‘I peak early in the morning. it’s downhill from there.’ not my own quote but something Bono said in 2004
I was up as usual at the crack of dawn, well actually it was a crack well before before dawn. I live in Tampa Bay on the breathtaking coastline that is the Gulf of Mexico so I clutch on to dawn for as long as possible. It’s those times when the sun is gloriously rising and that time at the end of the day when it is reluctant to fade that are positively magical…. and the time writing becomes more than a hobby, it’s a passion, something you HAVE to do. It’s true what they say, the best things in life are free. What price could you put on a sunrise or a sunset when no two are alike?
I wake up excited with this bizarre need to share things, maybe it’s the escape of living on your own and sharing a coffee with a complete stranger that makes blogging so wonderful. It’s never feels like it’s an obligation and it’s obviously a great way for those that don’t know you to find out a little more…..oh and a must when you want to talk to people as well as write……me! I’m still really excited about going around and storytelling, what a great way to remember some amazing times and to share them with others…and with some who weren’t even born then. Scary.
The colors cascade in to morn and it all becomes a frantic stab at the keybpad to write as much as is going on in my head, made a thousand times harder by a laptop that just decides to stop when it’s had enough……..technology telling you to slow down. It’s so abrupt, it’ll just tap out the letters I typed when it feels like it!…by which time you’ve had pause, and not for thought. It could lead to another tirade of expletives about the death of my laptop but I’ll refrain…… it was behaving badly before but it’s sod’s law that I should inherit it’s brother, albeit temporarily.
How the little things excite you the most, I can’t wait to get a new one and maybe come up with my best work yet, or knowing me drop it in a puddle and end of back at square one! Back to my train of thought with what next to blog….which never ends where it begins.
