Doldrums

I’ve been called into work on my day off to read a proposal for a new contract and it’s not ready to read. So in the meantime, I’ve been perusing some books that have been on my shelf at work forever. One is on public speaking, one on career decisions, one called “ Stop Postponing the Rest of Your Life.”, another, “ Writing Your Life” I’ve been challenging my life skills group to set goals, make steps, identify barriers, break them down… I happened to mention a few of my own dreams. Acting, Writing. I want to incorporate these things into my daily life, moving towards actualizing these things that I say are so important to me. I’ve been talking for years about this. I’m tired of talking. I’m tired of writing about how I wish I could write.

I’ve come off a very busy month of travelling, celebrating and completing a project. I think that I’m in the post activity doldrums. I need some wind in my sails.
In the past, a bout like this was overcome by connecting with someone, or being a catalyst, or by communicating a new idea, or regular physical exercise, or starting something new, or having some time to myself.

I started running again and I’m loving it. I went and picked cherries at the Yale house this morning with a good friend. It’s the beginning of the long weekend and I have some plans. Bard on the Beach, not the least of these. So I’ll keep you posted, maybe.
