An uphill battle
Do you ever feel like that's what you're in? Some days...
You know, when you can't seem to find 12 minutes to sit down and do one little thing you really want to do, like write a quick post for your lonely little blog? Well, apparently not everyone would be interested in doing that with their 12 minutes, and it's definitely not the top priority for me if I get an extra 12 minutes. But, if I had an extra-extra 12 minutes, that's what I would want to do. Sit down and blog a little. Do I have an extra-extra 12 minutes you might ask? No, I don't, but I took them anyway. I know that if writing is important to me it's not something that's just going to land in my lap. I have to work at it. I plan to work at it. There are just a few other things that take precedence at the moment. One being taking my now-closer-to-17-than-16 year old daughter to the paddles boats. Listen, I have a sweet kid who really likes spending time with me. Who am I to turn away from that? And some days my nature, the one that wants to do what I want to do, tries to take over and keep me from saying "yes" to better things. Not today. We are off to the city park for our annual paddle boat adventure.
The good thing about uphill battles? Once you hit the top you get to enjoy the ride down the other side.
