Eva’s Byte #225 – Making a World of Difference
To me, there’s nothing more profound than the simple cliché, “The best things in life are free”.
Since many of us in the 40+ age range make a world of difference to others in our capacity of caregiving, time and energy for fostering one’s well-being are often nonexistent. Speaking from personal experience, I let things get the best of me. I even berate myself for not being able to write more than I do.
Hence, the gift of “time” makes a world of difference, affording me the wherewithal to indulge in life’s simple, yet grandiose pleasures:
One of them, tending to my floral arrangements.
Staying home for a day or two, allows me to recuperate from the rush of running several errands, and driving back and forth in accommodation. I’m able to focus on my creative endeavors at the keyboard while sipping a Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee, preferably mocha or vanilla.
Since I thrive on very little sleep—4 to 5 hours at most, every now and then I enjoy an afternoon nap. Even better if that nap coincides with a rainy day.
The luxury of time allows me to recharge and build up my stamina for the next round with potential to ruffle my feathers.
I’ve yet to indulge in gifting myself a leisurely drive to the shore to reflect upon all that glimmers in my horizon. Until I do, I’m appreciative of the bay breeze wafting through my office windows on a relatively carefree day.

Eva’s Byte #509 – Distractions
Setting aside noble obligations which tend to pack a punch with stress and anxiety, distractions also interfere with a writer’s daily output. Generically speaking, housework and grocery shopping.
Despite being away from my computer for the aforementioned, or any other distraction, my writer’s mind is still at work turning phrases and channeling ideas.
From my perspective, distractions are beneficial for recharging and for gaining new insights. Recalling the typewriter scene in The Shining: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
In the capacity of a writer plotting along my Contemporary work in progress, I’m drafting chapter 9 (1160 words thus far).
*May each of us embrace life’s mundane and pleasant distractions as food for thought.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
