late again

I had thought that when I started this I would be just such an avid blogger. I have certainly found that that is not the case. I put most of my thoughts on paper in my morning journal. while typing the blog is fine, the actual putting pen to paper is somehow more intimate. I know there are people out there who do not agree with this. I had an email from one recently who said without question actual writing was NOT her thing. I have to admit that there were a couple in my groups and classes who felt the same, until they actually started doing it on a regular basis. I am quite committed to it. Every morning with my coffee, one will find me at the Dining room table scribbling away. Often I think there is no one on earth including myself who would be able to read it when it has become cold for two hours or more. But it has become the start to my day. I used to take my coffee and turn on the news and the weather. I find those boring now. Not that I don't want to know what is going on, it is just that the writing of my journal is so much more important to how I start my day. And lately, more and more, I am finding new ideas and new thoughts popping into my head as I write. So while I hope I can get into this practice called blogging, my morning coffee and my journal will have me keep on keeping on.

back at last

I cannot believe I took so long to get back to the blog. I am way overdue. There is little to excuse the fact. I put it on my list several times during the last few weeks and then proceeded not to do it. I want to commit to writing at least weekly and I am not sure why I did not. I did go through some bad health and some emotional issues but it was really no excuse.
The good news now is that the Prosperity by Design class is over and AW is winding down for the summer. This hopefully will allow me to spend more time in my garden and working on projects to nurture my inner artist. I truly miss that. BUT it will not happen this week. I am getting the house and grounds ready for guests. My son is coming in from Colorado and my brother is bringing his two sons for the wedding of my youngest on Saturday. I am setting an intention for good weather and good fun. I have never been to an outdoor/picnic wedding. And at least I didn't have to buy a Mother of the groom Dress! In spite of reservations, I wish them well.
And here is the sincerely wish that I don't put this off as long this time as I have. I was astounded when I looked at the last date. OH and before I forget. the Glow Project. It was interesting to note that it went over well in the Prosperity Class. But others I asked to participate sort of let it slip by. Those that have used it find that they seldom get past the first three on the list. Which is completely okay. It is where I find I work too. And it does help. I find it tremendously calming I do hope more will try it out. Til next time.
