I have been unable to write using the computer. It is so strange but my mind goes blank when faced with a cursor and a blank screen. I’ve decided to go back to pen and paper. The physical clinch of the fingers and the sound of the pen scratching the paper; the tactile helps this ancient brain.

I want to start up my blog again and do more than just record the passing day. So much is going on and writing can be a good outlet. But so much of the time I feel distracted … or is it sedated… by the bombardment of TV and the lure of the internet. The ability to focus and concentrate seems to slip away. I look up and the evening has passed. I am going to set aside time in the evening and make an effort to write and exercise my brain.

I’m committed now.
