Oh, to have a shower like this one.

Why does warm water all over our bodies feel so good

so comforting?

My workouts have hit a few snags latey

and I am not happy about it.

First of all I had some bad Chinese, and then I slipped on a stair

and twisted my instep...of all places

I missed one workout with Jose....the Chinese food

But I showed up with my gimpy foot..stair mishap

and did my workout yesterday....

 

today.....oh my...my foot is killing me

Sucks being older :)

But I am not a quitter...

 

Today I am doing some marathon reading

The People of the Book

Has anyone read it?

So far..not bad

I really feel more like reading a beach read

but since I need to rest my foot

I guess I better take advantage of the time on the couch

and finish my book club book.

 

I feel like blabbing today, so my post is going to be like an annoying

person sitting next to you on the train who won't shut up..

The California ones were supposed to come today, but they're sick

and won't be coming....blue me...I miss them so much

 

And yesterday my Clearing catalogue arrived

I immediately contacted my writing buddies

Want to go? To a writing workshop?

heck yes...

So in May we will be heading back to Door County

hip hip hooray

I love that place

But I confess....I have given up writing

dry as a bone and discouraged

It takes so much focus to write

and I have focused on other things

and I can't seen to do both.....

and rejection is a bitch that bites the ego

and my time has been taken up with others

...this is not a complaint....I am needed

but rather an acknowledgment

of what is

 

The other things that have taken up my time

are remodeling a bath at our new house in Galena

....and redoing a few things around here

So busy...I have not taken time to be

that time that suspends everything

and heals the aching body and soul

and heart

by emptying

My creative being is weighed down

and I can't seem to stir her

she is in exile...bitch

She is pity potting

licking her wounds

I have let her have her space, hoping she will get it out and wallow a bit

then..show up....nope, hasn't happened

Instead she has reached me and drawn me closer to her

and I find myself withdrawing even more from the creative spirit

except for making 33 valentines for April's party

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the bad news was, I missed the party because I had to meet with the contractor

in Galena....oh, that group is such a collective of creative spirits

Maybe getting ready to go to Door County

having to polish a few stories to submit for comment

may get my juices flowing again

..but then I ask myself..flowing toward what..

the ocean of every other disheartened writer

...ooo

time to slay a dragon

I think

 

....just listening to myself moan

is an eyeopener

yes,

a few dragons...

 

Okay, I understand if you have gotten up

and found a new seat on the train

.....
