When I started this blog, I had so many ideas that I wanted to share, but when I finally got to sit down at my computer to compose, “BLANK” — bloggers block. Where did all those great ideas go, I think to myself at 6 a.m. in the morning trying to jot a few lines down before work. The afternoon isn’t any better — homework, dinner, and pure exhaustion gets in the way. I even struggle to clean out my in-boxes to maintain my “zero” in-box status.
It’s 9:00 p.m. and I’m already in bed. Wait …. Keiko’s email catches my eye, and I open it. Keiko sends me great stuff — I always file her emails in a folder to pass onto others. This time Keiko sends me a link to a story about a cat named Oscar.
I am sitting up in bed with my laptop propped up on several pillows to meet my gaze. As I read the attachment, little does Oscar know that his life story carries me back in time reminding me of the day I began Living Life on Purpose. My bloggers block lifts – I am excited about the ideas coming to mind. I have something valuable to share with my readers. But for now, my own cat, Otis, has curled up at the foot of my bed and covers his eyes with his paw to let me know my reading light is bothering him.
More tomorrow ~ good night.
Seems that Otis knows best…
