This is my brain, procrastinating

     Oops, 4 days since my last post. Doing some serious avoidance here. So many things to do, promises to keep, people to please. Funny how some things become habits and others don't. I've got into the habit at least of always finding an image to go with my blog post. Yea!
     On the other hand, actually blogging has not become as much of a habit as I'd like.
     Ran across this image on the web, and find some truth in it for me. But how to be sure that what I am doing, which may not sometimes look like work, or like what I "should" be doing, is actually the right thing for me to do.
     Like watching Downton Abbey tonight, for instance. Instead of working on our next book. Hmm. However, I did cook a boiled ham dinner tonight, and do the dishes! And write this post. And do some retirement planning. And food shopping, and a good day's work at DP.

I'm reminded by your post of a part in the novel "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. The men are in a boat going up a jungle river, and they must avoid rocks, steer clear of overhanging branches from trees in the jungle---and because of this, the writer explains, they can't look at the beauty in the jungle. They can't relax enough to do this because it would be too dangerous. They might hit a rock and the boat would sink.

God Mike, sometimes I think I've become so good at fighting alligators that I forget why I came into the swamp!
