Usually, by the time I get to my keyboard the moment is gone, the sentence is lost among the jumble of half remembered dreams, and I'm simply uninspired. I wonder if I can muster the self discipline to write something every day during Lent? Self discipline has never been one of my strong points, and I'd like to change that. I sort of feel like I'm too old for how reactionary I am sometimes. Though, it could be that to attempt to become more disciplined I'd lose something more.
I tell the kids that life is ultimately a balance, that thinking life's unfair on the whole isn't right. So, I find myself wondering, if life really is a balance, does that mean for every gain there is a loss? To move ahead we must make sacrifices along the way? Or, perhaps, we are meant to simply let go of the "trappings" of our socially acceptable material lives and embrace a life of simplicity and love.
Today I have more questions than answers. But I also have a smile I can't quite shake, and warmth in my heart I'm reveling in.
