...how do you beat this "disease" so to speak? This thing they call writer's block? I am sitting here thinking of what to write and nothing comes to mind. Is my mind really that blank? No... it's not... yet I come up empty. *sigh* I could say something about the weather... after all there has been a significant change in it here over the past few days. There has been rain... cold winds... fog... humidity... etc. Today the sun is fighting to shine through, even though the humidity and coolness stays. The prospect of a return to mild sunny afternoons appears to lie in wait... as if it were saying, "I've been here all along... you just didn't know it." It is nice this winter here in the desert. I do miss the snow and cold, but there's something to be said for it being 60+ degrees on a daily basis in the month of December when a lot of places will struggle just to get out of the teens or colder. :)
I'm feeling a bit "blah" today for some reason. I don't blame it on the weather at all, either. The weather, the way it has been the past few days, is quite enjoyable for me. When you see the sun shine for 40 straight days the sight of rain and clouds is a welcome one. I did, however, manage to come down with a bit of a cold. It started Friday morning... got worse Saturday... and then better Sunday night into Monday... and worse this morning. I'm hoping I can fight it off before my planned workouts the next few days, but if I don't... I will still get my workouts in! :)
The feeling of "blah" could be something else, though. Possibly it's the thought of missing the holidays and spending them with loved ones. After all, I haven't had to do that yet. This year is really the first time I haven't been able to make the trip home. I know I will make up for it once I get back to the states in a few months, but for the time being it's a little tough. Christmas is just 11 days away, and as it gets closer and closer I suppose these "blah" feelings will probably increase. Add to it that I'm unusually tired considering I slept about 9 hours altogether last night and this morning. Perhaps my walk to lunch will help somewhat... and with it being pasta day... lunch will be enjoyable. :)
I also wonder if it's just one of those days... it happens to all of us. I logged on to blog today and noticed I lost one of my 2 followers... yes... it's very sad that I only had 2, and it's even more sad that I now only have one. :( Of course, I do this blog thing for myself, so it's really not a big deal but at the same time it's upsetting for some odd reason. Oh well... I suppose... you can't control other people nor would I want to try. Ultimately people make their own choices just as I do, and usually they have their reasons for whatever those choices are.
Anyway... as I close today... I believe all it took to beat that writer's block was a starting point... just putting a few words down and running with it. It may not be my most interesting or best blog I've ever written, but it does feel good to know that I was able to work my way through it. :)
Peace, Love, and Poker
