I’m Not in the Write Mood

This is kind of getting redundant.

 I feel like I’ve missed out on posts more than I’ve made them lately.

Hey, but I never promised substantive posts every time so, hey – you get what you get. Nah, just kidding.

Truth is, I just haven’t been in the mood to write lately. And it’s not like I have writer’s block. It’s not even that I don’t have anything to say. I have tons to write about, tons to say. I just don’t feel like sitting down to write it, sculpting sentences, editing pages.

But don’t worry, you’re not the only ones I’ve been neglecting. I was supposed to do my laundry ever since Monday. I kept pushing it off, and now I have to go tomorrow, because I have no clean clothes. I have no towels. Now you would think that would be a pretty motivating factor to get my laundry done. But I have been known to just wash out an outfit in the bathroom sink and let it hang dry in the tub, or put it in front of the fan. 

Perhaps you think I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to do laundry, but I’m not. I actually really like doing laundry. It’s the getting to the laundry mat a.k.a. washateria, that’s the hard part. I have to lug my clothes down the stairs into the car, and the back up again. I think if I had in-home laundry machines this would not be a problem.

I also should have gone to the post office today and I didn’t. I still haven’t made over that filing cabinet I bought about a month ago. 

In the meantime, I’ve been having a lot of ideas. They race in my mind like lightening bugs let out of a jar. I don’t know if that’s a good metaphor, but right now I’m picturing lightening bugs being let out of a jar.

I think that’s a pretty good image to go to bed to, don’t you?

Good Night…or good whatever time of the day it is for you.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. — Psalm 46:4

Lord, let me be that river.
