I thought it was going to be a gung-ho, high energy, fast-paced week 3. But what do I find myself doing on my artist's date?....Hunting round antique and junk stores for vintage quilts and lace pillow cases....
Last week I bought two duck and goose pillows for my bed....now a beautiful vintage quilt is mine! While my intention was to write my book, my inner artist is quietly building me a nest, with lots of feathers.
My son Charlie has a sleepover tonight, I've been invited out but all I want to do is retire to my nest with my portable DVD player, the box set of the Sopranos and a large mug of tea.
Is it just me? Is anyone else retreating? Is your inner artist doing their own thing this week?
I've just read your post Suzy and can't believe it because I've just spend the day lounging on the sofa in front of the fire, reading!! - on a Saturday! - I NEVER EVER do that. I just had this strong urge to nuture myself and decided to go with it.Fantastic!!

I've been curled up reading this week too....and, although not very relaxing, we've just suddenly decided to move bedrooms. We had an extension done a while ago, and spent today moving up our bed to the new room. I'm very excited!

Week 3 was all about anger for me, though it didn't always turn up at morning pages time. Fierce anger about my ex, about my (ex) job, my ex-life. Real fury about the turns of events last year and the way so many people let me down in such a big way.
But this anger means I'm alive. It's first time I've felt really alive since dropping into a deep deep depression in November. So I'm taking it as a very good sign.

No such stuff for me...I spent week 3 with my nephew who is what is termed 'Special Needs' .....well he is probably the only person I know who truly lives in the "Now"...so no curling up with books....no nurturing....no Me time....But what a refreshing week with no thoughts about how 'bad' 'wrong' 'not focused' my life is......When I observe how he approaches life it really does put all of this into perspective.....
