Where oh where did my inspiration go…

Oh where oh where can it be? I’ve been wondering where I left my inspiration to write blog posts. I can’t seem to remember where I put it. It’s been missing for some time now. It wandered off and seemingly vanished into thin air…poof and it was gone never to be seen again or so it has seemed. And, I’ve not been exactly sure how to get it back.

I have enjoyed writing blog posts and miss the energy it brings to me to do so. It’s like a puzzle. A topic comes to me and my mind goes to work putting the pieces together until it is complete. There is a sense of satisfaction from the finished work with all the parts fitting together nicely. Posting it on my website is the crowning moment for me.

I’ve given myself some badly needed down time this holiday weekend to sit and read and not do a whole bunch. I’ve needed this time to relax and unwind. Creativity and having a relaxed body, mind and spirit are keenly connected for me.

Inspiration can’t be forced. Like the pieces of a puzzle it all has to easily fit together to work well.

What I’ve really needed is to let go and relax and rejuvenate for some creative energy to flow back into me. Perhaps I’ve put my finger on where I left my inspiration after all: back behind all the duties and chores and “to do’s” that have bogged me down and tightened me up.

I do keep learning and relearning exactly what it is that I need. I just wonder where this life’s journey will take me next!
