As a writer, I enjoy telling stories about people and places. Add to that, pictures and videos and I have a creative effort that makes an adventurous day. Today is not one of those days. The words will not gel. The visual is cloudy. Nothing jumps out at me. I ask myself why.

The answer? I am trying to do too many things at once, worrying about the future or dwelling in the past. My mind tells me to focus on the task at hand, but I’m looking at several long-term projects that demand my attention. Now I feel guilt rising full of shoulds, coulds and aughts. My mind is spinning out of control.

It is time to take a break, go for a walk, put my projects away, cook dinner and start fresh tomorrow. But first, I need to post. 🙂
