What are you working on? That’s a question every artist hears and asks themselves a lot. My answer to that question for the last 10 months has been “everything but my art.” So much so that I have overworked myself to the point of illness. I have not had the flu for over 20 years and this past week, I have been under the weather, medicating per doctor’s order for flu-like symptoms. I am so annoyed with myself. I am supposed to be practicing balance. It used to be my way of life and now I am fighting to get back there. True, I have lost a lot this year and the pressure has sent me into a work-away-the-pain-mode but it doesn’t work away the pain, not really, you’re just tired.
What am I working on? Me writing…writing something every day because writing is the best thing I’ve found for pain. I can’t believe I forgot that… even for a moment.
Balance the art…
Dear Robin,
May Spring, and it’s coming, help you feel better.
I hope you feel better soon, Robin! Sounds like a good time to get back to the basics of self-care. Glad you’re back to writing and remembering it’s healing power. <3
Hi Robin, it is ok to lose the balance as long as you remember get back into balance. Reminds of a quote inscripted in a Japanese tea set: if you fail 7 times try 8 times.
Get lots of rest and feel better soon. Bisous.
Sorry you’ve been under the weather! Thanks for the reminder about balance… and hope the writing is healing for you 🙂
“Always be Writing…”, Robin. Please get better soon. Love and miss you.
