Balance is important in life. I know this but like most people I struggle with finding the time to do all the things that are important. Like a teeter totter, balance is difficult to maintain.
It was a good day yesterday stepping out of writing mode and hanging with friends to do a double feature of movies and dinner. I got a bit of everything yesterday. I ran errands, worked on writing production, had fun with friends, and talked to my girls.
Last night while Ken watched football, I opened up a file of a story I’m trying to get finished. I have two books done and am part way through the third. The intention is to finish the story in the third book. With all the tasks on these books, I get lost in the work and don’t make time to write. Since I seem to be in a writing mood, I’ve started reading this series again to get back to telling the story.
I also took time out of writing mode to talk to my girls. I video chatted with two of them and talked on the phone with the third one.
In my head, I know where I’m going but I just need to get it down on paper. To do that I need to be less concerned with editing the second book and more concerned with finishing the third one.
Ken is working around the house today. I’m going to work on the production of the next poetry book. When I’m tired of that (or get stuck or my legs hurt too much) I”m going to switch to the recliner and either watch tv and crochet or work on the story. I’ll see how the mood goes.
I’m trying to incorporate a little of what is needed in all aspects of my life. Yesterday was a good day for balance. I know that balance is a momentary thing. With all that was scheduled, I managed to have some balance. Who knows what today will bring.
The full moon is tonight and for the next three nights. I’ll be trying to maintain some balance during this time. I’ll also be thinking of what I need to let go of with the waning moon. The waning moon decreases a little each night until the dark moon. My question will be – what do I need to let go of by small (or large) increments during the harvest time? I’m not sure I have an answer but as normally happens, I’m sure something will present itself.
