Close the door. Write
with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other
people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and
only thing you have to offer. [Barbara Kingsolver]
I’ve been enJOYing myself, wandering through quotes from my
favourite writers. Writers write. That’s what makes any of us “writers” I
think. And when we compare ourselves to others or think someone else’s “win” is
our “loss,” that only makes us crazy[ier].
I never think I have anyone looking over my shoulder as I
write, yet I always feel the warm eyes and hearts of those who read whatever I
DO write. This helps tremendously.
Also, I just let things dance out my fingers. I am the typist.
I put the words down, here, on the screen, and then they are no longer “mine”
but what I have to give Today.
I’ve printed out all the Gratitude I’ve written since 1 January
2014. It is a large stack of paper, NOT in the least bit “green” of me. It
makes me smile, this stack of papers. It reminds me that all I have is this one
moment.
I write what I’m thinkingandfeeling and that’s all I have.
And all I have to give, Right Now.
I love you, Currie

A wonderful thing to hold a year's worth of gratitude right there in your hands!! :)
Printing your post is a wonderful idea! Holding your words and art in your own hands instead of a screen can be so fulfilling. It's so much more personal and real ♥ Sending you STRENGTH & LOVE ♥
