People watching is always fun. Airports are generally a good place for this, as they see all walks of life, all ages, all levels of affluence and influence, or lack there of. Similarly, your mid-level car dealership service areas offer the same level of people watching. You might not find this range of individuals at the BMW or VW dealerships. But at a car brand that attracts many different levels of economic standing and many different age demographics, you’re pretty much in luck. This applies to Toyota and Honda, in particular, and perhaps Chevy and Ford as well. Especially on a Saturday morning.
I, myself, am at the Honda dealership. I’ve very rarely found it difficult to write, especially when the desire and time are present, as writing for my own enjoyment is not something I have a lot of opportunity for anymore. Yet here, in the midst of this very interesting mix of humanity, I find my words coming in starts and stops, and I find myself becoming progressively frustrated at the strings of sentences I am producing. Observational humor is something that I relish and excel at, and when sitting in the movie-theater arranged area that is the waiting room should only produce a wealth of wonderful ideas. Yet here I sit, bemoaning my lack of inspiration (how can that be, you should see the people around me!) and my mind wanders back to this blog, and my plans for it.
Recently I began posting what is sure to be a very long bucket list. Recording the things I want to do and see in list form appeals to my list-making soul, and will someday afford me the ability to cross items off my list. Let me tell you, there is little more satisfying. So then where does this blog go? For life in general, I have recently been consumed by a number of desires that I want to implement, and am struggling with how.
Fitness, and that inherent lifestyle, is important to me. Yoga is something that I love, as are cycling, and running, and going to the gym. But I find it difficult to balance all these desires. I have this ideal lifestyle in my head, where I don’t love junk food, and I spring from bed pop-tart like at 5am so I can get in a run or a gym session before leaving for work. Thus far, that has somehow not happened. I feel like I have a mental block that is keeping me from figuring out how to work my runs, rides, and mat practices into a schedule that already includes several evenings at work a week and a long work day. How does all that get balanced? I suppose it’s just good self-discipline, which I know I possess, but which seems to be missing lately.
To my original point, I am not sure where I would like to go with this blog. I love the idea of recording my journey back to yoga, but that seems a bit behind if I have already spent the last three months doing that and not recording it.
So essentially, stay tuned. As much as I am sure that everyone cares ever so much about my daily thoughts, I know I need a focus, which is part of the reason my writing here has been so intermittent. So perhaps inspiration will find me. Let’s hope it’s soon.
