Week Five -- Check-In

Diane [no longer around] said Sep 21, 2006, 11:59 AM:
 

Each week wel answer the following questions, either for ourselves, in our morning pages or (AND/or!) here in discussion with others supporting your journey.

1. How many days this week did you do your morning pages? Are you starting to like them – at all? How was the experience for you? Have you discovered the page-and-a-half truth point yet? Many of us find that pay dirt in our writing occurs after a page and a half of vamping.

2. Did you do your artist date this week? Have you had the experience of hearing answers during this leisure time? What did you do for your date? How did it feel? Have you taken an artist date yet that really felt adventurous?

3. Did you experience any synchronicity this week? What was it? Try inaugurating a conversation on synchronicity with your friends.

4. Were there any other issues this week that you consider significant for your recovery? Describe them.

1. I do my morning pages every single day. If I mess up and don't have enough time first thing, I finish them at lunch. One day this week I dropped the ball and stopped after a couple of pages and then forgot to go back & finish!

Yes, my first day for the page-and-a-half truth point was last Wednesday, the day after my AD in the park taking pictures. I cheated and looked back to find the first time it happened. I believe it has happened a total of four times so far. It is very revealing and most of the time a wonderful “ah-ha.” But it's not always pleasant.

2.  Yes, I had several, in fact! I'm finding it easier to discover opportunities for Artist Dates.

3. Yes, and I have already discussed it with my quilting friends. It's actually now part of our “agenda” when we get together. It's easy to talk about because everyone loves the feeling.

4. Plenty, but I always keep those private. : )
