Nothing much

Nothing much www.undertheyardarm.com

Sometimes there is nothing to say.

Sometimes the words are not for public consumption.

For the first time in a a long while I have nothing to write about. Perhaps I am still in my cave.

I wonder about this blogging caper. It seems of late I wonder about it a lot.

As February rolls on and I cling to the last days of summer the thoughts are quiet.

It seems a little disconcerting. But then I know the year will ramp up before long. With birthdays, anniversaries and Easter arriving before I know it, things will get busy quickly.

With what already seems like the longest Australian election ever I know there will be things to say. Thoughts to be wrung out.

With a child in their last year of primary school, I know there will be words.

As the work year progresses, as tiredness no doubt kicks in thoughts will out.

So, instead of worrying about what I don’t have to say I will wait.

Instead of manufacturing words I will wait until they come.

I will swim. I will read. I will camp. Work will take some of my time and family the rest.

And while the sun shines and I am warm to the bone with its rays I will be content with each day as it comes.

Sometimes you just can’t force the words. Enjoy the swimming and the reading and the camping and the resting.

being content is very close to being at peace, and greater than mere chatty happiness. You have few words but each is carefully chosen and beautifully delivered. Stoicism works!

Feeling very much the same, a day at the pool today was unbeatable.
