I love getting a swift kick in the pants (where in the world did this expression come from?!). Lately the kicks have involved inspiration. Today the swift kick came from various blogs, flutes I heard in a song, asking a question and receiving overwhelming responses, reading through 457 tweets from a person I didn’t know was on twitter but that made my heart soar once I found her. This weekend the swift kick came from a meeting that made me want to work harder at my job, to learn as much as possible and then use this knowledge in a new setting, where I will need to rely on myself.
I am also getting a huge kick outta the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. I love this time before both arrive.
I read an amazing poem a couple weeks ago. Each line was so superb, the words made me ache. The poem was written in a way that I feel I write, even though I haven’t ever written a poem like that.
We are almost done unpacking and organizing the office. I can’t even imagine having a dedicated writing space. I have all of these cute visions for the space. Can’t wait.
Lyric of the week:
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
~Tom Waits, Hold On
Song of the week: Taken by Trees: To Lose Someone
Artist of the week: Camilla Engman
