As October is slipping away, I must honor my commitment of posting at least one new post a month. So, this is it. It is astounding how much writing I do and yet I can't seem to squeeze this in more often. However, the incredible fatigue and blurry eyes remind me that there is only so much that one can accomplish in a day.

Do you ever wonder how certain people seem to have boundless streams of undying energy? I wish I knew their secret. Today during my midday beach walk, I had to seriously push through the aching legs and the wind drag. I'm blaming part of it on the Santa Anas that suddenly raised our temperature and skyrocketed the pressure. Part of it also belongs to my hormones this week and part is just sheer fatigue.

My latest assignment is to try to keep up with a whirling dervish. A very lovable dervish, but a whirlwind, nonetheless. Well, actually that's only part of the story. My actual job is to write copy and develop content for a website launch. The whirling dervish is the guy in charge who is one of those boundless energy types I was referring to earlier. I don't know how he does it. And some nights he doesn't even sleep! Yet he manages to carry on with a smile on his face. In fact, he's so charismatic and playful you'd never know he's been running at 100 mph. I know he must be exhausted; I wonder how he does it?

As my eyelids grow heavy and a yawn crawls across my face I wish I was one of them. I'm doing my best to keep up with all the exciting events as they unfold and still manage to fit in the stuff I need for me. If I can keep up my yoga practice and continue to produce great work, then I'll consider that a victory. And if my blog suffers for a little while, well...
