The title says it all; I can't think of anything interesting to share this morning so I guess I will just chatter.
And now that I have said that, I can't even think of anything to chatter about!
This reminds me of when I was a columnist for an Ontario newspaper. I did a 500 word article each week and usually didn't have a problem coming up with a topic. Once in a while, however, the creative cupboard came up empty. When that happened, I would write about having nothing to write about. It is amazing how you can go on about nothing for 500 words-great training for my political stint.
I have often noticed other columnists do this and it always makes me smile. I am reminded of the quote (and at the moment I don't know who said it) 'he/she talked until they had something to say'.
Some writing instructors say that you should wait until inspiriation strikes before you sit at the keyboard. Personally, I have found that knowing I had a deadline or a bill to pay did more for my creativity than waiting for a sudden thunderbolt. Of course, most days I do have something that I hope will be interesting to share. How can I not when I have a wonderfully cute dog, live surrounded by nature and have an interesting hobby.
I could have told you this morning how Heidi always skids to a stop when returning something I have thrown for her or how the snow is falling so gently that you are hardly aware of it. I could also have mentioned the gifts I still have to make and the quilt that I am finishing but none of those topics seemed worthy of posting. So, I hope you will forgive me today for just writing about nothing. You can put it down to Christmas business although it is probably not the reason.
Have a great weekend. Try not to wear yourself out getting the last of your shopping finished.
Blessings,
