A Morning Exercise in Writer's Block

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and I have a little time to write. So I sit at my laptop, listening to music I just posted on my blog, and staring at the blank screen in front of me. What could I write that readers would be interested in? I look out my kitchen window at "the hook". The Hook is a strip of beach at the south end of Assateague Island that is directly across the channel from me. The sun is shimmering on the water. I am blessed by the sight.

I could write about how extremely blessed I am. I have not yet reached a tragic end and my life as it is has not been too hard. Life, however, seems bit busy. Some of the things I've got going on are: an upcoming art show and book signing for my "A Tic In The Mind's Eye"^TM comics, publishing another book, an album project, a music performance for the Island's Earth Day 2008 celebration, and construction of a website for Island visitors and businesses. These along with trying to write to earn money on-line and most of all being a husband and parent of 7 kids. It is difficult at times for me to know what to let go of and move on and when. At least I'm not God. I know that sometimes multi-tasking is a god-like feat. Just ask the Goddess- my wife!

The folks are now stirring and immediately I hear the sound of "Jimmy Neutron" coming from the T.V. room. The sounds of little voices brings me joy. I know another busy day has begun for me. A day that I'm sure will be a blend of blessing and aggravation. That is the rub about life. Like the sea outside my window there is an ebb and flow to it. The trick is to find the flow so you do not tire from fighting. I hope, today, to stay aware of, and receive the blessing.

God help me my unawareness.
