Can I be honest? Pls. don't read this post!

I have a couple of half-written posts which I just don't feel like completing.
As for writing something completely new, original or even close to phenomenal, I plead the Writer's Block.
Of course there is this tag doing the rounds, see here and here and here 
But the effort to tackle that seems superhuman
And for today I confess to be a very lazy person
I am trying hard to plead no-play with  some reasonable explanation
But everything sounds so lame and unconvincing, to my own pierced ears
Am I already failing in this Blog Marathon game?
I am not conceding defeat or wanting to withdraw,
Why, we have only another 12 (looong) days to soldier on
This active mind which pursues a blog post in almost everything otherwise
For this moment seems remarkably zen-blank in face of the notebook.
Children's pranks, kitchen experiments, people foibles, advances in science and technology,
pursuit of dharma, movies and books, the forgotten past, war heroes, or the truant weather
Amidst all the trials and tribulations of daily living, I can still not pick up a topic and conjure
A post for this Saturday with a beginning, middle and an ending short
Hopefully tomorrow is another day.........
I hope dear readers that till this garbled rambling right upto the end you have read not
For Shakespeare, O Nash or Shelley I am certainly not.



P.S. - Have updated the Protein Packed Power Balls post with the recipe, in case it interests you.

    Blessings....
    You need not worry about writing long posts, an entry can be as simple as, "today is a day of NOs, no i don't want to write, no I don't want to get out of bed, no I don't want to cook and know I didn't want to write this post but i did anyway, much like life at times you do what you must even when you are feeling the opposite."

    It can be long or it can be short and sweet.

    Stay blessed.
    peace.

    Hey this is post enough!
    it's perfectly normal and OK to draw a blank

    'coz, tomorrow shall be a new day
    to rise to the challenge befittingly!

    LOL
    This happens to the best of us. This is exactly why I stopped taking up reading challenges. I felt it takes away from the joy of reading just for the sake of it.

    Anyways, I think you have been doing great on the marathon front so far. Honestly. You have been regular, and your posts have been interesting and with substance. :)

    All the very best!

      Thanks TGND, your feedback is so reassuring:) I agree, daily marathons somehow take away the fun of posting because of some kind of deadline factor to it. I don't think I can do reading challenges for the same reason.

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
