floating through my day......

It is after 5:00 p.m. here and I just realized that I didn't write in my blog today. What a spacey day I have had today. Did things that every normal person does but felt like I was off in the clouds most of the time. It is funny but when I am not focussing on my work or my writing, I feel like my days are completely wasted. And then I remember when I was married with children, the day that I have just experienced would have been the norm for me.

Doing laundry, changing bed linen, doing dishes, shopping, banking, going to the gym - used to feel like a full day. but today even looking at what I have done and seeing the list before me it seems somehow flat. How times have changed? How I have changed?

Got some books from the library for research on my next project. Since I realize thatI have to come up with some works of literary masterpieces that will actually put some money in my pocket I got some Anais Nin books and started to pour over them while sitting in the sun on a bench by the beach once the sun finally came out. She is the one of the firsts and supposedly one of the best female writers of erotica so reading her thoughts and words seems like a good course to study. I did start to write a little something the other day but kept getting interrupted and perhaps I can return to it later this week. I do tend to get distracted and scattered. Need to work on that.

Was considering getting a real job again and then a friend told me to forget it. As she said, "you have been threatening to do that for years. I don't see you doing it now so stop procastinating and just write." She has a point.

A girly girl friend of mine is arriving for a 20 hour layover on Father's Day. She is a flight attendant and another crazy Aquarian so we are looking forward to playing for the day and evening. I mentioned that it is funny that she is arriving for Father's Day. Must mean that we need to infuse some of the divine feminine Goddessy energy into the mix. Look out Vancouver...smile.......

So now off to make some dinner and then meeting a friend for a drink at the Sylvia. For those of you who aren't familiar with Vancouver, the Sylvia is an old heritage hotel down the street from my place and across from the same beach that sat at earlier this afternoon devouring Anais Nin's words. The sunset from the windows there are beautiful and it is always a quiet place. Somewhere nice to sit and sip and share with others.

May your night be full of warm surprises.

Namaste
