Holidays

I’m going to focus on the delight in my granddaughter’s eyes. She says “wow” every time I show her a Christmas decoration that I’ve had since her mother was a little girl. I’m going to focus on being grateful for my children’s health and my own, which I know is a gift. I’m going to focus on my ability to make a cozy home and invite others into it to feel at home. I’m going to focus on doing what I can to make our world kinder and more compassionate. On some days that’s really hard. I have to dig down really deep and remind myself not to jump into the fray just to prove a point, but I know it’s important to stay my course and rise above the noise. Regardless of how someone else might treat me on social media or in person, I always try to remind myself that their anger and their stuff is about them, not me.

Borrowed

People don’t belong to us. They aren’t our possessions. If they were, we’d have control of how and when they come and go. I believe that everyone, from strangers to our loved ones, are spiritual beings that we are allowed to share space and time with. All we get to choose is how and how well we occupy that space and time.

When you think about it, nothing in this life belongs to us. We’re simply borrowing it all. Our time, our bodies, our relationships, our homes. Everything is borrowed and we should treat it all as if it has to be returned in mint condition and express gratitude for each experience. – .Careen Hamilton

How to overcome Writer’s Block

  • Reinvent your writing space: this is a way to remind yourself what’s important
  • Listen to music: take in a different flow of words
  • Deleve into history: choose something related to the topic you’re floundering with
  • Go people-watching: observe everything from their body language to their speech patterns.
  • Pick up vintage treasures: think about where it’s been and what its story is.
  • Go for a walk at night: a blanket of starlight always provides a different perspective.
