I have opened a new post so many times the past couple of days.
My words feel forced, and empty.
Writer’s block? Or toomanythoughtstoorganizeblock? I’m not sure.
But I’m still here.
Watching the trees become alive with vibrant green leaves.
In awe of the flowers blossoming into bright shades of pink, red, purple, orange, yellow.
Spending time with my husband, whose 34th birthday is readily approaching.
Watching the first 5 seasons of “Army Wives”… in under a month.
Aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day – and doing just that more often than not.
Getting ice cream from our favorite spot that finally opened back up for the season.
Taking lots and lots of pictures, hoping to slow down life a little bit and enjoy every moment.
Dreaming of the future. Because it is now clear, one way or another, come November we will be living in North Carolina.
Taking in every Maine moment I can, because with excitement comes, I’m gonna miss this. And I am.
Writing, because words are my chosen way of expression. My relief.
Reading. Twilight (to be able to converse with some of my teenage girls), and also – your words.
And pouring my heart out. Because it’s Wednesday, and that’s what we do.
Your turn. What have you been doing?
I think sometimes we just feel blah and have to go with it Jenn. I’ve been feeling a bit of that myself so I tend to do busy work…. I’ve been picking weeds in my garden and painting my vintage chairs. But mostly I’ve been focusing on trying to take better care of my body by eating better…. already lost 9 lbs….
That ice cream sounds pretty good 🙂

I’ve been working, planing for summer, and dealing with the heat! Though- you’ll love NC! 🙂

I’ve been moving! Oh, the chaos!
But I hear you on the writer’s block (and I double hear ya on the toomanythoughtstoorganize block). Sometimes, the words just flow and other times, they don’t. When they don’t, I try to trust in the cycle and have faith that they’ll flow again soon. They usually do.
Glad to hear you are slowing down and just enjoying. That, above all else, is important.

Moving always is a bitter sweet thing and yes when it is almost getting time to go then you can’t help but notice a lot of the good things you may have missed before. I am trying to just really enjoy this summer with my kids- trying to do at least one fun or different or special thing everyday as yes it goes so fast.
Sometimes it’s hard to find the words, isn’t it? Love Army Wives and Twilight 🙂 I’ve been camping, and reading (just finished all the Harry Potter books), and working, and being with my boys. It’s chaotic, and exhausting, and I love it.

It seems like you knew exactly what to say.
Stopping by from SITS.

Sounds like you’re doing the right thing for the right reason. And that’s good enough really.
I hate having weeks where you open a new post… start writing, just to write *something* and you just… can’t. It will get better. Just the fact that you posted something is a very positive step!
Can’t wait to say, “Welcome!” Forgive me if I’m wearing a hat and scarf and you think its warm out 😉

I can definitely relate! I loved your reference to “toomanythoughtstoorganizeblock.” Perfect way to describe that feeling! And congrats on having your blog featured on SITS!

I think we (writers) all go through days where there just seems to be nothing to say/write….but that’s okay! From what I just read it sounds like you have your priorities right..taking in all the small things and enjoying every minute (I wish that I could remind myself to do that more often). Thank you for the reminder!! Happy SITS day to you!
