I'm five years on from a life-affecting event and about 2-3 years on from feeling "recovered" from that, but now I feel as if I've stalled, as if I'm drifting. <BR/><BR/>But you're inspiring me not to be.

Taking on too many things and succeeding with none of them--at least not to the degree I want. <BR/><BR/>And then little things like the audio books I listened to constantly in my car. To make my commute more pleasant, I always had an audio book going. Get in the car, start the engine, start the book. At some point I realized the constant immersion in audio fiction was stopping me from thinking. In the past, a drive was the ideal time to think about things, to plan, to come up with writing ideas. So now I listen to audio books part of the time. The rest of the time I'm getting in touch with my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>IB, I'll send you an email about that. If anyone else wants to know, let me know.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880145777347900626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12721167.post-26133582408716541862009-04-10T19:10:00.000-07:002009-04-10T19:10:00.000-07:00I am still trying to imagine how you saved yoursel...I am still trying to imagine how you saved yourself quite by accident.Indigo Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387698096732697805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12721167.post-84173571829230500032009-04-10T17:08:00.000-07:002009-04-10T17:08:00.000-07:00OMG.

I've felt stalled for the past 10 or so years. So this post inspires me. I'm going to write my own pink slip (not related to work). Thanks Susan, and have fun on the way to goals 1-3! Let me know when you've accomplished goal 2, and where I can get a copy.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804382963910285639noreply@blogger.com
