This idea actually came to me in a dream. And if you knew me well, you’d know that I sometimes get life changing ideas in my dreams. Turn your life upside down ideas. This one is maybe not that big, but it was a fun entertaining activity for a few mornings in a row. The idea is this: just write and don’t think. No big pre-planning and no mid-writing editing. It is similar to journaling, but it’s more of a shorthand expression of your thoughts without explanation. By writing this way you can release some emotions and bring some playfulness into your day. Just write with ease, like take your bra off at the end of the day kind of ease. It doesn’t matter, no one is watching. Ha, except for me in this case because I’m going to share examples of what came out of me this week.
Dishes:
Dishes after dinner
Dishes after baking
Dishes all the day through
I could do without you
I’m a fan of meals, solo, household, and family gatherings
But not of the cleanup or mess
I love baking and cooking
But oh what a mess here too
I even love the actual plates and pans and bowls
I bought you all out of love and appreciation
I use you with that in my heart too
But when it comes to getting you clean
I wish it didn’t have to be me
All my hats:
Not the ones I buy for hiking or sun protection
But the ones I wear as a woman
Chef, shopper, dog walker, yard support, therapist, daughter, friend, wife
I love you each individually
But when you stack up around the house
I’m filled with overwhelm
Or when there are more than 2 or 3 on my head
It’s just too much to wear
Your turn!?!
