Wow, We Have Almost Reached September!

Sometimes it feels to me like the old saying "time flies" is pretty much an understatement!

It seems like summer started just a short while ago, and yet? In a couple of days it's going to be the month of September already! Today - August 30th - also happened to be my birthday, which traditionally has always marked the end of summer for me!

Perhaps not in the real and tangible sense, but at least as a bookmark in my mind that when my birthday moved around, it also meant that summer was about to end. That might just be a hangover from childhood and having to go back to school...

Sadly, I haven't felt very inspired in the creative department recently. In about a week from now, Mrs. Denmarkguy and I will be attending a large outdoor arts and crafts fair where we set up as vendors and I sell my painted stones and she sells her miniature furniture. We quite enjoy doing outdoor shows, but they're also a lot of work.

These days, we can't really afford to be picky about whether something is "a lot of work," we simply need to get up and go and do it because times are tough and our ability to participate in these events significantly impacts our ability to pay our bills and stay on top of our budgets for the month.

Creative inspiration is a funny thing. I just never know when it's going to be strong and good, and when it's not going to be much of anything.

Sometimes it feels a bit strange to say something like that, particularly considering that I've actually been an active blogger for about 25 years. Even so, when I look back across those 25 years, there have been quite a few gaps in there, some of them lasting several years, where I just didn't really feel like keeping on.

My current activity with my blog here on Hive is starting to approach 7 years and that actually makes it one of the writing projects I've been involved with (continuously) for the longest time!

I'm actually very grateful for this place in the sense that it has not only offered a great writing outlet, but also has taught me a whole lot about crypto that I didn't know before, and this opportunity to build a small savings account as a "thank you" for creating content online has been an excellent experience.

Hopefully my creative inspiration will return in the next few weeks and I can return to being a bit more active for the remainder of 2023.

In the meantime, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great remainder of your week!
