Less TV

Dear friend,
I used to watch a lot of TV in the evenings and during the day. As I have become more creative particularly with my artists journals I am watching TV less. I don't put music on either. I love the peace and quiet and communing and chatting to God while I do my art and go about my life.
Do you do much creatively? Do you watch a lot of TV? Do you enjoy silence? Do you chat to God?

Being led by the Spirit

Dear friend,
So far with my blog I rarely speak about God. God or a Divine power have always been very central in my life. Sometimes more central than others. I have been praying for more peace in my life particularly with time on my own. Over the past 6 years I have been finding it very hard at times to spend time with myself peacefully particularly when I am in a quieter mood and not zippy.
In the past few days i have been led to a greater understanding of God and am finding I am being led by the Spirit (God) in even the smallest details of my life. If I am unsure about something I am asking the Spirit for advice. i am being Spirit led in a greater way than I have in the past.
Do you believe in God or a Higher power? Are you Spirit led?

To blog or not

Dear friend,
Going through latest quiet time where I wonder about my blogging and why I do it. I don't usually have things I want to say when I am quiet. I am keeping a journal on my mood swings and trying to work out better ways of dealing with my quiet times. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I just don't do very much. I still keep up with my friends but I don't do any creative work. although that is a lie. I took part in a 30 day creativity challenge and I was creative everyday so that isn't right about not being creative. I'll do some more writing about it.
Do you have quieter and busier times in your life?

Blood test

Dear friend,
Just went for a blood test for my thryroid. it reminded me of all the blood tests I've had in the past with lithium and my mental illness. I'm not on lithium now. It didn't work for me and my rapid cycling.
I'm in another flat phase of my cycle. Often don't blog when I am flat. Less ideas to talk about.
