However, as per the theme of this post, there is no time like the present.  I’m currently sitting at our kitchen table, breathing in the air of the open window, and eating my breakfast. It’s a slow Sunday, one where I choose to rest and move slowly instead of driving into Lexington to go to church or running errands before my afternoon shift.

When the weather is like this – when everything has a hazy look about it – that’s when I begin to feel like writing. I haven’t written in several months, even outside of this blog. I’ve abandoned both the pen and my laptop’s keyboard.  I’ve been trying to figure out just what has separated me from writing.

It had to be a picture of people we’ve never met, a place we’ve never been.
