I'm not sure where this is going

But it's clearly headed toward Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman! I'm not really a computer person, yet here I am. I blame "Sherlock".

I feel like I might appreciate this in six months when it comes around my queue

#I usually forgive myself for not writing#because it usually means I'm quilting#and it's just a different way of exercising my creativity#and recharging my writing batteries#the same way I will forgive myself for not quilting because I'm writing#but ...#writing has been a fight for a couple of years now#and quilting hasn't really happened in two years#except now ...#I'm working on not one but two quilts#maybe three#and writing again#and the writing still is fighting me#but it's ... something#sometimes *writer's block* is just life demanding too much of your attention in a given moment#but things come around#just don't beat yourself up over it in the meantime#you're doing what you can

I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, "It was all such fun. I just had so much fun." I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.

It makes me smile every time I see someone reblog this post with commentary about how it made them happy or changed how they look at life and death. This little old lady had no idea how much warmth and comfort she brought to thousands.

And fun doesn't have to mean "I traveled to the highest mountains and across the world." It means

"I met my bestie for coffee every single Thursday afternoon and we laughed like we were six."

"I drew my favorite actor's face five hundred times from five hundred different angles because they are beautiful and I helped make the world more beautiful."

"I always ran outside when the sun came out after the rain so I could smell…everything."

Have fun however you have fun. With a dozen books, with your kid, with yourself, doing anything and everything that makes you smile please love yourself enough to find joy in as many things as you're able. You have my permission to do that. Strangers giving me permission to be kind to myself at a hard time in my life meant so much to me then, so here's mine. You have permission to find your fun, so you get to laugh toward the end too, okay?

Kindness and patience don't have to work against your ambition - they can help it.

I understand high standards and strong ambition - but when we get to the point of burnout, stress, and decreased productivity, we might have begun to work against ourselves.

An example is people kicking themselves at age 20 because they don't have life figured out. And they're so occupied with missed opportunities that they're still kicking themselves at 30 (which still leaves PLENTY of time to accomplish great things, by the way!)

It's such a "soft" topic that some people might ignore because rest and self-kindness are seen as foofy and weak rather than part of a champion's mindset - which they definitely can be.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

#be kind#to others *and* to yourself
