Lazy

Cold weather makes me lazy.    Cold and wind seem good reasons at 4:30 AM to stay in a warm house.   By 8:00 AM I'm kicking myself for not getting out and walking.   At 5:30 PM my dogs are kicking me for not getting out and walking.   All that kicking and yet I'm lazy.

Sometimes I have false starts.   I get all dressed in my finest warm clothes and my flashing lights.   I hook up my dogs and head outside.   I make it partially down the lane and I turn around.   It's too cold for the dogs, it's too cold for me, I forgot I better get to work early today...false start and the kicking begins.

I find my motivation with mind games.   I'm driving a dogsled across Alaska.   I'm leading a search party into the frozen waste land.   I've landed on a unknown planet and must walk to where Captain Kirk will rendezvous.  

A bit crazy but it's better than all that kicking.

  1. Just don't pretend the dogs are sherpas. Not sure where they would guide you.
