SOL #11 (should be #13) See below if you're curious about what the Slice of Life challenge is.
There is something delightful when you have a day or two (or three... or four... or more) where everything is arranged for you. Food? Check. Someone is there--wherever you are--to plan and prepare the meals and clean up after you eat. A place to sleep? Check. There is a bed with clean sheets, along with clean towels--just waiting for you. (This weekend the bed was especially waiting for me to sink down into it for a long nap on Saturday. *)
A table to write at? Check. A beautiful view, if I choose to daydream occasionally too often for a moment a while instead of working? Check.
A cocoon surrounding you of creative, inspiring people who are generous with their time and talent? Check. Check. And check.
Sometimes all we need is time away. Time to recharge our battery. A change of scenery.
And if that change of scenery makes is easier for us to write, paint, read... Well, all the better.
* Naps are wasted on the young. We should hook them up to a treadmill to power things while we--the adults--take naps.
Sorry to have missed it this year :( Dates already out for next?
ReplyDeleteAfter the time change, I find myself feeling quite... nappish.
