Gloomy days are made for writing and this dreary day is no different except for the fact that the following may be the first ever dog-assisted blog post.
There may have been others before Miss Lina decided to lean her chin on my arm and catapult me into word choices like no dog before her.
Is it a game she’s playing when she pushes my hands and fingers from the keyboard?
Is there some hidden meaning to what she’s doing?
Who knows. All I know is I’m about to use really big words here.
Temperature.
Barometric pressure.
One smart fellow he felt smart.
I’m just a simple man working on the land that is my keyboard.
Man that was kind of evidence I’ve entered uncharted waters.
If you’re working on the land how can you enter water?
Sometimes tree limbs and bows bow to the wind. Did you see what I did with bows bow?
Just another first here at hittingthesweetspot by Bob Skelley.
People go crazy for less.
Actually, people go crazy sometimes for lack of a better schedule of activities they can enjoy on the weekend.
And still the dog nose presses on.
What a week it was last week.
What a week it was the week before.
Taking naps tends to nicely break up a Saturday afternoon.
So does having two dogs by your side as you type.
Put something up for sale.
Buy something that is up for sale.
Take advantage of your opportunities.
Don’t let anyone bring you down.
You still have time even if it’s not plentiful.
It ain’t over ’til it’s over.
Why can’t things be simpler?
Why are things so complicated?
What is a layer of complexity?
Do the right thing even if you don’t know what that is sometimes.
Guess you can make your best guestimate.
Just put some words down and it’ll begin to flow.
Why?
Because it always does.
Now the dog nose is under my arm, continuing to guide my keystrokes with her warmth. Where else can you find sentences like this?
Plan your day.
If you’re feeling silly.
Have goals, but not too many.
You’ll tend to achieve more this way.
Fail less.
And you will succeed more often.
If you have writer’s block, call a writing plumber.
If you mature do you understand more?
Maybe you do, but if not, what are the prospects these days for an immature adult?
They could be a comedian.
Or a comedienne.
Or comically-inclined.
Court jester-like.
Pictures are just snippets of movement, non-movement, movement staged and movement longing for immortality.
Don’t ever stop putting words down on artificial parchment paper.
The beauty and magic that is taking pen to paper. It is also one of the beauties that doesn’t happen as often as it used to.
What does it feel like to move your fingers in such a fashion that it can imprint words on artificial canvases?
Is it writing?
Is it typing?
Or is it something in between?
Does being chronically tardy indicate you don’t really want to be where you’re going?
What if you could go through a dog door designed for human beings?
Would there be a huge demand?
Or would the supply just grow huge after they were manufactured and nobody bought them?
A blanket feels good.
It helps you snore.
Said no one ever.
The dog said that’s a good way to leave this until next time.
I questioned her.
She basically told me to be quiet with her eyes.
