There's nothing like a little country to suck all inspiration out of me... That's perfect! Heather, Too many people can be a drain on me as well. I love being around people, but I do better in smaller settings and I draw my strength from alone time or time spent with Sarah. And you are right about just letting myself be sick, of course. Aside from this post, I allowed myself not to write while I recovered. I'm back on the saddle this morning and while I didn't write for as long as usual, it was nice to be back. I didn't lose anything while away. Russ,

Heather,

Too many people can be a drain on me as well. I love being around people, but I do better in smaller settings and I draw my strength from alone time or time spent with Sarah.

And you are right about just letting myself be sick, of course. Aside from this post, I allowed myself not to write while I recovered. I’m back on the saddle this morning and while I didn’t write for as long as usual, it was nice to be back. I didn’t lose anything while away.

I need my down time to reflect and rejuvenate. Finishing a project. You'd think this would invigorate me. I'm done! What can I do next? But no. Instead, for days, I often feel lost and sapped. Last week, I finished a project. I fought the drainage. I tried to move on. I couldn't. Then I spent the weekend out of town for a wedding on my husband's side of the family. Family 24-7 for three days. Doubly sapped. My solution? I stayed in bed almost the entire day Monday reading. Got up right before I had to teach flute and piano lessons. Tuesday, I was ready and writing. Basically, let yourself be sick. Being around too many people too often. I need my down time to reflect and rejuvenate.
