When life deals you lemons, you just make lemonade

Today has been one of the first days in my month here on WA that I have not been very motivated to work on my site. I had an article. I had an article idea all lined up, but my motivation is just not there.

Been a rough few weeks for me. Been unemployed for several months and trying to change my career direction to top it all off. Went on an interview today that went well, but I still left feeling defeated, which is the cause of my motivation block. My cat has been to the vet twice in the past week, and he is finally feeling better so that is another obstacle out of the way.

Although I am not motivated to write my own article, I do enjoy commenting and helping others in WA and figured that is the best way to spend my night. After that, I am going to clear my head by making some music. I found it funny the other day that my site is about synthesizer and I have spent more time writing about them then I have playing them.

Tomorrow is another day. With the snow coming my way tonight, tomorrow will be a great day to start writing my article. Although my motivation isn't here right now, I cannot let a bad day defeat me from reaching my goals. I will move on looking at today in my rear view mirror and keep moving forward.
