the trouble with calendars

I tried to make a calendar for more consistent writing and, somehow, writing become the "least necessary" item on that list. Too often, breakfast was also too low on that list.

And while I might be back to eating breakfast--most of the time--writing has been harder to fit in. Drawing, less possible. Luckily, I have some good people who find me when I need them to find me:

Out of nowhere, about eight years since seeing each other, an old schoolmate emailed me about her writing blog and suggested I get on board. The idea of it alone made me spend the early morning, before work, writing.

Sheena found a chalk art project in Elmira, right about the time my daily drawings stopped being daily.

It's a small mind blow at least to think that these people somehow knew to reach out, knew that I needed some pushing.
