Hello, and welcome to the second draft of the blog. That’s right. I am giving you a peek behind the curtain. I was very angry just now. I just finished eating a bag of crisps, and now I am in a much better place. I wasn’t hungry. I guess that makes me an emotional eater. Technology was not on my side today.

I know. Don’t worry. Today’s blog won’t be “laptop” this and “internet” that. I was going to write about how frustrated I was, but I know better these days. I think they call that maturing. Today’s blog will have a bit of a moan, albeit a more light-hearted moan. It’s all about meditation.

I have been meditating since that time, three years ago. I was always interested in it but never gave it enough attention. Given the state of the world at that time, I thought it was as good a time as any to start. Fast forward over 1100 days later, and I still do it every day, in some way. It is what keeps me sane. The jury is still out on whether or not it helps me deal calmly with slow technology.

As the title may suggest, things have been lacking lately. My phone tells me as much. At the start of the year, I was racking up close to an average of an hour daily. Now, I am barely squeaking past 15 minutes.

Yeah, life happens. But the other school of thought would argue that my time is my time, and I should be dedicating time to doing it rather than saying, “screw it”, and just doing the bare minimum to keep my streak going. It kind of feels like cheating.

Today was a decent day vis-á-vis meditating. It all goes back to getting up early and having peace before the house wakes up. That’s enough rambling. I just wanted to write things until I felt better, and now, I do. I am ending the blog for totally selfish reasons. I am just being honest with you.

On Friday, I will discuss all the creative projects and stuff I have going on. That’s what Fridays are for. I may have a bit of fiction. I have to avoid posting any fiction because there are a lot of competitions out there that I have yet to enter. I have a lot of potential entries too. More about that on Friday.

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for reading. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your time.
