I guess I am taking comfort in this

journalling definitely is a comfort, and perhaps it's not the same for me as drawing a drawing

or painting a painting but I definitely have realized that coming here and producing some kind

of writing is a source of expression and peace and relief.

I'm not complaining but rather just sharing that I am finding that 'right here' is a place where I feel

an outlet and reassured and calmed.

today was well planned to begin with - and I knew what I wanted to do first thing in the morning...

starbucks and then home and then breakfast and then cleaning up - then shower - then errand.

but I suppose it's when I don't have a plan to do something I can eventually 'conk out' - aka 'mental offline' - and not know

what to do with myself (hey I've said that before!hah) 

I'm definitely seeing we all need an outlet activity.

At first I found that thinking about spirituality really helped me feel inspired again ..and

also it gave myself some space to breath....space enough to realize and

think about the sources of outlets we each have, is helping me feel reassured and inspired.

not so isolating.

I think that leap to finding what gives you peace when you don't have peace at times is

probably a really good thing to notice about myself/onself.. I think I'll go for a walk soon.

peace,

Mark
