I realized, quite some time ago, that one of my favorite past times was creative writing. Nevertheless, as you can see, for the last few weeks, I haven’t been on my blog as much as I would like. (Eek! Sorry!)

So, I meditated on “why” this was, and came to realize that once my pleasure, my past time, became something I “scheduled” that the inspiration to write, became sabotaged by it becoming an “accomplishment.” I had, mistakenly, set myself up not to write, because I had scheduled it, rather than just letting the inspiration to “show up.” Of course, by not focusing on it, the natural flow of being inspired then showed up in its due course, and without pressure.

That led me to consider that sometimes, we focus on what we “don’t want” or “do want” so much that we lose those “now moments” of inspiration that just call for our attention. Moments that ask for us to do something on spur of the moment, just because something within us needs it, and it would be a positive and nurturing experience.

It does lead me to ask, you, when have allowed yourself to be swept away by an inspiration, one that nurtures you? When have you just allowed yourself to do something positive for yourself, on a whim, without plan, and because it would bring you joy?
