So here's my birthday present to myself: an hour a day. Here's my agenda for the hour: I sit for 20 minutes, as always. This sitting, in various forms, has been part of my day since I was 24. Always about twenty minutes, usually less, very near to daily. So that's nothing new. Then twenty minutes of exercise--I've been pretty good with that one for a few years now, lately jogging in my geriatric style with five pound weights strapped to my ankles. So here's the really special part of the birthday present: twenty minutes writing, every day.
I need a structure for this, like the sitting happens early in the morning and the jogging goes with Nellie's morning poop, between nine and eleven. So what is writing time? I'm not sure...but it feels like a good present to give myself.
