There’s a moment that happens during the day that is so frustrating for me that I can hardly stand it.  It’s the moment when the research is done and my thoughts are flowing. That moment when my thoughts are coming together perfectly and it’s turning into a fantastic story, and then I look up at the clock and realize it’s time to go to work.  So much for that perfect flow!

Shockingly, this happens to me just about every day. And it always seems to happen right when I get into that groove and what I’m trying to say is finally getting put down on paper.  For the life of me, I don’t know what to do to remedy this situation. After all, I have to go to work to make ends meet and do what needs to be done to provide for my family.  I have a mortgage and two car payments to think about as well as trying to put food on the table.  Thankfully that isn’t a struggle for us right now, but the time I spend working to take care of those things interferes with my passion.

At this point, writing and talking about sports doesn’t pay the bills.  I know it will soon enough, but I’m not there just yet.  So for now, I have to let thoughts and stories drift away each day so that I can take care of my own.  And as frustrating as that is, I am okay with that because my family comes first and they are the most important thing in the world to me.
