Here I sit on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in September.
Another day going by that I haven't written anything because I have so many things to write about I get overwhelmed, so I decided to start a daily blog to have a place to put anything and everything about daily life. I was inspired by my friend Linda Dee's blog, Life in Pieces, so here it is as….another day goes by.
The tide is going out, the beach is empty, and today so am I. No particular reason – just empty. Some people see this as a sad thing, but sometimes empty is good. Sometimes we need to get purged of all that has been consuming us for a time. Kind of a fall or spring cleaning of our mind to get us ready for what the next season has in store. An empty, lonely day spent with oneself is an unexpected gift, even if a storm is raging in our life right now.
Storms are good too – for the clearing out of old ideas and outdated opinions. Storms also have another good side – they always pass. The way to treat a storm is to wrap up in a blanket and weather it. When the sun finally does come out again, you end up with new strength, new ideas and a new direction to walk until that next empty and/or stormy day. So…another day goes by….and I HAVE written! Yaaay!
