Trying to find out when the Zac's pieces were written I searched my blog. It gave me some dates but also a reminder of the writing I did way back when.
There was more of it, more diverse and in-depth, and lots more creative writing too. I've lost the sparkle. Even when I'm in writing group, which I lead, I struggle to come up with anything that seems good any longer. Makes me feel like a fraud. Must do better. Maybe I'll re-read some of my older pieces and seek inspiration.

After bible study, not this week but the week before, two people mentioned that I'd looked drained, lacking enthusiasm. It was an evening I'd found quite frustrating for a number of reasons but I hadn't realised my emotions were reflected in my face quite so obviously.
I began to say to Husband, "I'd better do a better job of hiding . . ." but then I thought, no, perhaps I shouldn't. That's just wearing a mask and we're encouraged to be honest. And speaking of being honest I was in a meeting with someone and really wanted to disagree with a couple of things, but nodded and said, "Okay." This person is a strong-minded, organised sort. Unlike me!

Lovely walk this morning with Daughter and Louie. My calves were aching when I got up, as anticipated after bouncing, and I hoped walking, especially up the side of a cliff, would loosen them. Hasn't so far!

Too much stress, strain, and activities over the past few trying months? Maybe it's time to take some serious "ME TIME" of inactivity and leisure-with-no-to-do-list to recharge your batteries and refill your well, not to mix metaphors.
Sometimes you just have to give in and rest, or have a break from the usual routine.
Quite possibly, but it's so hard saying no!
In the past we've had a holiday in the early part of the year but we haven't this year. Maybe that's what's missing.
