Finding My Words

Tueasday pages

Today I started to work my way through The Artists Way and began morning pages.  What a revelation that is, wow!!  Filling those three pages is not so difficult once you get going!


I felt all energised and sparkly after that and went on to write some recollections of my primary school.  That is going back 36 years, so I'm quite thrilled that I filled 8 sides of A4 in one sitting.  So many treasured memories came flooding back such as my first teachers infectious laugh, the school guinea pig that chose people on whom to poo.  The orange crocosmia that surrounded the school entrance, the smell of the musty paint jar cupboard.  Being allowed down to the village shop in pairs to buy sweets at lunchtimes... that wouldn't happen these days.


I am quite thrilled to have left my writing shed having written about 15 full sides of A4 to start off my tool kit.  I feel relaxed and like I have achieved something very worthwhile and it's a long time since I felt that.  I was even thinking how nice it would be to bind these scribblings in the future as a keepsake to pass on.  I know I adore to look through old journals and papers from the past, even my own from childhood.  So glad I have them alll safe in my shed then, its warm and dry in there and above all it's tidy!!!
