I Am Taking the Rest of the Week Off!

I'm just not feeling the blog this week, folks. I've been doing some personal writing, and trying to build up some endurance in that area, as I begin to realize that I cannot learn, or understand, or think particularly clearly without writing things down. Errors and misunderstandings that creep in when I'm working things out in my head often become apparent when I take the time to put my thoughts down. They become more objective and clearer somehow when that happens.

Check back on Monday to see if there is anything new. Until then, if you are looking for something to read, check out a couple of my favorite blogs:

Damon has been working on his organic gardening blog at Greenhorn Gardening. If you subscribe you will get an email delivered to your inbox each week, after an initial introductory set of emails each day for the first week. The latest email I received was about creating compost and fertilizer material using worms. Damon also posts a podcast to his blog each week, complete with helpful resources.

Unclutterer by Erin Doland is one of my favorite practical blogs. I haven't read her book by the same name yet, but her posts are always useful and informative. She answers clutter busting questions each week that are submitted by her readers; features an uncluttered workspace each week, also submitted by her readers and complete with full color photos; and her unitasker posts are always amusing. I find her to be a terrific resource for ideas on making changes to streamline your home and routine. Yesterday she shared a practical tool for making fun and exciting vacation plans. I don't know about you, but I was inspired by it.


That's it for this morning. If I get permission from the author in time, I will post another blog suggestion before the end of the week. Again, check back here on Monday to see what sort of inspiration strikes over the weekend.
