Nothing New

FD Thornton

It has been a hot minute since I wrote anything. Let’s just say my minds been occupied with other things lately. Hopefully Fall has decided to show up after a dry and brutal September, and I’m more than ready for a little cool weather. But outside it is a bit dryer after a couple of days of rain clouds and more rain. My mind has been all over the place thinking about stuff and the direction I want to go in. You see for a long time I’ve been tending to my health, so much so that I’ve basically forgotten how to live.

But with the changing of the seasons, I noticed I haven’t gotten a doctor’s appointment scheduled till next February…seriously. And as for my wife, she’s only gotten one lab appointment later this month. So what to do with all this newfound freedom. For one thing I’m redoubling my efforts to create longer works of writing maybe even a new book. Only this time I want it to be all original previously unpublished work. It been quite a learning experience expanding my writing from 300 words or less to 5000 word chapters, but I’m getting there.

Anywho, I just wanted to catch you up on what’s been going on this week. So I guess the main thing I am wanting to say is, take a moment and crawl out if your safe space. I know that’s now the “it thing” to do. Not face your fears or make yourself uncomfortable. But as so many of my affirmation quoting friends will tell you. Sometimes it’s good to be uncomfortable. Because being too comfortable can often send you into a stagnate space where nothing new ever happens.
