Well, as I reviewed my posting from last week, I noted that I meant, I really did, I meant to post another blog over the long weekend on the art of writing.
Well, somewhere between intention and action, my life turned to mush between work deadlines, and gettting sick (somehow I managed to pick up a cold or somesuch thing with a lingering cough - first time I've gotten sick from traveling in ages). And there are other things going on as well...aren't there always? Today is the first day since that post that I have felt fully with it - am still weak, but did manage to get to the grocery and am thankful the laundry pretty much does it self.
I haven't even written my Daily Pages focused on the craft of writing since the 31st. Sigh...
So I guess today's blog could be about how one's greatest intentions can get seriously derailed by life in general, and sometimes one has to ride the wave of that derailment to the best of one's ability while determining the best way to change course to get back to what is important in life.
Wow, that's a bit deep, even for me.
I'll end this week's entry on a lighter note, then.
We have a black and white tomcat named Oliver in our neighborhood who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips - our cats are afraid of him, even in our own backyard. So, when he comes in the yard, they dive for the cat door like the scaredy cats they are, and one of us humans has to go and chase him over the fence.
Well, twice this week I discovered we have an ally in this endeavor - a mockingbird who has apparently set up nest somewhere nearby. I wished I'd had my camera at the ready (tells you how sick I've been - I love taking pictures of things like this!)!
Oliver is scurrying along the top of the fence, looking for a safe place to jump down in the next door neighbor's yard as this screeching mockingbird is dive bombing him and all he can do is hiss and keep moving!
Too funny!
