A ROSE 262-272 09-19-09

Have you ever noticed how there are just certain times when, for no really apparent reason, you simply just find yourself in a hole – a deep hole?  How did I get here?  Why did I not see this coming and do something to avoid it?  It has happened to all of us at one time or another.  What shall be our response?  Now that things have overtaken me, how will I ever catch up?  With this conundrum collection, it is inevitable that stress and anxiety swell within which then adds even more to the problem.  This is where I find myself today.  A quick perusal of my blog posting reveals that I am now twelve, yes, count them, twelve blogs behind.  What shall I do?  Where will I find twelve topics to develop, especially given the challenge from my brother to find something positive to write about – it really should not be such a difficult thing, given that I have two-hundred-sixty-one behind me already, should it?  But then, how shall I find the wherewithal to produce these missive miniatures in a timely manner without falling even further behind?  You write two and post them, but if it takes three days before you can get back again, you are one more behind and how do you diffuse that pressure?  It suddenly came to me as if in a dream (actually an outgrowth of a nightmare that transformed itself within my mind) – I will write a single blog that counts for ten – my title was simple – 262-272 – there you have it!!!  One page of questions that have permeated my overtaxed brain reducing the entire stress-producing chain of mindless babble into one, concise, easy-to-read-and-identify-with solution to any blogger’s needed weapons in the armory cache of writing.  A single catch-up blog that puts me right back on track without the anguish and rigors of actually writing ten individual blogs, I just compact the timeline into a ten-fold single blog, that simple.  When I first researched, last December, what a blog was, I found it was whatever the author said it was – the author is in control.  Some authors blog only once each week or each month as it may be.  I simply choose in one fell swoop of the laptop to make ten from one – my biggest challenge, what picture to use – I decided upon a single rose, so I can STOP and smell it!!  There!!  Now I am completely up to date!
