some thoughts on motherhood, marriage, learning to love my own face in the mirror, wondering about the lady in the tangerine coat in the bean aisle at the market, writing - the usual suspects.

Ignore Everything
I need a break...
From emails, telephone marketers, television, newspapers, and even from This Being Alive.
I need to shut up and quiet down.
I need to un-plug.
I will be away from my desk for 2 days.
That's it.
Just 2.
Back in time to celebrate the first day of summer.
Join me for this un-official Un-Plug Yourself thing.
Tuck your cell phone in your underwear drawer.
Un-check your email.
Use the newspaper for kitty litter box only.
Tape a big heart over the television screen.
Turn the volume down long enough to hear what you're thinking, feeling, wondering about, needing.
For 2 days.
I'm gonna give it a whirl.
Completely ignore everything I just wrote.
[more noise?]
See you Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteof course, go for it quietly and deliberately... please excuse the loud and capitalized enthusiastic letters that I threw out at you in the previous sentence, but I am so with you on this one...
enjoy.
I'm going to do the same thing.
