Thursday is for Thinking

Good morning, my dear readers. No more posts until after Easter, it’s my habit to spend Good Friday in prayer. Some readers suggested Thursday is for Thoughts as Thursday’s theme, and in a way I’m going to do that.

I’m going to share my thought here. Only on Thursdays, I promise!

My most recent health crisis ended about 2 a.m. today. I’m grateful that it’s over, and as always my deepest thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. There’s been some new mild motor impairment— there always is, and I always learn how to handle it. The “new normal”, to borrow a phrase from Covid.

This time the cognitive impairment (also mild, thankfully) has affected my ability to think sequentially, as in following the “Put tab A in slot B” kind of instructions. I can no longer find the slot Bs. But that is no impediment to creative work — just look at Philip K Dick. Of course, I do not pretend to have the kind of talent which enables a creator to transform personal pain into a new art form, as he did; but whilst I still can, I should be putting words onto paper more often.

Everyone who is waiting for me to deliver something, I promise that I will get to it. Eventually. Luck of the Irish Goodies Prizes will be sent right after the Easter break.

Have a wonderful Easter everyone.
