This past week I've been creatively empty.. some call it a funk. I hope it passes quickly because I feel like a zombie right now. Most everyone I talk with is in the same state of mind, which doesn't help, but consoles oneself with the knowledge that "you are not alone". I guess I need a couple days of quiet mind because trying to think is making me worse!
I had a wonderful time kayaking with my friend at sunset yesterday. It took about half an hour to finally paddle straight and smoothly in the bay without giggling at our inability to perform such an easy task. Good upper body workout and we plan to do it at least twice a week for the beauty of the bay and the beautification of our upper arm swagger. It's a promise we hope to keep and make time for due to its importance!
Other than that, the ending of summer always depresses me with the act of life becoming ritualistic again... that dreaded time table of structured bedtimes and breakfast, nagging homework issues or even the scheduled cleaning days. Gosh it's boring, and I'll miss my freedom as I see it. I love the freedom of summertime when "the living is easy" as I've said before. So with all that said, this general takes command again, with heavy heart. Wish me luck!
Maybe once the schedule becomes 'normal' again, you'll feel better. I sure hope so!
ReplyDeleteBanish that arm jiggle!
RIGHT....
ReplyDeleterow row row your boat has a whole new meaning for me now.
If we start singing that while paddling I know we both ought to tip the kayak!
