It's been months since I've written anything, and even now, I'm struggling to find that "creative" thought which will launch a witty, yet meaningful story to share.
Perhaps, somewhere deep in the crevices of my mind there's a spark, but for now it seems to be eluding me. I suppose it's just the end of the year doldrums, as I look back and see how little I accomplished in 2012, and how much lies ahead in 2013.
I suppose, however, some of my malaise could be due to the fact that it's the Sunday before Christmas and I've yet to finish my Christmas shopping. Oh, don't be alarmed, for it's the norm for me.
As Miss Elizabeth says, "You always wait until the last minute just in case something happens to me and you'll get off the hook altogether." She has such a way with words!
I, on the other hand, attribute my tardiness to the "thoughtful" approach I use to weigh the importance of each and every gift. A man can't just rush out and buy whatever happens to be on the shelf, can he? It takes weeks, and sometimes months, to find the gift that will have the desired effect.
And that, my friends, is why I'm still pondering......
After all, it's only Sunday, and Christmas is still two days away.....plenty of time for someone who has already put so much thought into the process.....
I'm quite sure that I'll find the perfect gift. I'll know it when I see it......
But, as all of you know by now.....What do I really know anyway?
