Step One - Writer's Bloc

 I'm just writing to surrender.

I'm running into a little writer's block and struggling with the fact that it's a little quiet this afternoon here at work. I have research and some writing to do and I seem to be bouncing around a bit. But it's okay.

I try to keep focused and put 'one foot in front of the other' no matter much I may be struggling with concentration. I know that my "best isn't the same all the time."

But it's a great day; coffee with a friend in the program this morning, busy catching up at work after a nice weekend up north - Mancation fishing trip with my friend Ken.  I received an amazing call from one of my friends in the program and made the noon meeting at Kozy's and took the step - eight; then a can of soup and back to the research. I heard from an old colleague via linked in today, too. It was nice.

What sticks in my mind is the wonder of everything that is going on around me and in my life and the gratitude I have for everything I'll be doing the rest of the day: more writing, an errand for Kathryn at her old house for a second as she is getting it ready to sell; head down to Sherman's to play guitar for a while; then back home to spend some time with Kath.

Although I'm stuck on "what's next" in the writing I'm doing for work - I know one thing; it'll come.

I'm powerless over everything except my effort and attitude.

Back at it!
