Ever had a day you just couldn’t
get the words to sound right on paper? My ideas are in my head but for some
reason the words just don’t put my ideas in a good light. Those are the
days I decide to take a break, grab a coffee from Starbucks and people watch.
Obviously, I always have a notebook
handy where I jot down thoughts, yes, but truthfully, I am jotting down
descriptions of people I see. What kind of mannerisms they have. Guessing
about the look on their faces and the people sitting at their table. No, I do
not eavesdrop on their conversation. I am too busy with writing down what I
see, not what I hear.
When I get back to my computer, my
mind seems to be full of words that just have to get to paper. Now the words
look right. Oh, these words are not from the descriptions I wrote from watching
the people—they are the words that I was trying to put to
paper earlier.
Life is like that; we are going
along and all of a sudden things just aren’t right. But when we break, relax
and give ourselves a chance to take in the things around us it helps clear out
cobwebs we forgot to sweep out the day before. Then you begin to feel
everything is right again.
