It will certainly be interesting to see how he does. <br /><br />As for blogging, I aim to post six days a week - like you I find myself short of inspiration sometimes, but then other times I have so many ideas i write a few posts at once and set them all at draft, so i can use them when I've no ideas.

But of course all writers have days like that. Even as a journalist, when the facts were not in doubt and I didn't have to create a plot, I still had times when I didn't know where to start. <br /><br />(Good tip from a great former sub-editor: start at paragraph 2, it's less daunting. Add the intro later. )<br /><br />You've probably seen <a href="http://morningaj.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/a-new-pope.html" rel="nofollow">my take on the new pope</a> and you probably realised I wouldn't take it terribly seriously.MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-26682395922011378182013-03-15T02:59:00.692-07:002013-03-15T02:59:00.692-07:00As for the pope...

It's a kind of faith but I wouldn't want to label it. <br /><br />I have watched the unfolding events with great interest especially after a lightning bolt struck the cross on top of St Peter's dome 2 hours after Benedict XVI resigned. <br /><br />Then I was struck by the presence of a seagull for about half an hour it seemed to me perched on the Sistine Chapel chimney before the white smoke. <br /><br />But when I saw the new Pope and saw his smile and heard his voice and discovered the name he had chosen for himself I thought to myself this is the right man and everything, including the seagull, fell into place. <br /><br />Interesting is a comment from the Austrian cardinal following the choice. Everybody is happy. Everybody around the Vatican is in a good mood and smiling even the cleaning ladies. <br /><br />I have a sense of a cloud being lifted.

I am ashamed that it is nearly 2 weeks since I posted. <br />I couldn't help thinking it is a shame that a younger man wasn't elected to be Pope - it must be such an arduous task for someone in his late 70s. The previous Pope was the same age and was hoping to retire when he was elected.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
