Late start

It’s a music day. My better half is out so there is no need for headphones. Just speakers belting out the tunes for me to feel. And I do feel music. The lyrics, the beat hit my soul. Even in the toughest times it can put a smile on my face.

So, my shoulders are bouncing and the swivel in the chair is getting some action, and I can still type fairly accurately. It won’t be long though till I have to get up and move with some energy.

A day of errands and chores ahead, but some fun will be had for sure. The streets are dry, so I think I’ll exercise the Miata for a few minutes. It’s so strange driving that car with the top up. I rarely take it out in the cold, but I miss driving it, so I do when the roads aren’t bad.

Now tomorrow is another story with the temp maybe hitting 55. That’s the magic number for folding that top back. Now the side windows will be up most of the way and maybe the seat warmer on, but with the sun it will be nice.

History

This day January 6th is a disgusting day in this country’s history. And what has been done since regarding that day’s activities is an injustice of justice. A warning and message we didn’t take and was changed into a different narrative to suit his followers. A hateful day that everyone condemned and then many changed their tune.

Why so many continue to bow to this false narrative and continuation of other lies is one of the many that continue to puzzle me.

Creativity Ebbs and Flows

Some days the words flow like a lazy stream. Relaxed, rolling and free. Effortless positive thoughts flow along with the images.

Other days words are dammed up. The mind in turmoil, the body tense, painful and rigid. I get more of these days. I work hard in overcoming them and not making them apparent. So far, I’m pretty good at disguising them. A word actor. An actor in life.

Some days I’m reluctant to pick up a brush or a camera. Others I can’t get enough of them.

Today feels like a good creative day.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • My sleep is getting more and more inconsistent. Guess it’s having a flashback.
  • There is a dance inside of me dying to get out today.
  • The live version of Simple Man from 1975 might be my favorite song of all time.
  • I believe in the Manual Gearbox Preservation Society.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
