A few minutes

"Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities."

Orison Swett Marden

I had a few minutes extra this morning before I had to leave the house for my morning bus run.

I chose to use that time to start my daily email.

The first step in the "process" is to archive the entry by naming it. In the program I use, I can not proceed to step 2 without assigning this reference in step one. I dashed in "A few minutes" because that is exactly what I had.

I listened to and added my Darren Daily to my daily format.

I did the same with my Minute with Maxwell.

I added my motivational image of the day and my quote of the day as well.

At this point, it was time for me to head out for the day.

Now,some 4 hours later, I have a few more minutes to finish up.

It has become increasingly more challenging to find the time to write.

I no longer have that quiet time each morning that I once had.

What's the line from the Joni Mitchell song "Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til its gone".

That's how I feel about the precious gift that I once had,the time to write .

Oh sure , I can probably find some time.

I could get up an hour earlier or carve out an hour after dinner or before bedtime.

The challenge is being in a clear, quiet state of mind.

By the end of each day, that is not always easy.

At the very start of the day, I have yet to shake the cobwebs of sleep out of my head.

My writing has always been born from my thoughts in the moment. Never premeditated. Rarely thought through. Very stream of consciousness.

Not unlike what just happened for me today!

Have a great day!
