I feel like I haven’t had much to write about the past few months. I’ve had good runs, as well as fits and starts, over the past couple of years, but I had been in an especially dry spell since my last post on January 11th.
I haven’t felt like saying much lately. I was afraid all I would do is complain about the state of the world, repeat stories I’ve already told, or dump some pretty bland words on the page just so I could see that day on the calendar go from white to blue. Yet, here we are on the very first day of March, the beginning of the Slice of Life Challenge, and I’m in.
I’m up for heightening my awareness of my surroundings so I have something to write about. What birds are hanging around the pond? What thoughts linger in my mind after the students leave my room? Which flowers are starting to push their way through the soil?
The same words of advice I hear when I begin a yoga session aptly apply to sitting down to write my daily post: set your intention. So, what’s my intention? My intention is to let my words lead me out of this funk I’ve fallen into. Examine, reflect, speak. It can only help, right?
