a weekend in november...

November 12, 2022 Arlene Giddings

i love weekends.

i am trying to get outside more…
and to keep getting outside
once the weather changes.

this weekend has been rainy
but mild.
the colors are still vivid,
with flowers still blooming
and fields still green…
it’s odd for November
but I have been taking advantage of the temps
to get outside.

yesterday was a trail
through the woods,
today i did the boardwalk and watched
the fog roll in off the water…
my only company
the thoughts in my head…
i like that because it gives me
time to think about what i might
like to do creatively…
i jot ideas onto my notes app
on my phone as i walk
and come home
fresh faced
and inspired.

i feel like i have been
full of ideas lately
and there is a small chance
i may be putting too much
on my plate
once again….
but at the moment
it’s all just exciting
and fun and promising.

Happy weekend! :)

sometimes you just do what you gotta do....

June 17, 2021 Arlene Giddings

Something has been a little off
with me lately…
and I kept waiting for it to pass
but it’s not.

I feel
a little
loose around the edges,
lost…frayed…
blurry and out of focus.

I am not making to do lists,
I am not getting anything done….
but I am definitely
watching too much tv…
this does not make me happy.

At the end of the work day,
I seem to be struggling
with what to do next…
decisions are always hard for me.
But lately, I feel like I am just
flittering around
never landing on anything
for any amount of time
until I sit down to watch a show….
and that happens too fast and
too frequently.

So.
I made myself a
Jar of Inspiration.
Now, when the work day ends,
if I don’t have a definite plan,
I will pull something from the jar
and do that…
and see where it goes…

The list includes things like:
draw
read
yoga
meditate
dance party
color
make a card
try origami
watercolors
edit
online course
vacuum
random toy photo session
go for a walk
bubble bath
blog

AND
no turning the TV on before
8 PM…

I’m kinda excited about this.
:)
