Today's Obligatory NaBloPoMo Post

If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice

N. Peart

Here we are on day 18 of NaBloPoMo and my series of posts on things for which I am thankful. I'm in kind of a jam here though. I have to post something today to keep up with NaBloPoMo but it's Sunday and I worked most of the day and I just don't have it in me.

It isn't that there is a shortage of topics. I have yet to write about my wife, my cats, my record collection, in fact there are a good 20 topics remaining on my list. I think they are all good topics, things which I think would be interesting to read about. The problem is, I just don't feel like writing about them today.

Actually, this is all my fault. I see now that I wrote the easy ones first. Slippers, Cocoa, Lazy Saturdays. Now the remainder are harder, requiring more thought and effort. I only get one chance at these and I don't want them to be throw-aways.

Wait - I see something, a topic that has been moved around since day 2. I planned on writing about Free Will at some point. I had all sorts of notes and philosophical ideas about it. It would have been epic really, the defining entry in my NaBloPoMo crown.

But in light of my overall lack of enthusiasm - I'm going to cop out. Instead I'm just going to briefly mention how thankful I am for Free Will. It allows me as a thinking adult to say I don't feel like writing about anything for which I am thankful today and move on.

Until tomorrow,
SB
