there’s been a lull in my life lately a lack of activity an absence of motion
a pause, a respite an interlude a hiatus, a lacuna (wait – what’s a lacuna?)
after a mini-panic of not getting things done projects not attended to my daily routine halted
i decided to begin anew (the exact words from my journal) on monday, april 1 what could be better?
the first of the month on a monday and in april a perfect fresh start
but it still didn’t happen because after the no-excuses i had a legitimate one i came down with a bad cold
doing just the bare minimum to get through my work and my daily existence not enough not enough
however, i decided to be gentle with myself to allow myself this breathing space
to forgive my failings and start again when i’m feeling stronger sounds like a new plan
so i will lull my disquiet soothe any anxious thoughts forgive failings start stronger
(and by the way, in case you're wondering, a lacuna is an unfilled space, a missing part, a gap) *******
guess what?
