I know that of what I've written so far, most are not actually small stones. Like I said at the beginning, maybe it's enough to write something every day, but I'm not even managing that. Have I failed already then? I don't think so. I am looking more closely and I am thinking more clearly, whether I write it down or not. So, I'm not going to beat myself up but be grateful for the space to reflect on such things. I've been in a pretty negative place lately and that has already changed. I'm feeling grateful for all sorts of things and a joy that has long been absent has reappeared. There are glimpses of hope and so I press on, trying to be more disciplined in my daily writing and reflecting on it's value. Perhaps other things have changed that might account for this change of heart, I don't know, but it seems to me that small stones are building new foundations.

"small stones are building new foundations"... love it!
ReplyDeleteIf what I see here are not small stones, then I did not understand the description well. Perhaps a few are slightly larger stones, but they are each smooth, well polished, and pleasant to hold. I love them all. I will put them in my pockets.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki, so glad you like them.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this... this is my experience too.
I'm glad to find I'm not alone in this Eliza.
