The Bard's Hall Contest

Soothing for the soul

"The Bard's Hall Contest"  [13+]

I love these kinds of quiet mind-body and soul music, to channel my energy and calm down. It’s soothing for the soul and I can write while listening to it. Mantras!

It’s not likely that I travel to India shortly, or at all for that matter. It’s so crowded there and the only way I could function is in some sort of ashram in the middle of nowhere. Did you see the movie Eat, Love, Pray? Something like that.

It’s on my bucket list, although I didn’t know I have one. Come to think of it, I can make one right now, just for the hell of it.

Not in any particular order:

Stay in an ashram in India, Take some additional driving lessons, hire a car (I haven’t driven in almost 19 years , Win the lottery, Visit the USA once more, Take up sculpting again (I have the stone and the material), Publish more frequently, Fall in love .

I will be sixty-two at the end of next month. I write down the words, not the digits. In a way, I can’t believe this is the case. You wake up one day and you are an old woman. What happened?

**shaking one’s head**

It’s not that I mind being old, it’s the physical ailments coming along with it. I am not that flexible anymore. But it’s a fact of life, and I have to adjust.

But I am certainly not complaining. My life is good! I’ve had some rough times in the far past but the last years have been a blessing. I realized this because there are so many writers here suffering. But people are challenged, not broken. Being a writer is such a great thing. Having the Writing.com community in my life is the best. That and my dog is what’s keeping me healthy. Every single day!

Sometimes I think WdC is like a cult. But then again, what’s wrong with that? I love WdC!
