just back from two weeks in Maui. had a great time. was in the water every day.
went to sleep hearing the waves splash upon the shores. read “The Weight of Heaven” by Thrity Umrigar and began Audrey Niffeneggar’s, “The Time Traveler’s Wife“.
all-in-all it was a wonderful and restful time.
things are quiet here at home.
the children start school next week.
i want to hold on to the peace that we bring back each year from Hawaii.
i try, each year. and each year it dissipates.
i’ll start writing when the stress sets in. and which should be soon.
i suppose that’s how it is for us writers. we craft stories to conquer stress. but it never dies, the anxiety of being alive.
an so we write and others read.
what do you do conquer stress?
how does writing help?
