Over the last week ( or so), I have stared at this blank page on my computer,
trying to "will" a story out of my head, and onto my blog page.
The responsibilities of life have got me down -
the right side of my brain, plagued with the inability to produce creative thought.
Instead, my head - swarming with thoughts, concerns, worries.
Not just those of my own, but ( it seems ) everyone else's.
Such is the burden of being a mom -
absorbing the stresses of everyone around us, stockpiling it onto our own,
until the weight becomes too much to bare.
That's when our coping mechanisms kick in.
Like . . . . .
a good cry, or . . . . . . chocolate.
This morning, I had both.
That reminds me to add something to my "responsibility list" :
trying to "will" a story out of my head, and onto my blog page.
Nothing.

the right side of my brain, plagued with the inability to produce creative thought.
Still . . . . . . nothing.
Not just those of my own, but ( it seems ) everyone else's.

BUY MORE CHOCOLATE.
AMEN! I also just heard a report that dark chocolate has the same effect on muscles as exercise.
ReplyDeleteI heard that, too! : )
