Christmas Parking
I was writing in my other blogs here a bit earlier and forgot to write in this one. Silly me. I will ramble for awhile here, and then go on to other things. It’s nice to just write without having a particular subject in mind. I had a taste of Christmas shopping crazies in the parking lot tonight. I couldn’t find my usual set of parking spaces near my local Kinko’s. It didn’t bother me particularly, but it did seem like there were a lot more cars watching to see if I was going to give up my space or not. Fortunately I have a compact car, so I snuck into a small space at the end of the line of larger cars. It was very snug next to an SUV that took up quite a bit of space. Fortunately the SUV was gone by the time I returned to my car. I didn’t think that it would be too hard to back out of the parking lot, but I’m never really that comfortable when I’m parked near a larger car, especially near an SUV.

Creativity Punch — First Exercise
Please follow these general rules for all exercises!!
Snow Movement
Have you ever tried to walk in knee-deep or lower snow? I have. It isn’t easy. It’s quite aerobic to say the least. Not too mention wet, cold and well, I think you can figure out the rest.
I don’t make a habit of walking in the snow, especially here where I live. But, I did do a little bit of it in Oregon, during my college years. Needless to say, I much prefer to sit inside near a warm and cozy fire, drinking some tea and chatting with friends, studying and watching the world outside, through the nearest window.
Need To Blog? — Balance
I talk about balance a lot. I do it, because oftentimes I don’t maintain a good balance in my life, between many areas, especially work and relaxation. At the moment I’m writing this to remind myself that I need to write in my offline paper journal for a bit today. I told someone that I would do so, on Friday, and did I? No. I didn’t. I can tell when I need to journal, because in other parts of my life, I start to feel restless and a bit irritable. I know better than to push myself like this. If I continue in this direction, I will probably end up in a stupid and useless argument with someone because I haven’t taken the time to talk out what was bothering me in the first place. That’s a habit I’ve been working hard on breaking. It doesn’t help me or the other person to pick a fight, but it does provide a temporary distraction for me, at least for awhile.
