Lost in blue waters
I look for you
the lightness of being
the smile
the hair in disarray
I only find
emptiness and confusion
My hope is spring will be here soon
and the winter blues will fade away

Knowledge
Smart, confident
Writing, reading, speaking

Colleen’s challenge this week is ‘experience and new‘, we need to use synonyms for these words.
I think I’m addicted to the Cinquain form of poetry! 🙂
Frozen River
Cee’s B&W photo challenge this week is WATER. I love to walk by this river in all the seasons. In the winter we can listen to the water moving under the ice, it’s very relaxing, of course, if you are warm enough with layers and layers of clothes 🙂 .

“Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction
you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort. “
Deborah Day
It’s cold around here, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work this week. This means I can be cozy indoors without the hush to go out early morning.
Few things I’m doing to nourish myself this week:
- Sleeping and sleeping
- Lots of art journal pages
- Eating warm and health food
- Going out in the afternoon to take photos, it’s cold but it’s pretty out there
- Knitting a scarf for myself
- Reading and writing
- Drinking lots of tea
- Watching movies with hubby and kids in the evenings
And you? how are you nourishing yourself this week?
Happy New Year!

Cee’s B&W- Half Circles
This time of the year the sun shines directly into my living room. I love to sit in there with a cup of tea and watch the light dancing on the walls.

There is time for everything,
The snow is thick now
The earth is dark
But
Tomorrow the sun will rise
A new day
New possibilities
The snow will thaw
So your hardened heart
You will see everything
Bright and light
Nurturing Thursday # 12
“Stop focusing on how stressed you are,
and remember how blessed you are. ”
Unknown
This week could have been a crazy one. Too many things to do, here are few of them:
- gifts wrapping
- two potluck lunches (this means, hours cooking)
- doctor appointment for one of the kids
- hairdressing appointment for me
- Pick up packages at the post office
I was getting stressed before the week started, how could I have time to do everything that needs to be done and still be a full day in the office?
Monday morning I made a list of all the chores for this week. At the end of the list, I wrote:
” You control your rhythm, nothing can steal your inner peace without your permission.”
I’m taking easy, step by step, and more than 1/2 of the list is already checked. The best thing to do, when the stress starts to take over, is to slow down and do something unrelated to the stressed situation. This week I’m having lots of ‘me time’: journaling, reading, watching the snow or simply stopping and admiring the lights around me. Everything is ok!
Happy Solstice to you!
