Making good Mondays is like making coffee -


The week is before us - like the coffee pot - waiting to brew. Making it good is a matter of choice, luck, creativity, patience and acceptance of the outcome.

Musing from afar --


This is an experimental post drafted from my iGoogle Home Page.

It would be a way for me to post on a whim. Or a quick thought might lead to something else, if I used it only for drafting purposes.

The idea is to strike while the muse is on my shoulder, rather than wailing for the muse to come. Creativity is often far away at the time when it is convenient for for my logical, linear-thinking, overly rational part. This is the part that is obsessive, obligated and self-critical.

My muse is there for me only if allowed -- not demanded.
