Frustration. . . .

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Why is it that the only time my brain shuts off is when I sit down to write? All day my mind is humming in the background with thoughts and musings and ideas and . . . and the moment I open up the window for a new blog post . . . nothing. Nada. Zilch. Brain dead. Same when I sit down to work on my fiction writing project.

Aargh. How do you get past this?!?

Musing About the Day

Beautiful, but HOT day in north Texas. Enjoyed a fun visit from some friends we don't get to see often, then putzed around the house. I am so grateful to have such a beautiful property to retreat to on the weekends. Of course, I get to come home to it every night, but it's only on the weekends that I really get the chance to enjoy it — either admiring the view out the window of my home office, or — even better — experiencing it during my morning “run.” I love it here, and I'm thankful more and more that I get to call this place home.

Pondering today a bit the strange ways life works out — friends lost, friends found. You just never know where the next surprise will come from, do you?
