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.

Again, I find it's getting late, and I still have nothing to write about. What about my day? It's about the same as yesterday; nothing much has changed. This time of year, things tend to stay the same, day after day.

I woke up about eight this morning, but stayed in bed hoping to catch a few more minutes of sleep. When that didn't work out, I got up and started coffee. While I waited for the coffee, I scrambled a couple of eggs for my breakfast.

After breakfast and a cup of coffee, I logged in here, but moments later, Bellah came out of the bedroom and wanted me to play with her. Shortly after that, Max came out and wanted his back scratched and some loving. Shortly after that, my wife came out; it's usually the same routine.

We did a Bible study while we had coffee, then she got in the shower, and I made her lunch. After, we discussed some ideas for this weekend, she has Friday through Sunday off. Friday is the last day and night of the frigid cold, then it's supposed to get warmer less cold. In a week, the forecast is for temperatures to climb above freezing, but we know that can change; we'll hope anyway.

I drove her to work again because of the forecasted cold tonight, but so far it's still above zero. Once again, I can say to the National Weather Service, "Lier lier pants on fire." At least this time it was a nicer lie.

In about forty-five minutes, I'll load the dogs into the Yukon, and we'll go pick her up. Once back home, we'll relax and talk about her day; mine is the same as yesterday, and if you'd been paying attention, you'd know that already. Just kidding.

I did go out and shovel the sidewalks this afternoon. It was pretty cold, and the wind intensified it, but I'm tired of being inside, and the sunshine beckoned to me to come out for a spell. But after half an hour of shoveling, I was cold and ready to come in. Max and Bellah were also ready.

I wish I could have recorded Max assisting me with shoveling; he's always there to help. He grabs the shovel with his mouth and helps pull it along. Of course, he pulls it sideways and dumps most of the snow off, but he thinks he's helping. I really do need to learn how to teach him to pull a sled or wagon. I'm sure he'll learn quickly; I'm the one who will have difficulties learning.

Oh, and I still need to get back to work on my office and stop procrastinating. See, it's not that I don't have plenty to do, even through the coldest days of winter, I just don't have the motivation to do them. That's what the winter blues do: they rob a person of motivation. I may have to look and see if I can order some through Amazon. Not today, though, maybe tomorrow or the day after.
