I am a Skald

I've been out all day with a potential exercise partner. Her name is Marianne and we've hit it off. Must have since we spent almost 6 hours together, talking and laughing and walking. It was really nice. Meeting new people can be a positive experience. But of course, that makes little time for much thinking, which I guess, is a good thing.

I am tired now. You know when you are like burning in your face, but I at least look healthy in a way. Not grey in the face. I think I need sort of like a shift in my mind. I cannot sit at home all day. It just isn't possible. I have to take a deep breath and just change the way I think about how to structure my days. After writing my blog and turning off my computer yesterday, I actually managed to write 7 pages!! And that within an hour! I thought I had gone through five, and was really surprise. I enjoyed every minute of it, feeling the pen moving more freely across the page. Just think that I had problems writing my three morning pages in one hour just 6 months ago. It makes me feel proud)))

I am all for sitting down tonight and see if it goes just as good. Turning off the light, and lighting a candle, putting on some music and just enjoy myself. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much more than eating:) It has been a lovely day with autumn sun, warm enough to go without a jacket (which is absolutely beautiful in my eyes), hopefully the weather will be lovely tomorrow also))) I know that I am not going to be able to sit for a long time, so the trick is to turn of both the tv and computer at latest at midnight. I am sure I will be able to do so. Ah, listening to Gerry on my MP3... Nice:D Very nice indeed.
Hopefully I will be able to remember a photography of the trees outside tomorrow:)

I did this after I had posted it, and thought that you might like it))) What kind of Viking are you:) Surprise)) I am a Skald... LOL

Skald


FOLLOWER - SPIRITUAL - PEACEFUL - EDUCATED

Skalds are the Norse equivalent to bards, or possibly minstrels. They are the ones responsible for over half of what we now know about Scandinavian culture, royalty and mythology today, for they passed down their lore by word of mouth and song from generation to generation until Snorri Sturlusson of Iceland wrote down the Eddas in the 13th century.

Skalds were gifted poets with quick tongues who flattered kings with their art, and occasionally the kings themselves would be known as skalds (or else!). Skalds were highly respected for their wit and intelligence, and in some folklore, they were said to know of events happening in far off lands as they were happening.

It sounds like you had a lovely day))) I love meeting new people (surprise), sometimes it can be so refreshing.

What kind of things are you writing about? I know what you mean about feeling better by getting out. . . I'd like to start taking my work with me and getting things done outside or at least in different places.

haha, love the Viking thing. I'll have to try it. . . to be continued on my slug)))

Take care and am glad things are going so well for you!
