It’s amazing how I’m in summer vacation and yet I can’t seem to find the time to write. Every time it looks like I have a second to get in front of the computer and write, something else comes up that I either have to do, or that I planned on doing…
Case in point today… First get up and clean the house. Then go to mass. Then come back home and prepare for my Godson’s pool party in our place (which by the way was a great time for the family, though I ate so much pizza that I still think I have some coming out of my ears!) After the party it’s clean up time. Then get the kids bathed and ready for sleep. After that I have to make a grocery run because we are out of milk and bananas, two staples in our house. Of course it becomes an actual grocery run not just a minor one. Come back and shower to remove all the chlorine of course… don’t want to sleep in that stuff. Finally, go online and print a bunch of stuff for a planning meeting regarding the relay I’ll be running in November. That gets me to now.
Sure I could just get to writing now, but you all know how long winded I am. But if you notice I didn’t run today, which means I’ll be running tomorrow morning at 6:30, before I take the boys to camp. I can’t write until two in the morning (which I find myself doing as my writing goes on and on and on while my brain wanders in infinite numbers of directions) today and then sleep a measly four hours. So I get on and just do this to make sure I don’t lose the habit of at LEAST writing something.
I already know what I want to write about this week. Let’s hope I get to my two main topics plus the ones that pop into my head as the week progresses… #1. Class Reunions, #2. The Humanity of Jesus Christ, #3. Who knows but I’m sure it’ll have my head spinning with ideas by the time I write it… I just hope that I can keep all my thoughts on the two topics I’ve been going over in my head for days now organized so that my blogs will be true to the feelings I first felt when they popped into my head. We’ll see what happens. By the way, if anybody wants to know my thoughts on any of a number of other topics (not to learn from me, I’m not doing this to teach, but maybe just to start conversations, or possibly, and even more fun, arguments) feel free to make suggestions. It’ll stimulate my brain and challenge me to think, something that I think that many of us are afraid to do sometimes, because the truth is that thinking may be dangerous. And sometimes sharing those thoughts may actually make us something we don’t like to be… vulnerable. So throw me whatever you got, and let’s see where it goes.
UGGH! It’s already 12:15 am! Gotta sleep! Well, good night all! I’m a gonna read some Sherlock Holmes until my eyes can’t stay open no more…
