Well, that just goes to show me... routine`s are nice, but don`t count on them! This morning, the 750 words site wouldn`t let me log in, and a bunch of other people as well. So... I feel kind of at loose ends. Plus I`m out of my other routines as well... Got up later than usual, and everything feels different today.
Funny how that works. We get into a routine and get comfortable with that, and then something comes along that upsets our apple cart and we need to regroup and readjust. I am missing my morning pages though. Of course, I probably could just open Word and type up a blank page storm for 750 words but it`s not quite the same thing. You see, on this 750 words site, you start to get a streak going if you don`t miss a day, and you get points and little badges. If I miss today, then I`m back to step one again. Silly little small things perhaps, but it just goes to show you that we humans do not need a lot of motivation to get something done. Even virtual things which mean nothing in the real world, are enough to get us going. Hence the popularity of computer games! People could be a Wii Tennis Champion in the virtual world... but it really means nothing in the real world... but someone it gets them coming back to play wii tennis in front of their television or computer. Kind of odd, isn't it? Yup... we will do the crazies things for the oddest of reasons. And we will not do the most sensible of things no matter how good the reason. Yeah... go figure that one out!
