Topic: Writing (01/11/07)
Wow, I can’t believe that we are now into the middle of January – my doesn’t time fly when you are having fun, or in this case busy, busy, busy! I seem to have lost track of time totally as of late, so hence, a lot of catching up to do here. With the rush of the days passing by, I seem to find it difficult putting pen to paper which is unusual for me to say the least. My brain is still working on overboard though with tons of ideas which keep flooding my poor head. Instead of writing these thoughts down on paper, which is what I should be doing, I carry on with the daily tasks in hand. It would be much better if I carried a small pocket notebook and pen around with me all day long – as then I would have no excuse whatsoever, would I!

Years ago, when I was travelling by coach up to London from home for work – I would always carry a notepad with me no matter what. This time of the morning used to be my favourite time of day when my “creative juices” would flow very easily. In the stillness of the early mornings (and we are talking 5 – 6am here), this would be my time, where I found it so easy to put pen to paper. There would be very little traffic on the roads until we hit the M3, then that was a different matter, fellow coach travellers would still be tired and therefore be asleep within half an hour of the coach’s journey and therefore, I could just sit back, relax and write – pure bliss.

As the years have gone by I have found that evenings are now my best time to sit, relax and yes, you have guessed it, write. I can be sitting reading a book or just relaxing with some music in the background when tons of ideas come to mind. I can even go to bed in the evenings and my head is sometimes still buzzing and/or some lyrics etc come into my head which I just have to jot down, but, more often than not this means getting up to go and get something to write on but, I have to say, I can’t always be bothered. Again, it would really help if I kept a pad and something to write with by my bed as I am sure you would agree!

I have always enjoyed being able to write. This is something that is so therapeutic, satisfying and at the end of the day rewarding. Having the ability to just go with the flow of something the Lord has given me and/or ideas, thoughts –whatever; I really enjoy having the ability to do this. My father used to write songs, poems and limericks all the time and he had an amazing gift. His writings, used to be quite funny at times especially the limericks, oh, these were a hoot.

Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I was constantly being encouraged to write in one form or another which was on the whole great. Like most children though, there were times when I much preferred doing something else, especially during the summer months where I would prefer to be outside with friends, like most children I guess!

I love this way of being able to express myself and I hope I don’t sound conceited here by the way, as this is the last thing I intend. This is one of the best ways in which I feel able to express myself and communicate what I am trying to say or get across, much more so than by any other means!
