Excuses, Excuses!

I am really at a low point for writing, I am afraid. I keep thinking that I can’t write because I have got nothing to write about. I am really enjoying having nothing I HAVE to do, perhaps too much, I think. I need pushing from without to get some things done. For example, I am definitely getting the urge and the inspiration to do some more art. But my "excuse" is that this work room needs cleaning before I can do this. Well, yes, that is true. I especially need to sort out the books I have piled up here and there, but if I had a project due for a class, of course I would get it done. It would take me oh, maybe 10 minutes to get this area in working order…

Yesterday I went for a long-ish walk. It was not as long or as fast as I used to go before the surgery, but it was better than I have been doing. And then I went for a short round-the-block afternoon walk, too. This is a lovely time of year to go for a walk with a camera. So, maybe I will do that this morning. That was how I got myself into walking the last time. Oh, and I had the rule that I could only listen to the IPod when I was out walking or inside cleaning the house! Music definitely makes walking more interesting. I have a reason to walk up to the drug store today. Last week they had the coffee we drink on sale at a very good price so I went to get some and they were out. Since I intended to buy two cans, they gave me two rainchecks and today is the day the coffee is supposed to be in!

It’s funny, I was thinking/writing the same thing about not writing today.

oh, I really hate feeling a burst of inspiration to do something, and then finding things too much a mess for me to work in, or something else that prevents me from just being able to DO it. And that often results in me making an excuse to go take a nap, or something, also! hugs, Weesprite

It’s very easy to let things go when we don’t have some sort of external deadline forcing us to do things. I’m really good at NOT doing things unless forced into it.

That first paragraph sounds just like me. I never realized how structured I was until I retired. Now I lay in bed and figure out what I am going to do and I try and get inspired to do it. I have a sewing room and I love to sew and do crafts. This room always needs to be cleaned out before I can attempt to do anything as it is the dumping grounds for everyone in the family. Wish I could make myself walk. I really need to to that too. Have a great day.

i remember reading you several years ago as you walked and lost weight. i walked and lost weight with you. you were my inspiration. i would read how you walked in the winter all bundled up and so i would bundle up and walk in the winter. i counted my steps as you counted your’s. i bought a pedometer after you got one and counted steps. take care,

I had some tell me today that getting a dog motivates people to get up and do something. I’m not sure if it’s true.

Well, I know I wouldn’t mind a few book reviews. I know you like scifi but I prefer mystery but not military oriented. Something that holds the interest just enough for late-night reading. I like the idea of you suggesting something for me personally. Can you find any fiction where the heroine is a middle-aged woman throwing caution to the wind?

You’re an inspiration, honest….Hugs,
