Beautiful! I think it can be kind of freeing to get past thinking we have to keep up with all the things. Of course I would love to do more of so many hobbies and interests but I also appreciate being able to trust (a little bit) that I’ll get to them when and if the time (and everything else) is right.
This is beautiful and so very relatable. I’m in a season of school & study and my brain is getting foggy and unhappy because I haven’t tended to my favorite hobbies. So I bought a new sketchbook yesterday and a tiny monthly calendar that I can fill in one or two things a week just for the joy of it - painting for an hour, sketching in a coffee shop, or even a nap! I’m also a big fan of “stacking” - do you have a kid who needs a long bedtime routine? Maybe you could knit in their room for a few quiet minutes while they fall asleep? Or maybe stacked during bath time? When we homeschooled I would sometimes cover the table in crayons and watercolors just so I had an excuse to paint for a bit. 😆 Your writing group sounds amazing though and good on you building your daily writing practice! 🤍

Thank you Anna! Freeing is the right word to describe that feeling of letting go of guilt. 💕
