until you get the whole energy thing it is ordinary, and then it can never be ordinary again - except when i get retraumaatised and am not well again i am always excited about life and what it truly is - an amazing opportunity each day to look forwards to- THe past belongs to someone i used to be byt the present is amazing, new, fresh and bright, full of possibilities - dwelling in the past can be bad for one unless you are celebrating it through your writing
can i meet your mum someday ??? xxxxxxxx - justa teensy weensy bit jealous about her
It's a tricky line to walk, isn't it? Enjoying the present but writing about the past... I like how you say, "celebrating [the past] through your writing." ❤
I love that you're so full of joy about your present, Sylvia!
I definitely got lucky with my mom! I'll have to see if I can convince her to come visit Europe again sometime soon! Perhaps a trip to England.... 🥰
yes do invite her - next trip - possibly- anyway yes it can be gruelling to get back into the past story to write it - I've had that too, but i still look at it from a point of how far I've come from that time. write about it but live fully in the present and look forwards to the future - always xxxx
I think you‘re so right about the energy thing; when the ideas are flowing and the mood is right, the writing flows, it feels like the best thing to stay with it, sustain that quality, craft the words in that plane, live in that other world, bathe in the magic, stay right there forever (until the Work is done).
Thanks for your comment, Ronald. I'm glad you shared this. I thought about adding more to this piece about the pain that we often need to relive, but I didn't want to get too far off track.

I love the way you phrased that, Francesca. ❤️
As I age, I ask myself daily “ how do I want to spend my precious energy today?” It’s a limited resource.
YES! ❤
Well done! I too try to sink back into that gone moment, forget the future and relive the pain along with the pleasure.

Love this one! I feel it!
Aww thank you, Nina! ❤
