The number of people who have been a lifeline for me in these past months has been really overwhelming. I give myself a little credit for having the courage to reach out to people who I don't normally reach out to (old friends I had lost contact with, new friends, etc.). It has helped me not to feel a burden on any one person. But I give most of the credit to the people on the other side willing to answer my messages and calls.
This morning I was really stuck. I'm sure you saw my other post. So I reached out via Facebook Messenger to an old friend and colleague. She was just what I needed. She empathized with me and then gave me a little push with something practical I could do. So after chatting with her, I dug for a nice notebook and some writing utensils and a favorite blanket and headed out to the park. At the park I found a nice shady spot under a tree to spread out my blanket.
After I got settled, my sister texted me and so we chatted a bit. And then I tried to write some poetry. It's not my best work. I just wrote about the ants. But I wrote. And I soaked in the breeze and the vibe. And before I knew it 2.5 hours had flown by so I packed up and headed home where I cooked myself a really good meal from the veggies I had picked up at the farmers market.
