It goes something like this: every morning I tell myself that it’s a new day, new beginning, new opportunity to finish the story I started a while ago, new…..you name it. Then suddenly I remember I have to do a dozen little things, like laundry, cleaning the house, giving the dogs a bath or even trying out a new recipe, yeah, you name it. My laptop sits on the desk all by his lonely self and if it could speak or at least give me a look, I bet it wouldn’t be a nice one.
Maybe I’m too relaxed and my mind cannot take that much silence and sitting around the house. I can blame the Songkran for that. I just hope it’s going to be over by tomorrow, when I may be brave enough to venture outside and into the wide world (or maybe just to the supermarket) without being drenched in water as it is the custom here during the Thai New Year celebrations, or Songkran by the local name.
Back to my story, or should I go have a snack, read a book or watch a movie ….you name it. Ah, here we go again!
Each day for us is a series of compromises.
Our lives are full of mandatory requirements, we then have precious little time for those things we do for the sheer enjoyment. I feel those pursuits will find you, and you will find that you will not have a choice in the matter. There is a story, waiting to be told, just be sure you are near that once lonely laptop, when it begins its telling.
