I am taking more time to do the things that make me happy, outside of my husband and son. Things that are just for me, like painting my nails, dying my hair and even going out once in a while.
My son is a year and a half old now, and he doesn't need me around as much. It is time I start letting the grandparents do their god given duty and baby-sit.
So, I have electric blue nails, a new hair cut and I managed to get out of the house several times in the past month. I went to Parx casino and did a bit of slot playing with some family, went out to dinner and then dancing with a friend and even managed to catch Avatar at the local Imax 3D theater.
The ultimate question is this...how has this renewed sense of self affected my writing?
I am pleased to report that, despite my new activities, productivity has gone up. I attribute this to my over-all sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
By giving myself permission to relax and enjoy life again I have become much happier and, in turn, I have been able to focus on my writing better.
Sometimes we forget that you can not write for the world unless you are a part of it!
