I am sitting here, staring at the blog post template. I have a blank mind. The hum of the computer, that I typically don’t hear is distracting. The candle that is burning smells like chocolate chip cookies, and it’s distracting me. It’s quiet.
Every time I try and think of a topic, I begin to fill my mind with other thoughts about…
How I hate the blinking cursor on a blank template.
How many things are on my never ending to-do list.
How I have to finish painting in this room.
How my husband went to bed early because he’s sick and I hope he’s asleep. AndI hope I don’t catch it.
How my dogs won’t just settle down tonight, probably because I didn’t have time to walk them today.
How none of the writing prompts I can find are jumping out at me.
How I started to write a post about a scary dream that I used to have as a child and deleted it, because I was bored even while I was writing it.
How grateful I am that my Mom had her yearly appointment with the transplant center today, and her Super kidney is still keeping her NORMAL.
How I need to call my Uncle again and see how he is.
How quickly the refreshment from a four day weekend can leave you on a Monday morning.
How long tomorrow is going to feel.
How I should schedule Wednesday’s post too because tomorrow is going to be so long.
How am I going to fill another blank template?
I felt the EXACT SAME way this morning. But look, we both filled another template. And I know we can do it again tomorrow too 🙂 Hang in there!
I hate going through those phases where your mind is out of ideas.
Sometimes you just have to take it one word at a time and see where those words take you!
"How quickly the refreshment from a four day weekend can leave you on a Monday morning."
Oh, yes. Dammit.
I love this! It's remniscent of stream of consciousness. Even your blankness is beautifully written.
You did it. 🙂
