Let's face it, we all need
a rest some times, especially from the crummy stuff.
I have been working very
hard, at both of my paid jobs and on my personal growth. It
has been longer than a month since I gave myself permission to DO
nothing. To take a day off for real. Yesterday was an attempt
at that day off. But I ended up cooking and doing housework (and
thinking way too much) all day instead.
I woke this morning with a
sense of urgency. Already abuzz with my wheels spinning, I felt
compelled to get right up and make something I forgot to make
yesterday. Talk about fixated!
Drive like that doesn't
feel good.
Ommmm Mooooooo
And here I am, typing away
on my true day off, writing this darned post about respite,
when I need one so badly. This is my 5th attempt at
writing the “R” post. None of them read how I intended
them to read. My venture to guess is because I'm feeling a wee bit
fried by this challenge.
What I learned through
accepting the A to Z challenge:
~I am
already a dedicated writer, whether or not I write daily, at a
certain time, or share it or not- there is no contention about my
love for writing.
~I must stop this insanity
with following rules. It's not my style and when I adhere to these
unrealistic “guidelines” I end up frustrated. I am not a linear
person. Point taken.
I need a respite from any
opinions and judgements.
I need a respite from
anxiety and over-exertion.
I need a respite from
others' icky moods and fears.
Respite
for today:
A healthy brunch followed by a bubble bath!
