homespun wisdom, it would be "accept your limitations but don't let them limit you." Which is less immediately useful than my other great life lessons ("When on a train, take the first free seat you see" and "The best things in life make your fingers smell") but it means I won't waste my time trying to develop a sophisticated design when it will take far longer than the 10,000 hours you're supposed to spend practising to become an expert at something. Yes, practise and practise until your fingers are numb, keep going, keep trying, keep on - but choose wisely. There are only so many hours in the day, and some of them need to be used eating and sleeping. As the mother of a toddler, sleeping doesn't feature particularly highly in my day, and eating featyuresprobably too highly, but once you deduct those, and working and driving and cooking and cleaning , there isn't all that much time for living. OK, so sleeping and eating and working and driving and cooking and cleaning are living, and can be enlightening and educational - but wouldn't you rather be doing something you've chosen to do?
