I cannot remember a time when I’ve had less to say and almost no creative spark whatsoever. I think about this old blog every day and want to write something but there’s nothing to say. Granted, part of the problem is that writing the kind of posts that I used to (and still want to) is quite time consuming (believe it or not), and I just don’t have that luxury any more. If I have time during the day when I’m not taking care of Alex I have to work on the projects that I have with my few remaining clients.

I realize my blog is certainly not the most important thing in the world but for awhile there I was really enjoying the creative process of writing. I’d love to come up with some smaller way of adding a post here and there that I could still find satisfying, I’m working on it.

But, in the meantime, I’ve been handed a nice & easy post that I can surely complete in one sitting by the cheese queen over at Oui Ma Fifi!
Here’s how it works:
1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the first five sentences.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I’m going to have to try very hard to refrain from going into an overly lengthy explanation of why I’m reading what I’m reading because it will be 3:00 a.m. before I know it and then tomorrow will be pure hell. I’d love to go on about how I’ve been lost and churned up like a snow globe for months. I really want to write pages about how I desperately needed some clarity and some help, but I won’t. I’ll just tell you that my nearest book is A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

“Cooperation is alien to the ego, except when there is a secondary motive. The ego doesn’t know that the more you include others, the more smoothly things flow and the more easily things come to you. When you give little or no help to others or put obstacles in their path, the universe—in the form of people and circumstances—gives little or no help to you because you have cut yourself off from the whole.”

Since I’m finally posting something I should make the most of it and throw a little music in too. So here’s some Fausto Pappetti for your listening pleasure:
