It's been far to long since I have made use of my blog.
There are lots of reasons. Mainly because I had this skewed idea that I was to be writing a weekly report, an itinerary in reflection. Once I missed a week, the idea of updating on two weeks seems like a harder task. Then it snowballs, and months down the track, 'updating you' is just a little overwhelming. I don't know what happened in February! The point isn't for it to be another 'task' to cross of my endless to do list! So a new mindset, a new approach.
When I was in Adelaide for the Easter holidays I would sit with friends over coffee or a meal, never sans... and I would tell them about the concepts of life. I just made that phrase up, but what I mean is: the themes, the struggles that run through weeks, the tensions I am working through, not the things that are scheduled in at 10 AM daily - which is morning tea time FYI.
So I start today, and probably because I decided to become a 'spotifier' this week. That's just online music streaming, but as I sit here with music in the background, I feel better. I should listen to more music. Not so that I can tell someone what my favourite band is (I'm not that kind of music lover), but because it evokes emotion, it calms, it energises, it takes me away from the endless spiral of thoughts that consume my mind.
I'll share some of the concepts of life here with you from now on...x
