Sunday Morning
Miscellany and brain dumps: I haven't been blogging lately because a) I'm still tied up with the reunion, b) I'm trying to make sense of my singleness, c) live person relationships are more valuable than Internet ones, d) the sun will explode in 2,000,000,000,000 years, e) I'm tired. Pick one.
You would think that without a lot of work that I'd have time to think. But lately, its been hard to come up with the words that will challenge the reader. Same reason my book is on hold at the sixth chapter, I can't concentrate on the time and place to make the characters come alive. I hope this is a season, and a short one. I really do love to write to entertain and inform, and hear from those who enjoy it. There are a lot of issues piling up in my bookmarks that would make interesting fodder for a post, but I am not challenged by most right now. And the way to write is to be challenged by what you are writing about.
In my blogwalk this morning, I am encouraged by Michelle, Mark, Sue, Marc (who offers a rare glimpse of a blogger in its habitat,) Dawn (always a good read) and Diane. All have something to say, even if it is important to themselves only. It is the spirit of expression that I admire, in many different ways.
Windows XP has a neat download that as far as I know is available only for Windows XP. The Winter Fun Pack (I know, a lame name) has two interesting items in it: a wallpaper changer and a customizable screen saver. The wallpaper changer is notable as you can set a different wallpaper for every day of the year, or only on special days. I put all my spring wallpaper files in one directory; changing the background every hour. This morning, I was greeted by a wonderful picture of a lavender field in Provence.
À bientôt!
