It's rather amazing to read it all in one go (like Big reading Carrie's columns all at once and finally understanding the ebb and flow of her life), and slightly shocking the ups and downs we can experience in the span of such a short period of time. <br /><br />My last week was beautiful. Everyday felt like the most exquisite type of self-care because each day, I did exactly what I wanted to do. No, let me fix that. I did exactly what made my soul burst with joy, what made it connect with the land, what fueled my inner creativity to the point of combustion. And then on Saturday night, the lowest sort of low cut me down at the knees. And the burrs stuck deep in my skin for several day. I'm still picking them out but can already feel the uplift. <br /><br />I'm making plans for self-care. Today I think it will mean not cleaning the kitchen and instead, indulging in some voracious reading. <br /><br />Thank you, as always, for reminding me of me.UmberDovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920126905837786943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-35374531433556566922009-06-01T20:58:51.936-07:002009-06-01T20:58:51.936-07:00What a lovely idea!
