Time is just flying by now that we are in September, so I thought this quote from Emily Dickinson was rather appropriate.
“To live is startling it leaves little time for anything else.” Emily Dickinson
Sometimes living does seem so startling that there doesn’t seem to be time to do anything but hold on tight and hope we make it through the week. This last week was rather like that for me. When I have weeks like that, I have to remind myself to take time to pause, breathe, and remember that not every week can be incredibly productive and that sometimes just living is enough.
So I’m doubly grateful for a three-day weekend so I can rest, kick a bit of a cold that I picked up somewhere, and get back to creating. I’m also rather happy by how the calligraphy turned out. I remembered to put my traveling calligraphy pen in my bag so I’m ready for all occasions that necessitate some fancy writing.
I hope that if your life is startling this weekend, it is startling in a positive, joyful way. I’ll be back with some more calligraphy and thoughts on books and writing soon. I hope you have a lovely day. 🙂
