I knew the answer before she raised her eyebrows. “Where are you not nurturing yourself?” It was one of those healing sessions. I immediately thought of my creative writing. I could see my stats. I have not published a blog since March. So, I have not wandered down to my local cafe, to sit, sip a mocha and just type away on my blog and press Publish … since March.
Today, I am sitting in an outdoor cafe with the Sun on my back. I left my phone/camera at home so do not have the luxury of just taking a photo to share with you. I am looking out towards a garden that has pink camelias in bloom, deciduous trees that filter in the Autumn sun and a lady sitting nearby reading from a hardcover book. There are leaves rustling their golden sounds and flipping through the air for their last hurrah. I can hear crows in the distance reciting their mantras.
“But I do take care of myself.” Came the feeble reply. And then I thought of my blog. I have spent a lot of time writing, but not my creative writing; not blogging. It’s with my blogging I experience synchronicity; something I have not had great bursts of recently. So I hereby make myself accountable to blog regularly and I’m plucking Tuesdays out of the air. I will write daily and blog regularly on Tuesdays.
I think we are all getting better at taking care of ourselves and trying not to be so negative. However, Where are you not loving your Self?
Every Tuesday, eh. I’m impressed. Would love it to rub off on me.
Did I say every Tuesday? That’s the problem with blogging … leaves you no time to dwell
I’m eating badly. Very badly. Wheat & yeast & wine. I know it makes me sick. I tend to do this when I’m feeling out of control or in chaos- now I have to work out where.
I hear you and I hear there’s a great gluten free bakery in Merrylands … organic wine is good, very good x
Wonderful Dianne! I am looking forward to all those Tuesday posts. X
Haha Michele, Somehow I think I lost the meaning of the title … what was I thinking every Tuesday? Where’s the love in that? My “accountability” would have been lost in Twitterland …
Your description here of your coffee-shop surroundings is my idea of the PERFECT place and way to spend time! My absolute favorite! When the wind is howling or the mosquitoes droning, I will remember the vision of this post!!! Blessings!
Thank you for recognising the beauty of my surroundings! Yes, it is a perfect place.
