I'm a total dreamer who thinks of at least a thousand cool things I COULD be doing, but that's about where it ends. Call it staying true to my Libran traits, or procrastination, idealism, or just plain old 'gunna-do' syndrome.
Lately however something has just switched on inside of me. It's like someone opened me up in my sleep and said, "Oh look at that rusty old wire, it's not even connected to anything. Better rip it out and put a shiny new one in".
Talk about pro-active. At the moment I'm in the process of sanding and painting 3 sets of drawers, 3 chairs, a kids table AND my dining table! All amongst my usual innings of washing, dishes, playing with my kidlets, school trips, walking, painting cards, & stomach crunches, something I haven't even attempted for the past 8 yrs! Phew!!!
The most awesome part is I actually have more energy than I've had in a long time. This business of 'doing things' has made me feel all powerful, like I actually could do anything if I just STARTED it!
This inspired surge seems to have coincided with a shift in my body clock.
Forever I have been a morning person. I used to get up at the crack of dawn with my father to sit at the table, have a bowl of porridge and talk, then I'd go back to bed to get up with the rest of my family at the 'normal' time. (Porridge to me now is like a warm childhood memory, I feel safe and comforted whenever I eat it).
I have never been able to function late at night, if I was awake it would be in a zombie like state and I never understood how WAHP's would run the household during the day and WORK at night.
For the past 6 weeks I've been up till midnight every night with the energy to do stuff. It's my time, the house is quiet, the only sounds are of people breathing deeply in a state of peaceful sleep. I ponder, create and just be. It is great.
I have no idea where this shift has come from, it was not at all a conscious decision to alter my behavioural patterns. Something out there in this big ol' universe has decided I need a fresh change, and given me bounds of lifeful (cool word huh?) energy.
