Motivation

It's been a challenge to sit down and write this post. Actually it's been a challenge to do pretty much anything now a days. It's not that it's physically demanding. On the contrary, as my strength returns I feel more and more like my old self again. Minus a leg.

The problem is I don't generally have enough motivation to do much of anything. I love to listen to music on pandora.com. One feature of the website is that after a certain amount of time, they stop playing music, to make sure a live person is actually there interacting with the website. On occasions like this it's hard to work up the motivation to take my mouse and click. I've laid there, just staring at the wall for maybe half an hour before starting the music up again.

Needless to say that it's nearly impossible to get anything actually done. Due largely to prodding from my mother I finally signed up for my classes, an accomplishment possible only because I knew exactly which classes I needed already.

I've always been a procrastinator, but now I'm taking it to the extremes. I love this blog, because to post something daily forces me to break out of my mental stupor. It forces me to get off my butt, put aside all the crap that's happened and DO SOMETHING!

It's not much, but it's a start.
