I have been thinking so much… and at the same time… writing far less than is the norm for me. I have too many partially completed projects that are pulling me in different directions. There is just so much rattling around in my head and I can’t seem to find the time – or energy – or focus – or will to stick it to the paper.
And then there is reading; I cannot really seem to focus on reading lately either. I am usually a voracious reader, but my mind is spinning and I can’t seem to settle and quiet myself for long enough to take in the text.
I want to move ahead with some amazing projects and support H in developing his advocacy skills. I want to write more about limit setting, and welcoming dissent, and the importance of honouring the individual in interventions, and independence, and so many other important things…
I have lots of ideas swirling about, and almost 200 partially completed yet unpublished posts.
And I am busy…
But I am always busy…
My noisy brain is telling me I need some time…
So I am going to take the hint and realize that what I need to be thinking about is where the limits are for myself. Perhaps my brain is voicing its dissent, and I may need to slightly change or adjust my colours. I need to step back just a wee bit and reconnect with the people and activities that fuel the heart of me.
So the plan is that H and Craig and I are just going to hang out and watch Doctor Who.
And maybe, if it stops raining in the next few days and we are feeling ambitious, we will rake up some of those leaves that have strewn themselves about our yard in autumn’s confetti style… or maybe not…
There also might be chocolate ice cream involved… and popcorn.
Gotta run… H wants me to see that he has built the TARDIS in Minecraft…
Awesome!
