Write every day - Day 3

[zwei_hexen]

ysilme here: Weather is lovely, internet issue unresolved without much chance of  doing so here, so I'll stick to just posting the daily entries as I write them offline anyway. Please bear with me if I'm slow to respond to some issue you might mention, as I'm delayed in keeping up with your comments.

My own tally will follow later, too, as I'm only starting to write now for today. We've had a delightful day of catching up with sleep, reading, lots of leisure and listening to music, and a lovely long walk in the sun which graced us with beautiful weather against all predictions. It was very cold and windy, but we had sparking reflections on the sea, tangy sea and salt air, cries of gulls, and sand and pebbles under our feet - I couldn't possibly ask for more. I've also been reminded once again that being at the sea even for a few hours is a kind of instant battery filling and mental relaxation for me.

Which brings me to a general question: do you have places, rituals, occasions which work in a similar way for you?

Tally:

Day 1: alexcat, alexseanchai, carenejeans, china_shop, cittasette, cornerofmadness, navaan, shopfront, sierranovembr, sylvanwitch, talkingtothesky, trobadora, ysilme ( 13/13 so far)
Day 2: alexcat, alexseanchai, auroracloud, carenejeans, china_shop, cornerofmadness, kara_mckay, navaan, shopfront, sylvanwitch, talkingtothesky, trobadora, ysilme (13/15 so far)

Let us know if I miss d you or if you didn't check in for a while, so I can add you. Of course joining the fun is possible at any point.

sylvanwitch here:  I wrote 1029 words on the ambush project; it's flowing nicely, and I'm hoping that remains the case.  As to the questionysilme asked, I engaged in a battery-charging ritual just this morning.  After bone-chilling cold and tons of snow, we're getting a thaw, so it was in the mid-forties (F) today, and the sun was blazing away for most of the day. I took a long walk around the block, which for me means about 2.5 miles, much of it along the river, which was glinting silver in the sunlight and absolutely mobbed with Canada geese.  About halfway through the walk, I realized I had been grinning uncontrollably and completely unconsciously for some time, and even once I discovered it, I didn't change my expression. I definitely felt completely rejuvenated being out in nature for an hour or so, and I reminded myself for the umpteenth time that it's ALWAYS a restorative for me, so I should do it more often.

Journal writing. Better than no writing.

Writing is writing, period. *sympathies all the same*
