  • Pressed but not crushed

    I'm feeling a little antsy lately..
    Between all the papers and treatment plans that
    keep me strapped to the computer
    and the lack of sunshine and warmth.- oh fall..
    I'm finally feeling more creative from the inside out
    (ya know that internal desire to just make it happen)
    But i'm feeling pressed for time to actually get into my studio...
    For being such a creative field (art therapy)
     I am feeling smothered by the coursework.
    Reading reading reading, sit , write, sit , sit , write..
    AAH!!

    Instead of complaining, I'll now ponder the possibilities
    of how I can make time work for me..
    Off to prioritize and focus on time management..
    and of course, a treatment plan.

  • Xanga is a waste land... sad
    Its like classmates that hit their prime in high school and have since faded away..
    All the hype and attention for a time.. and then silence.

  • Back on the merry-go-round

    It has been so long.. and so much life has happened since I wrote last.
    It's a whole different life, with some familiar characters. We are in St. Louis, renting a fabulous house, creating a life together. Working hard, very busy. Life is full right now.
    There have been alot of ups and downs..and I find myself in the middle of another semester of grad school loving what I'm doing, yet hating the pace as which we're running.
    A classmate shared how she is planning on slowing down her schedule next semester to give herself time to explore, research, absorb and enjoy it all. I feel that need as well and am almost jealous to think of what that would really be like..

    Right now I should be writing a treatment plan, but this is called self-care. One cannot help others, until they first help themselves.

  • Finding (new) self..

    We're slowly settling in here for the summer.. well as much as we can knowing that our time is limited in New York. This realization follows with many mixed emotions. Excitement, anxiety, sadness, joy, and a sort of holding my breath for what's next.

    I feel like I'm living in a dream, only waiting to wake up to a reality harsher than I am ready for..perhaps that is just a cynical statement. I just couldn't imagine that life could be this beautiful!

    Today I'm 25 years old. This one stings a little. I've justified it by saying ok, I'm 25 and i'm married. Somehow that makes it feel a little less.. old. Perhaps I'm only fooling myself with words. Either way I'm happy, in a way that fills me with so much joy that I overflow with tears.

    I feel like i'm beginning to find myself again.. though I'm not the same person I was the last time I checked in. So, i suppose I'm figuring out (again) who I am.. It's exciting and feels great to have the time to breathe in life and new things..
