A Lighter Mind


Last night I loved the sight of the lightening bursting across the sky, my own little show from the night. The perfect storm to send me off into dreams that I hoped would be pleasant and not strange. I forgot most of my dreams anyway, lately they have come back to me in fragments throughout the day, but so far I haven’t recalled any details. I was feeling restless, so I went over to the L.O.V.E. office this afternoon and spent a couple of hours with a few of my favourite youth. I always walk away from those meetings with a smile on my face. I’m grateful to be part of an organization that is involved in so many wonderful projects and it’s a comfort to have them in my life. I’m really looking forward to the fall when I’ll be attending program again.

It was important for me to get out of the apartment this week and refresh my mind so that I have more to write about over the next couple of days. I find that the busier I become, the more relaxed I get, especially when I’m in the company of others. Living in your head for too long a period of time can cause you to become overwhelmed. Sometimes, all that it takes is reaching outside your own front door to discover what could be waiting for you. I hope to come back to my writing with fresh ideas and that I can use my words to release what I hold inside so that I might come away with a lighter mind.
