I am supposed to be working on a writing assignment right now. But my mind does not seem to respond to this requirement. It is not touched by the urgency of the matter.
So I am working on a blog post. I am hoping this will kickstart my brain so that I can finish the work I should have finished earlier.
It's funny. I've always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid. I once said that if I am able to earn my keep writing then I would be happy.
So now here I am. I have a job that lets me write a lot of things. And I know people will be reading what I write. Yet there are times when I find myself sighing in frustration. The words are not coming. The ideas are not forming. And I have deadlines.
Writer's block? I don't think so, not today. I already have a concept, I just don't want to write. And I can't seem to get my head into gear.
I read that there should be a time reserved for doing this. It should be a habit by now. Not with me.
Still, I have to get back to work.
Mama Mia
I like that song by ABBA but it has nothing to do with this post.
I just finished watching a video from Lea Salonga's Songs from the Stage concert. In this segment (I guess it was close to the end of the show), she sang Wind Beneath My Wings and dedicated it to her mother.
Well, I found myself crying. Why?
Maybe it's because I lost my mother a few years ago and still feel it. Come to think of it, I sometimes also cry over stories about kind fathers. Yesterday was the anniversary of when we buried mine 33 years ago.
Or maybe I will not have children of my own anymore.

Another New Year, Another New Beginning
I do make new year resolutions. In fact I wrote about how to keep them some years ago (note to self - ebook).
I don't believe in just going with the flow although it seemed for a time that I was just floating through life. I believe we are all meant to do something on this earth more than existing. So every year, I try to reflect and see if I am getting nearer to accomplishing what It is I am supposed to do before my stay on this earth comes to an end.
You need to find what it is you should be doing. You need to establish your legacy for the next generations. You have to determine your purpose.
And what do you do after you have fulfilled your purpose? Find the next one of course.
