Day 13 and 14: Weekend!

This weekend was another one of those calm ones. I tried to listen to my body as best as I could. It didn’t always work out. (Stayed up too late…) But the household chores that needed to be done, got done, so that is good.

I’ve also managed to listen to a few interviews and art activities of the Life Book summit.
Took a few notes, have some ideas milling around in my head, but nothing has come to fruition yet.
Simple art, is what I’m thinking about. Just something to get my fingers wet so to speak. Nothing too elaborate. No tens of thousands of layers. Something simple. Some watercolor, a sketch or a drawing or doodle, some words.
That kind of art is speaking to me right now. (But I haven’t done it yet of course.)

For now, I’m going to take some notes on the summit, do my household work, go to my appointments, go to the creative center. Still doing the back to basics.

About the angry rant I had a few days ago: I now just realized where it came from: I had watched the news, and someone was calling a woman out that had accused someone with a high position of sexual assault. And the way that person was talking, it just got to me. The whole news program got to me. All the negativity in the world… I think I got overwhelmed by it.
I had made a promise to myself not to watch the news anymore, but at some point, the news had started on the tv and it was like a train wreck: horrible to see, but you can’t look away.
This means: no more news for me. (I knew that already, but apparently I had to be reminded of it.)

My father told me the weather is going to warm up a bit next week, during the day at least. I’m looking forward to some sun, and maybe take some pictures of the garden while I’m at the creative center. And take some time, to just sit by the big tree, grounding. (That’s actually a very nice idea, do it Mieke!)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I will talk to you tomorrow
