Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to appreciate a little break in the fog that is life while it lasts!

Getting Back Ahead

After trials and tribulations.. my writing has been getting back on track!

When you are trying to do something, sometimes life just throws all kinds of shit at you. Literally and figuratively.. well I'm no exception!

I've been trying to get back into my writing and posting groove for a few weeks now since we came back from our sort-of vacation and it's been a challenge. There have been a number of things that have popped up like sickness for me, my son and a bunch of other random and difficult things in between. This has made getting the time to write and being in the correct mental state a little bit of a challenge in many regards. Thankfully though.. right now there seems to be a little bit of a reprieve to that!

I've got a long list of things that I need to write about from my recent purchase and daily utilization of blue-blocking glasses to some of the technologies we've been researching and acquiring. There are plenty of things in the hopper so-to-speak but frequently there presents a challenge in getting those things done. With some recent sickness coming through again but us getting a different strategy to deal with it, there is hopefully a light at the end of that tunnel.

I think this has challenged me but also really shown me that the environment and mindset for me are really important for my writing. Not that my writing is anything like Emerson, but it's my own unique little style and fun, tickled with some of the pictures I've taken over the years.

I know there are some people who thrive on negativity and a fucked-up feeling to write some heavy shit, but that's just not me. I really like being in a good space mentally, emotionally and physically in which to write.

The funny thing about that is I was, big shocker, listening to a podcast the other day and they were talking about Nietzsche or however you spell the dudes name, but they were talking about how powerful and important his writing was, except that it was only in his healthy days that this occurred. Apparently he had a number of health challenges and this really messed up his writing. He went to a retreat or something and finally got well, and then churned out a shit-ton of content that was some of his best yet but then subsequently fell ill again, and then ultimately died some time later.

I know that my experiences won't be compared to his, but the takeaway for me on that is that sure there are crazy ass people like Poe who thrive off depression and shit in order to write but for me, I thrive off and enjoy the good vibes and moments. They aren't always there that's for sure, but it's important to take advantage of them when they are there so that we can take the fruits of our labor and carry them forward.

With me and posting, getting the things written and content I have planned taken care of, I'm able to take those unplanned days off and do other things that I need to do, so that I've got a little insulation like a bear hibernating for the winter, and take that with me each week until it runs out.

What about you, do you like to try and be prepared in life for random things like life happenings messing up your hobbies? Let me know in the comments!
