Last week, I mentioned that I have been suffering from a slight case of good ole fashioned Writer’s Block. No, I am not an official writer, but I do gain a sense of pleasure from keeping up with this blog, and I believe in my heart of hearts that there is nothing more inspiring or creative than putting pen to paper. Maybe it’s the creative soul in me, but try as I might over the last few weeks I have had to simply sit and wait on the inspiration to find ME and it has been so frustrating.
In hopes of speeding up the process, I tried to disconnect from all modern technology by putting down the phone, visiting my computer only on a limited basis and NO TEXT or E-MAILS.
And just when I thought my waiting, which is not one of my best qualities, was all for nothing, THIS happened. I was visiting with a friend and ran across this adorable little book screaming at me from the shelf. To be honest, at first I thought it was a novel, and I really didn’t care what the novel was about…I WANTED the book and was ready to run out and make the purchase simply because I LOVED THE COVER. I am well aware of the golden rule that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but this time I was guilty…my judgment was made and whatever was printed inside the covers of this one just didn’t matter….I WANTED to own it and display it ONLY because of the beautiful cover.
Low and Behold, when I finally stood still the inspiration came…you see, this little book is a 5-year journal with daily prompts. Daily inspiration has visited and even though I wish I had found this journal several years ago…how much fun will it be to glance back at my answers after a couple of years have gone by…I am ready to make the time every day to put my words on the pages.
PAPER AND PEN PLEASE DON’T EVER GO AWAY…there is nothing more romantic or inspiring.
ENJOY!!!
Awe, your neighbors are adorable! Would LOVE to have neighbors like them.
