These last few weeks have been the first time in my life that I barely wrote. My feeling is that I barely did anything but first sit with Johnny for hours on end, then help him (shop, feed, fetch), then walk with him slowly & slightly less slowly. In reality, I did some money work, did a reading, edited some poems, taught, took class, had a girls' night out, read quite a few books, noticed the season evolve.
It's so much more fun (for me!) to have a life that includes noticing & reacting, rather than just plodding dully along, taking things in without fitting them in. I'm ready to comment, ask, jump up—everything! After today I will DO all those things & not just promise to do them.
