It's depressing...only 2 months into blogging and I hit a wall. I want to write. My fingers are crying for the keyboard. They long to move smoothly over the keys to form words that not only make sense but in some small way make a difference...but the brain is stuck. Mud...maybe its Spring up there in the 'ole attic. Need to pull the old frontal lobe out of the mire. Then on the other hand...it probably doesn't matter much one way or the other if I write or not. Other than the fact it BUGS me. Here I got all inspired to create...and then nothing. Oh sure I have some ideas. But for some unknown reason they all 'sound' silly, or stupid, or boring, or lame when I debate them in my head. Perhaps they are...but does that really matter???
So I think I'll make a list. A list of ideas. Some good some just so-so. But for when I do feel inspired once more I'll be able to remember those tidbits I wanted to pontificate about.

- Ethanisms...he's a master and has quite a list of great fodder for a 3 ye
ar old...problem? I can't seem to remember any when I sit down to write. - Living life to the fullest...here's a preview of the picture I want to use. I just need to flesh out my ideas a bit.
- My Dad...My Hero There is a lot to say there but it is his birthday l
ater this week so I think I'll save it for later.
- Grocery Store Baggers
- The Dr.s Office
- Venice Idaly (yeah I know its spelled wrong)
- Second Grade
- Leadership...being thrust or gently nudged upon you.
- Blessings
- Listening to the still small voice.
OK well that should give me a leg up next time my brain comes in contact with that big ugly brick behemoth of a wall. Wish me luck! And...where do you get your ideas???

Here's an Ethanism: "Chips!" :) Probably not nearly as good as his normally are.
I can't even tell you how many posts I've got started but have never been posted. It's great that they can sit and wait, maybe take a little editing here and there. I have one I've almost posted at least three times now but I guess it's just not done. Plenty others that are just random thoughts I started, saved for another day.
Sometimes I just get something inside me that I can't let go of until it's a full-fledged post.
I've listened to a few good talks on creativity. I'll have to track them down.
No ideas? Hogwash. You just generated a whole stinkin' list of them, dear. You've got me all curious now so your gray matter better start cooperating!
About remembering the Ethanisms-- keep a pen tucked behind one ear and just write them on your forearm. That will work (okay, it's a dumb idea).
I can't wait to read what finally comes out after you get past the wall.
