Maybe it's just confused because I only posted one sentence?
I don't see anything wrong...
Just because I'm usually wordier, I don't think blogger should give me a message like that. It isn't fair. It's just not right. And it's SO boring posting a test comment to your own blog...
I feel really drained...
One can find boundless energy to do a disagreeable task as a way to avoid an even more disagreeable task. The tax return that needs to be filled in encourages one to tidy one's clothes drawers, write to long-neglected relatives, clean the house etc etc: anything to put off the most dreaded task.

P.S. Thanks for the post on my site. I left a comment there for you also. ;)
"If wishes were horses then beggars would ride." Must be an old saying. I never heard it from anybody else. She was born in 1897 and died 1976.

I would like to pass something for you. Please, visit me.
God bless you!
"Doubt of any kind is ended only by action." (or something like that, anyway)
-Thomas Carlyle
(At least I think so - just kidding, it was him, I remember that much for sure anyway...)
CRYSTAL: By "forgetting" I was thinking along the lines of what Buddhist and Christian contemplatives respectively call "mindfulness" and "recollection." So not abolishing or literally forgetting. A matter of spiritual pragmatism, so to speak.
Anyway, Paul, you are right. I think it's clever the way you started out with a one-sentence post about boundless energy for disagreeable tasks... only to find the extra energy to follow up your own one-sentence post with a "real" post. Hee hee! God has a great sense of humor.
Much love to you, Paul.
I am still trying to keep my blogging to a minimum. But I have been secretly following your blog for a couple of months now. I was so sorry to hear that your physical condition had worsened. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I look forward to the completion of your book. Please let me know when it is available to purchase. I have so enjoyed getting to know you, Paul, through this medium. You have given me much to think about.
SUSIEQ: I will, and me too. It really has been an unexpected pleasure that through blogging, I feel like I've gotten to meet and sometimes even know, in some real ways, people I'd never otherwise have met.
it seems like except you and my grand father no one reads the long ones ;)
