My lack of inspiration is nothing new. I have seen that desire to write wane at times before. I don't think that's unusual. I really appreciate people who can write every day, either in a daily blog or as part of their job. Because its not easy.
As far as my moratorium from social network, that was more of a personal decision. Social interactions via the internet have made a move back to negativity over the past couple of weeks. I will leave that up to you to figure out why, but one thing I have learned since my diagnosis is that the energy to be constantly critical and cynical is wasted energy. It spirals upon itself whirlpooling you into a feeling of doom and despair. I didn't want to be dragged into that whirlpool.
When I did find myself getting frustrated by something I saw on Facebook or heard in the news I made the choice to remove myself from it by turning it off.
What is realized this week is we all need to find a happy place, free from stress and distractions. A place where there is no judgments. A place we can go when we just need to remove ourselves from the world and concentrate on ourselves, just being present in our own minds.
That may be an escape to nature. Go to the quiet of the forest or the top of a mountain. Maybe go to the beach and listen to the waves.
Maybe that place is closer to home. Find a quiet place in your own home to listen to music or read.
Maybe it is not a place but its more of an activity. Go for a walk. Cook something.
Last night I realized my happy place. It's unfortunate it took me 53 years, but I love to sit in the quiet of the Church. It is just a place to sit and concentrate on my own thoughts. I find that I can both feel alone but not companionless at the same time. The people there are welcoming and I find myself wanting to become more involved with the activities in the church.
So, go find your happy place where you can go and be apart from the world. It will help you pull out of the whirlpool of negativity.
