wising it up

i was sitting here thinking, okay, claire, time to do some blogging if you're going to make this another record-breaking year! and then of course i thought, jeepers, i really shouldn't blog just for the sake of typing out any old whatever just so i can keep improving on my annual blogging output ... what i ought to be doing is blogging when i really truly have something to say.

but, i still sat here trying to think of what to blog. for some reason, my brain said if i came up with something wise, something worthwhile, something like i feel like i used to write more often here in blogland, that would justify making myself blog.

can you really force wisdom, though? and honestly, haven't most of my "wise" or "moving" posts come about because i just started writing something and then just kept on to see where it went?

in which case, wouldn't making myself blog for the sake of making myself blog also result in some pretty wise posts, just based on my track record?

i guess i've been feeling a little spent lately ... mostly the good kind of spent, like after a really great workout (i'm basing that entirely off of things i've heard and read. i have never in my life had a really great workout. unless you count all those sex marathons. holy crap, of course you should count them, especially since that kind of workout almost always ends up with everybody being the good kind of spent!) ... but maybe a little bit of over-the-hillish kind of spent, or perceived over-the-hillishness anyway.

which is dumb, you know? yeah, i'm physically pretty creaky these days, but i have a young soul. i'm still perky somewhere in there, if i don't let myself go on and on about the creakiness.

also, i'm pretty sure if i looked back through all these years of blogging, i'd find plenty of not-so-wise posts. goofy dumb stuff ... naughty poems ... all those lonnnggg rpg writeups.

that stuff's awesome too, right?

things don't have to be wise or emotionally magnificent to be worth the time you spend saying them.

so that's my wisdom for tonight: remember that your soul is young, and don't limit yourself to doing or saying important things.

it's all important, actually.

xoxo,
claire
