Weekends are for catching up on laundry, cleaning the floors, grocery shopping, running errands, cutting the grass, and washing the dishes. These projects keep me moving, my hands are busy, and oxygen floods through my bloodstream. Our brains depend on the stuff more than any other part of the body. Oxygenation blood fuels our neurons, and studies suggest that blasts of oxygen can help improve cognitive functions.
Besides, simple tasks occupy the critic that stifles our shy creative side. While it is busy it leaves us free to contemplate grand plans and conjure amazing stories. My notebooks bear grass stains, water droplets, and spaghetti sauce splatters that attest to the dire need to record and capture those ideas before they disappear into the ether. The by-product is a clean house.
Where do your best ideas originate?

LOL – Last night I sent you my story. Not sure if you check your JoHawk emails. I know I do not check my Brilliant Viewpoint emails all the time, so letting you know.
I smiled at your quote, because this morning I was up early. While doing laundry went walking by the Lake and talked to my mother. She had just been in Italy visiting relatives, so had a lot of news to tell me. Their little town has a new Mayor. 🙂
Even while multi-tasking, our mind can STILL think of new and creative things. It’s a beautiful day, the birds are chirping like mad, we are half way through the year. We still have 6 months to accomplish GREAT things! Let’s make it happen!

Yes, I got it. 👍 Today has been a slow start, but isn’t that what Sundays are for?
There is nothing like catching up on family gossip and happenings around the old neighborhood. You just never know what will spark a new story idea.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
