My thoughts released; a mind set free
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

Another uneventful day. Not that it's bad to have uneventful days, they're kind of nice, relaxing, and restful, but it doesn't provide anything to write about. That's my problem again tonight, I want to write, but I cannot think of anything to write about. The girls are still on Christmas break through the New Year, then it's back to distance learning through mid-month when the schools are supposed to reopen. My wife goes back to work tomorrow, but with New Years', it will be a short week and another long weekend for her. It would be nice to get out and do something with the long weekends, but as everyone knows, the pandemic makes that a little difficult.

I'm still waiting on some items for my new hobby, ice fishing. Some will arrive this week, the rest should get here the following week. I'm looking forward to spending some time alone out on the lake; alone with my thoughts. I got a Kindle reader for Christmas that I will be bringing along, and I already have quite a few books to read on it.

I love to read, but I don't get much of a chance anymore. It seems that as soon as I get lost in a book, the girls need my attention. Of course, this is the case no matter what I get lost in, except for work around the house, then they get lost into anything and everything until the work is done.

Tomorrow I want to start logging my food intake, I need to lose some weight and a good place to start is logging everything I eat. I know exercise would speed things up, too, but with my back bothering as much as it has lately, I'm kind of limited by how much I can do. That's another concern with ice fishing, I want to load up at the landing and pull my gear out on a sled, but not sure how my back will handle it. I have a harness ordered that will distribute the weight and the pulling so that I'm able to prevent any twisting and straining one side or the other, so I think it will go alright. I know I'll be a bit sore and stiff from taxing the muscles the first few times, but I have a good, supportive, folding chair that will provide comfort once I get set up.

It's kind of crazy, I know that if I drop even ten pounds, it will make a big difference for my back. I also know that working and increasing my core strength will improve my back even more. The biggest problem is getting that first ten pounds off and working the core muscles without getting myself laid up for a week or two. It's what so many refer to as a "catch twenty-two", however, I'm not really sure what that even means. In my own terms, I think of it as being all Twenty-twentied!

And with that, I bid you good night.
