Kicking the Tires of Tuesday, December 18

Focus the Day

I have been so busy setting up the Christmas village and wiring the yard decorations, that writing my daily story was kicked to the wayside. This was a very bad idea indeed because setting up my day with an addition to “my story” set a daily focus. It is like setting the seed around which the daily pearl is formed. It is like establishing the shape of a crystal.

Instead of crying over spilt milk, I will spin a learning experience. Since I am living the third stage of my life, it is wasting precious time when I don’t deliberately flow my energies into pleasurable efforts. The good news, is that the Christmas village is a creation that not only provides me with a great deal of pleasure, it is providing a great deal of pleasure for others as well.

KICKING THE TIRES OF FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9

Music is the best assist for boasting the morning. Plug in the headphones with the right music and the day brightens. My taste tends towards the bombastic. The minor key is a turn-on. Soundtracks work the best for me when it comes to sustained writing. Murray Gold did some brilliant stuff for Doctor Who; I listen to that a lot.
