By What Standard Should I Measure Success?

I’m never quite sure what to make of days like today. I did lots of good: I spent time with people I care about, including helping Jana get ready for her trip and taking her to the airport and sushi/grocery-shopping/practice/dinner with the kiddos. I got in a spectacular bouldering session, working hard and conquering new problems that seemed impossible just 2-3 weeks ago. I prepped a week’s worth of healthy lunches and breakfasts, including a huge scrumptious salad and a concoction of plain yogurt, fresh berries, raw almonds and maple syrup. I whittled my inbox from nearly 300 messages to less than 100.
But when I sat down to write this afternoon, I eked out maybe a hundred words. I tweeted, I wandered off following a chain of Internet links, I spent time doing “research.” But ultimately, no real writing to show for it.
I think I forgot the Will to Write today. I’ll get it back tomorrow.
