Is this a thing now?

I haven’t written here in a while. I guess I am not sure what I should write. I started a blog because I have thoughts. So. Many. Thoughts. Just ask my husband, this morning I talked for a solid twenty minutes about the obvious inability of the snow plow drivers to think for themselves otherwise our road would’ve been plowed a week ago. He’s such a great listener and for that I am lucky. But I don’t want to take advantage. I don’t want him or anyone else to ever think, “God, just shut up for once.” So why not start a blog right? Everyone’s doing it! So I did too. But where do you go from here?

As with most things I probably just read too much into things. After all this is anonymous right? There is no way anyone is going to actually read it right? Now I have comments on my page and I have to say, I’m absolutely unprepared. When pondering a possible direction for this site my ever faithful listener said something brilliant, “Why don’t you just write whatever comes to your mind? Who care what anyone thinks?” Aha! Why didn’t I think of that?

I thought about that on the way to work this morning, writing whatever comes to my mind. It sounds easy enough. As I mentioned, there are always thoughts. I think my struggle is that my happiest, most energetic, creative moments are in the morning. Morning is totally my thing. I got to bed early just so I can get up early, before the sun, before the rest of the world. But right at the moment I am able to pull those thoughts together into something coherent, something worth writing down, I have to get in my car and to go work. And just to be clear, I hate my job. But that’s another topic for another day.

So the question is, as I’m sure with a million others, how do I make the time? How do I balance the creative with mundane? Better yet, how do I get more creative and less mundane? I have a stack of books next to my bed that are supposed to be helping with that. I have faith in the Universe though. I have a feeling the answer is standing just on this other side of the door. And maybe this blog is part of that answer. For that reason, I believe today is going to be a good day.
