Stuck Schmuck

A friend in New York has not posted anything on his blog since October! He says that he is 'stuck.'

What exactly does that mean?

To my embarrassment I think I know. What my friend means is that nothing he is doing seems worthy of the written word. His daily thoughts and activities do not seem unusual or exciting enough to take up the precious time and energy of his readers.

Stuck schmuck!

Yet, why does his 'stuckness' embarrass me?

Because I wonder, if fleetingly, if I should be more purposeful about what I write, perhaps wait for that moment when something truly amazing or outstanding happens to put fingers to keyboard.

Nah! I told you up front this was random. And so it is. And that's what I think about it.

I love random thoughts! Just today I was following a logging truck and felt kind of sad. I thought of those once tall majestic trees now cut down. I wandered if anyone else finds that sad or if it is just me. As you can see I love random thoughts! Keep them coming.
