Contemplating Life and Living
I had a feeling when 2009 started that this would be a year of change for me and my husband. Call it instinct. Call it intuition. Either way, things are looking just like I thought they would.
Within the next couple of months, my husband and I hope to move. We also hope that he gets a new job (or better conditions in his current one). After the house and job are settled (and my health is settled, too), we hope to start trying for a baby…
Before I moved to Australia, there was a period of about six months where I was in a very bad place. I felt like I was alive, but frozen. I felt like I was just barely cruising around and not actually living my life.
After I moved to Australia, everything changed.
With everything happening, especially now, I finally feel like I’m living my life to the fullest. I have my wonderful husband, soon we’ll have a house, a baby (hopefully) and a dog… We’ll be living my idea of an ideal life.
I can say with all confidence that I am truly living my life now more than I have ever lived in the past.
Define life. Is there a difference between life and living? Can someone be alive but not living?Are you ‘living’ your life or just alive?
Remember, to help clear your mind before you start writing, take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sound of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Let the noises and worries of the day fade for a few moments while you focus only on breathing.
After you are calm, think about your experiences and start writing.
Wishing you heaps of creativity, a generous muse and heaps of time to write. Feel free to check in here with your progress for the day/week/month/etc.
