Monday! Dreaded Mondays... I find Mondays (perhaps like other people) to be a strange day where everything is kind of sluggish and not quite back into place. With the fast approaching end of my "holiday" I feel frustrated! Haven't lived my life as I should have done. Haven't done enough things that I enjoy doing because the pressure to get a job and the despair to be rejected on petty grounds kept my mind too busy (uselessly) to be focussing on the good side of life. And the fear that invisible enemy of life that is sometimes so overpowering... Now I feel like I have to cram up all these wasted days into SEVEN days. I know it's not worth living with regrets but.... I want these next few days to matter somehow: take time to cherish my cat, talk to my husband (if he's got time), go for walks and take in my surroundings, eat out perhaps. In a word: LIVE.

So today my inspiration was not at its best (good start to the aforementioned living objective!). I just took an old blank note book made by an artisan. I bought this item for the beauty of it and as usual my love of craftsmanship. In fact my place is full of beautiful and useless objects but they are the products of men (or women) who cared about keeping their trade or craft alive.

To conclude: I think it's the first time that I have talked about life, living, alive....in a long long time.

The hardest is to sticking to it!
