I fell off my writing block for a few days and haven’t shown up the Ultimate Blog Challenge. It’s hard to climb back on the saddle but I will give it an honest try. I’m having more luck keeping up with the Inktober Challenge. It’s a little easier to doodle something rather than write a post. There’s no thinking involve. I just doodle to a word prompt. I take just minutes. It’s not fine art. It’s not detailed. But it is fun and cathartic. I don’t have to lie on a couch. I don’t have to talk.

I have to admit I am undergoing some stress and I have a cold. So I am not feeling on top of the world. I am tired. I like to kick a few tires. But I just got this space and micron pens and my journal to sketch in. It’s probably the best. I won’t be hurting or offending anybody’s feelings. I’m causing less harm to myself and others. As you can see, I’ve changed the theme for my blog. I haven’t figured out how to edit to make it looking swell. All I know how is to change the colour and I can’t decide which is the best. So trying this for now.

I am feeling better already by deciding to climb back up, doing something, anything. Any action/decision is better than none. I feel worse by being static. Resting even if I do have a cold is not always the best solution. I feel just as tired if not more by resting. So I have to move around a bit, loosen up a few muscles/tensions, getting a few things done. I don’t mean to go hard at it, but gently and slowly. And rest a little by all means. Drink tea. Have a snack or two. Relax. Breathe. Let go.
