The post that never was
I thought yesterday went a little too smoothly. I forgot to post a blog entry. Blogging is a habit, so I'm not sure what happened. I had a professional dental cleaning this week and then had to get back on a fierce track for flossing regularly. Perhaps my mind was so focused on that habit that another habit got pushed to the back burner. And this makes me wonder how much room we have in our busy minds for all these good habits we are trying to cultivate. The other mystery is that I didn't see the reminder to post a blog entry on my trusty to-do list. I was with other people a great deal of the day, so maybe my social skills overrode my solitary skills. Fortunately, the complete rationalization of that process has resulted in this blog post for a Friday. They say that art is anything you can get away with. Allow me to paraphrase. Writing is anything you can let your mind convince you to get away with.
