Recipe for Writing

    10 a.m.

    Take a bleak, rainy day.  Mix in some fatigue and fibro fog.  Add a dash of guilt that no inspirational ideas are forthcoming.  Write a few sentences anyway.  Stir well.  Put on back burner for four hours to see if any insights bubble to the surface.

    2 p.m.

    Wake up from your nap.  Read an email from a close friend who affirms your writing efforts.  Walk the 600 steps down the wooded, winding driveway to bring in the mail.  Return with heart rejoicing; check the back burner and capture the newest bubbles at the keyboard. 

    Serve, warmed by the Spirit, and watch the blessings multiply to feed all who are hungry.
