Inspirations and Writing Distractions
The Pibler has been especially cute today, full of smiles, laughter and jokes. He is now able to identify and name body parts - eyes, ears and nose - on both himself and his teddies (well, Eeyore and Pooh).
Even without a historical context, he seemed to enjoy the little bit of the Royal Pavilion Tour that he, along with me and my sister, saw today (he slept through most of it). He pointed at and named the chandeliers and the fire, looking with interest at the paintings and elaborate wall designs.
I came away from last night’s sangha meeting feeling renewed. We did a lovely Kundalini Yoga meditation for communication, and I think our group is developing in a very positive direction. We have ideas for ways of bringing the tools of the yoga to the community, and have decided to meet more often, including a mantra session before each meeting.
Tomorrow I will be attending the Hanover Stops for Tea charity event to raise money for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. I’ve been inspired by the efforts of my fellow moms to organise this event, and tomorrow look forward to catching up with them there, and introducing my sister. I hope the noise of many toddlers is not too overwhelming for her! There will apparently be a ‘rock and rhyme’ session for the little ones too.
It’s half-term this week, so no writing course, but I’m going to try my best to get some more fiction writing done. It’s proving challenging without my own study space to write in, now that the Pibler is temporarily sleeping in my room and the TV in the background in the front room is so distracting. Still, I’m managing to write more in my journal which I had been neglecting lately, submitted another paragraph - on ’snow’ - to Paragraph Planet today, and managed to complete an article on toddler rainy day activities for Suite 101 yesterday.
