What to Write…or Not Write

I feel like I’m leaving so many things unfinished tonight.

First, I wrote a pretty awesome piece about grace. ( Yeah, more grace.

:)) But it desperately needs to be toned down (aka: de-dramatized) before I push the publish button.

That’s for the good of everyone, and I’m more than willing to let the drama queen tendencies fizzle a bit before sharing my deep thoughts with the world. 😉

Yesterday I started strumming out my favorite song on my guitar.

Not as easy as it sounds because I have looked high and low for guitar chords online and

have come up empty handed.

(Unless I want to pay…which I don’t. ;)) I thought that might actually be a unique blog post, but I’ve spent hours on the chords and am only about half done.

Then I thought about making a bucket list…which has been in the back of my mind for quite some time.

The only thing is, once I publish it, I want it to be complete.

Not something I can write in ten minutes.

And I thought about writing about something cool I’m going to do in a couple weeks, but really, that’s something that would be better after the fact.

I’ll give you a teaser, though…it involves me, my guitar, a coffee shop, and a microphone.

Yeah, I really love a microphone. Oh, and some friends for moral support. (So if you live in the area, that’s you! :D)

So if ya can’t tell, my brain is kinda scattered tonight…very unable to settle on one topic and actually write with passion. I hate it when the passion is lacking, but hey, it can’t ooze 24/7 or I’d drive everyone around me crazy.

So instead of blabbing on and on about the things I could be writing about, I’m going to close my laptop, fill up my coffee mug, and chill for a bit tonight. Tomorrow’s a long day with Mae because Tob has to work all day and then he gets to go hear (former) President Bush speak at Judson.

I’m so incredibly jealous but happy for him, too.

Good night to you all!

  1. NO SIR!?!?!?!?!? You’re going to perform? Oh Mel, I’m so proud of ya! I just don’t think I can make it…..gas is nearly $4 a gallon and airfare, fugetaboutit!

    I can’t wait to hear all about it!!

    Leaving things unfinished is good! I wish I’d done that….more than once!!

    Ah yes….a bucket list! I want to make one too. One thing on my list would be to visit Manhattan. Have you ever seen the movie Big with Tom Hanks? He has a loft in the city and I’ve loved the idea since I first saw the movie….a few days ago! HA!

    My brother would be envious of Tobin! I saw him on Oprah when his book was released last year and I was surprised at his humor and grace.

    Anxiously anticipating your grace post. More, more and more! It’s okay. We all need it.

    Have a wonderful day!

    ((hugs))

    • In all the traveling I’ve done, I’ve never seen New York. (Well except when I was six months old…I’m not sure that counts.) :) That is definitely on my bucket list. Actually, singing at open mike at a coffee shop is, too. I better hurry up and make that list so I can cross it off! (((hugs)))

  2. So fun that you have the chance to play and sing at a coffee shop. Wish we were closer, I’d come support you! I love the new look of your blog, by the way. Maybe it’s been changed for a while, but we’ve been busy the past few weeks and I just got online to catch up on what you’ve been writing. I’m glad you are getting better!

    • Hey Rach! Thanks for stopping by again and for the note. Hope you are all doing well! I’ll have to hop over to your blog soon and figure out how to leave a comment. Mae sends a hug to Gabby. :)
