The vegetables roast. The Christmas songs play. I’ve set the table for dinner. The laundry rolls in the dryer. And now, a minute.
A minute.
Hello, there! Hello to you, and hello to me.
When we stop and take a moment to write to connect with ourselves and others, it’s a deep breath and a slow gaze. It’s a time to settle back into ourselves.
Daily writing–even in the midst of your busiest holiday–means you stop and say hello to yourself. You ask what you’re thinking and what you need to say. You allow yourself to wonder and marvel if you need to (and you need to).
Hello, there.
