writing and writing, trying to lay down words on the pages of my journal to understand what is going on in my mind. somedays this process is easy, others not so much. i feel disconnected from my true-self, there are so many things going on, not only in my small world but in the big world, things that directly or indirectly affect us all.
this time of the year is wonderful, but it’s a little scary too. the winter is coming, months and months of grey skies and snow, lots of time indoors. if we are not careful the winter blues can take over.
i want to focus on what matters right now. i don’t want to fit and please others, i want to be true to myself, to be strong and let go of what/who doesn’t bring me joy, so i’m ready for the long winter.
happy sunday to you!

I find the winter time indoors helps me tidy up things that need to be done. A great sense of accomplishment for me. You are first and foremost. Take care of you, Elizabeth.

thanks dear, i know, but sometimes it’s easy to blend and to be invisible in the middle of everyone else.

Happy Sunday to you too! I write all the time and it helps me to understand and to purge anything that I need to get off my chest but don’t necessarily want to tell someone else because I’m not sure how it would be taken.
