the truth is
we have hit that time of the year
when the
sun fades to darkness
as i hit the end of my workday
and i find that hard…

part of me just wants
blankets and pjs,
books and hot chocolate
or a netflix series i can lose
myself in for hours.

but i have been reviving the
inspiration jar
this last couple of days
(ok…truthfully, just since yesterday)
but honestly,
IT IS SO FUN.

i had kinda forgotten what i
put in there for ideas
so it’s been fun to pull one out
and see how i am going to spend
my time.
i have decided that whatever comes out,
i will spend at least half an hour on
unless i get inspired by it
and then it can be without time limits.

tonight’s was read blogs for inspiration
which then lead to a new blog post
so yay! ♥

(but i can’t lie…
at some point tonight,
there WILL be pjs, blankets & hot chocolate…
that’s a given.)

but on that note…
what have you been reading/watching/listening to
in the early dark hours of evenings?
i need inspiration.
:)

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.
