Coming To You From The Void
Coming to you from the void. Too melodramatic? Sorry, it’s the best I could come up with at short notice. I have already used my first choice title on my WA blog and even that was poor. “Limbo Land Is Covered In Snow” See what I mean, poor.
Anyways (I can put an ‘s’ there if I so choose) the world changed overnight and we awakened, at 5.30 am. to a blanket of
snow, which did make the dog walk very interesting, especially as two of our mutts are Huskies, it’s probably only the second time they’ve seen snow, so they were well up for it.
‘Limbo Land’ or the ‘void’ is my pet name for the period between Christmas and the New Year, it’s that time when nobody knows what to do with themselves, apart from the ones that are back at work, which is sad. I also have no real idea of what day it is, it’s all a bit surreal.
You know it’s happening because the fridge no longer has leftovers in and there are no more sweet wrappers strewn on the floor, or down the side of the settee cushions.
I was hoping that today I would be able to write reams and reams of stuff but as per usual ‘life’ has stepped in and decided to make alternate plans, to coin a well-used phrase, it is what it is.
So, did you get everything that you wanted? I didn’t really ask for anything in particular, I did mention a book and that appeared, which was nice. Let’s be honest, at some point you no longer need presents because if you need anything at any stage during the year, you just get it, as long as it’s not ridiculously expensive.
Normally we’ll say a couple of things that would be nice to have and then hope that the other person remembers what it was. At what age does it lose its magic, I wonder? As a child there used to be so much eager anticipation and even as a teenager there was still some mystery and excitement.
Never mind, it’s been a weird couple days and the washing machine has started playing up. Don’t sigh, this is an integral part of my life we’re talking about. The previous one lasted close to fifteen years, this one is less than a year old and it’s already showing signs of being a belligerent piece of white goods.
I’m not going to get into that now, I’ll sound like a grumpy old man, like Rick Wakeman or, who was the other one, Pete Waterman? Possibly, I never watched it. At the time I could think of nothing worse than sitting there watching a group of people do nothing but moan, who wants to watch that? Yet, I am sure there was more than one series, befuddling, no?
Books to read. There, a swift change of subject. I treated myself to an early gift, it was on my ‘to read’ list along with a couple of others, though one of them was a present for my good lady and I won’t be borrowing it. No, the one I bought was “As A Man Thinketh” by James Allen.
It was bought to my attention during an interview I was watching, what was his name? It will come to me, though I currently have an image of Dr Wayne Dyer in my head and it definitely wasn’t him, someone that moves in the same circles though.
The name has a ‘z’ in the surname but it’s just not coming through. Possibly ‘Joe’ as the first name, no, that’s Dr Joe Dispenza, not him. Flip, there’s only one left. I’ll have to figure it out later and add it back in.
The interview was very good and at the end, the guy asking the questions asked for a list of ‘must-read’ books and the one above was on the list, so I bought a copy. The only disappointment was that it’s only twenty-five pages long, probably less in a book with smaller print. Still, it’s not quantity, now is it.
One of the other books was “Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, which I have already read, I think, it was a while ago mind, certainly worth another go.
Ah, I just went to one of my open tabs, it was an Amazon one and the first thing I saw was a picture of Bob Proctor, that’s the one who recommended the book, I knew I’d get there in the end, it was starting to make me itch.
I’m calling it for today, time to go answer some notifications and check the washing, did I mention that the washing machine was playing up? It’s refusing to spin consistently, sometimes it does, most times it doesn’t, don’t worry, not your problem, I have a workaround.
Don’t forget to check out any of the other posts, how about ‘Procrastination? Let Me Think About That.‘
Till next time my friends.
