I can’t believe it’s been 10 days since I posted anything, but I’ve been learning really important lessons about what’s important of late.
I’m trying to force myself into a regular discipline of writing. My goal is an hour a day. Doesn’t sound all that daunting, but wow, it’s beyond difficult at times. Tonight, I come home from slaving for the man with a pounding headache because I was reading confidentiality laws for like 4 hours (try it…riveting…really) and like a hundred household odds and ends to do, forced myself to write a page of dialogue and talked to someone about the set design for a drama sketch I’m directing in two weeks, and I realized my head was absolutely spinning. I feel like I’ve just sat down for the night, and it’s too late…I have to go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow.
And then, after stealing a few precious seconds to soak up the night sounds on our balcony, I turned to find my wife making faces at me through the glass door to get me to laugh.
I laughed. We both did, for a while.
God speaks through laughter, because He told me tonight what makes this all worthwhile.
