377 days, blog #104 - a day off

Yesterday was a day that started with moderation and then took off without much pause.

It was a good day, though.  Full of accomplishment.  It ended with a heartfelt conversation with a friend I don’t see all too often.  And so, I found myself once more neglecting one of my 377 days.

And this morning I decided that’s okay.

Part of discipline, I realize, isn’t just sticking with the habit.  It’s also knowing when to give the habit a reprieve, and thus some perspective.  So a day off here and there isn’t a bad thing.  Especially when it involves conversation in front of the fire.

Of course, my mind is tired today.  I crave thinking about someone else’s creative output more than my own after a weekend that was full of theater and… okay, writing was definitely on the back burner for Saturday and Sunday.

So my plan for tonight is to head home, have some spicy soup, watch the Dr. Who finale, and get some rest so I can start it all again tomorrow.

Because my brain is toast.
