It’s July 22 and day 22 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. We are still sizzling in our heat wave. For the last couple of days, we are also enveloped in smoke from forest fires. The smoke have completely blocked out the sun but not the heat. My world has an eery feeling as if we’re on the very abyss of destruction.
It hasn’t been a good environment for me to thrive and be creative. My energy and desires have also sizzled and turned into ashes in this climate. I’ve been a no show here and in the Daisy Yellow Index Card a Day Challenge. I think sometimes it’s good not to fight so hard. It’s ok to let go a little and just be. Perhaps I’m justifying my brain’s laziness and my physical inertia. But it’s a healthy justification. We need rest for body and mind.
Now that I’ve found these few words here, I hope I can work through my malaise and make a little card also. There’s cooler weather on Friday to look forward to.

I can completely relate to how you’re feeling. The combination of heat and smoke sounds incredibly draining, both physically and mentally. It’s completely understandable that your creativity and energy would be impacted by such harsh conditions.
Sometimes, it’s important to recognize when it’s time to take a step back and give yourself permission to rest. Your words are a powerful reminder that it’s okay to let go and just be. I’m glad to hear there’s some cooler weather on the horizon—hopefully, it brings you the refreshment and inspiration you need. Hang in there!
You just need to do what you can and everything will be waiting for you. This heat is no good for anyone. I’ve been trying to work through it also but yesterday was my breaking point. I need cool weather!
I am right there with you, I hit this point last week. Now the weather has cooled here in Chicago, and I got my kick start. Here’s to a sudden flash of inspiration!
