@Emma: thanks for your comment, they’re going well so far although early days.
@Sue: that’s what I’m hoping, that it will become a habit.
@Barbara Anne: I heard about that book somewhere just the other day. Wonder where. And yes, all three at the same time sounds great!
@Lucy: I have to admit you are my role model in this, I knew you’d been doing them for a long time and you do sometimes share the most interesting bits. My hope is that they’ll start spinning out ideas, and I most certainly will share some of that.

Hi Tess,

Interesting idea you had! I was reminded about a quote from a book I’m currently reading, “Church of the Old Mermaids” by Kim Antieau:

“Sing, dance, create. If you have to choose one, do all three at the same time.” – Sister Bridget Mermaid

How about that?!

Thanks for the link, Tess!! And kudos for morning pages. It’s funny how things become a habit. I took them up again about a year and a half ago, and now they are just what I do in the mornings. A great way to defluff the brain

Oh, boy, I really LOVE that pic. Gorgeous.

I’m great at starting and then not finishing, too!

How are the pages going so far?

Hi Barbara Anne – how about half an hour on each of these things on over a three-day cycle? So Day 1 half hour walking, Day 2 writing, Day 3 gardening then back to walking again – for 100 days.

We must be related. I love to start new things, including quilts, but also lack in follow through. Sigh! I have more unfinished quilts here than you can imagine, but perhaps in the next 100 days I can make a dent in those …?
… or should I walk?
… or should I write?
… or should I garden?
… or …?

Another problem is indecision!!

Write on, Tess!

@SS: a new bathtub with lovely foamy good-smelling things!
@Lizzie: Go for it! I shall look out of my window to watch you all go past.
