the conundrum

We decided to have a garage sale this morning. I arose at 4:30 and started moving stuff around in the garage so we could get it arranged out on the driveway in neat, almost 'Walmart'ish rows. Seems like we would get some 'flow' and, hell, I know marketing so I could drive the customers in a way to get to the end with all the impulse buy items... cassettes of the Dooby Bros and such.

It is 34 degrees this morning and I am sitting here blogging in the shade freezing my fingers off. I could go into the sun, but then I cannot see the laptop screen.

So the conundrum... go where it is safe and warm and not have the chance to be creative, or stay where I am, possibly freezing to the keyboard in a dramatic... ahh, it's just cold. But cold or not, I am risking and feeling uncomfortable as I work on my book and try to be creative.

That's the way it is with creative people. Go in the sun and just be comfortable or stay where the comfort level is less, but the freedom is greater. Choices. We make them everyday.
