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've been known to say, "It's exactly the same, only different." Today it's stated about the day, as compared to yesterday. Yesterday was warm, in the lower fifties, calm breeze, and sunny. Today it was almost as warm, in the upper forties, but windy, gusting to almost fifty miles per hour. It was also overcast today, with a feeling and a smell of bad weather coming. Yes, I can sometimes feel a storm brewing, and sometimes I can smell it on the wind.

I slept in this morning; I've been really tired lately. I think a lot of my tiredness is from all the fresh air and exercise this past week. It was the same again today, only different. Instead of going to the park, we just drove a few miles and snowshoed down a closed-for-the-winter road. It's heavily shaded, so there was still snow to snowshoe in. There's a small campground at the end of this road, so it does get plowed out, but not regularly and not right down to the gravel. We just got our snowshoes, and already we are lacking snow. For a while, it was looking like we may end up doing as much mudshoing as snowshoing, but today was the last day we will be above thawing for a while adnd the forecast is for three to six inches of new snow.

After a mile trek through the woods, we took the scenic, long way home. Then it was dinner (we call it supper, but not sure where that term came from. Both my family and my wife's family refer to the last meal of the day as supper; dinner is reserved for fancy meals with friends and family.) I baked up a couple of yams and a couple of the pork chops I smoked the other day.

Now, it's time to sit back and relax with a little brandy, some CSI Los Vegas, and then bed.
