A Week Off

I took last week away from the blog. Did a lot of writing, but found I had little to say. I think every now and then it's important to just NOT. Not write, not think, not pay attention to the outside world.

It's not a "depression" thing, but more a "self-care" thing. I think we underestimate the need for self-care. Self-care doesn't mean I want to go off and do yoga or meditate or sit quietly on the beach taking in nature. Those are all fine, but sometimes it's just watching crap on YouTube and checking out Facebook (or whatever your social media choice happens to be). So, I spent the week writing and watching documentaries and cat videos and that's okay. Do what works for you.

And as for sitting on the beach? Where I live it's been pouring rain so that's not a really viable, or pleasant, option.
