Just Write

                                                 Write even when the world is chaotic. You don't need a cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair, or inner peace to write. You just need ten minutes, and a writing implement.~Cory Doctorow

I love to write, that's no secret, but I truly find myself lacking in the time.  I have recently joined the online world of Pinterest, which is a huge time waster but still pretty enjoyable to browse.  I have found a few interesting quotes about writing that have really made me think about how important it is to me and that I need to make the time for it otherwise I tend to go a bit crazy.  I have always kept a diary of sorts, but haven't written in mine for probably close to two years.  I started this blog with the intent of throwing myself back into a writing routine but have managed to only write the occasional post.  Well - that is no longer going to be the case!  I'm going to start a diary again, maybe even start up story writing which was my favourite childhood pastime.  So, expect to hear a lot more from me as I share a lot more of my random musings and truly start to make more time to do the things that make me happy!

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
 
 
Just write.
 
 
Exactly how I feel...

These Days With You

These days with you are ever-changing.  Cuddling, playing, feeding, crying, stressing, laughing, growing.  We are both growing.  You have evolved before my very eyes.  You were a tiny, curled up newborn, permanently attached to me.  Those days with you were the hardest.  I was not myself.  These days with you are different.  You are a little boy, crawling and taking steps and growing taller and stronger by the minute.  I am grateful for every second of every day with you, even when it may seem like I am not.  These days with you are not perfect.  I expected perfection from myself, perfection from your Dad, perfection as a family.  Perfection may not exist - but love; well, we could not love you more if we tried.  These days with you are hard work.  I get tired and you get grumpy and I don't always make the right decisions.  I hold you tight and wipe your tears and pray ...

Happenings ~ 3rd October 2020

DOING: Finally making time to sit and write a blog post.  It's been a while.  It's been a long time since I've done a happenings post, too.  I have been doing more journaling than most other writing lately, I never seem to know where to start.  HEARING: Reid is watching "Kingdom", basically his dream fighting show (he does Kyokushin - full contact karate) on Netflix and I can hear that in the background.  I have been listening to some really great Podcasts lately too.  "The Deep" by Zoe Marshall is possibly my favourite of all time.  "Emsolation" by Em Rusciano is hilarious and wonderful.  I've also been listening to Hedley Thomas' new one, called "The Night Driver" which is good, but no "Teacher's Pet".  DRINKING: My answer to this question never changes haha.  My mornings are filled with coffee.  I drink mostly just water after that, occasionally herbal tea.  Sauvignon Blanc remains on regular rotation.  Now th...

More Joy.

I love writing.  I love it more and more all the time.  I wake up and think about it.  I think about it through the day.  I think about it at night.  I sit at work and feel grateful for my flexible job and the significant lowering of stress since my Employment Consultant days and yet, I am so restless.  It's getting worse.  I want to write a book, and yet I sit here to write a simple blog post and all words have flown from my mind.  I have never experienced writer's block like this before, where it seems to physically hurt  to write.  I have been through so much in the last few months, my brain feels like a big swamp full of really-hard-to-work-through mud.  But, I have to try.  I have to try to work through it all.  I am seeing my psychiatrist and my psychologist regularly, but I need to be doing more work on my own as well.  I can't seem to journal, I sit at the piano and freeze, I sit here and have typed more words...
