I have a few things that really "feed my spirit," such as making things, listening to really great music (I like classic rock and 80s hair bands, your mileage may vary) and "talking" to my best friend. She lives four hours away, our schedules rarely mesh and we mostly communicate by email. Reading email from her or writing her something funny or heartfelt feeds my spirit.<br /><br />When I do any of these things, I'm able to settle back into my writing with a renewed energy and passion.Angie Dixonhttp://www.leonardotrait.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-14289501258304246272014-03-31T12:19:58.943-07:002014-03-31T12:19:58.943-07:00Bonding with friends, families and other creatives...Bonding with friends, families and other creatives, reading good books, brainstorming ideas, discovering new tech programs and working my purpose feed my spirit.

That is the beginning of relaxation. Then an hour of watching M*A*S*H reruns, because I think the scriptwriters were outstanding. The dialogue trips my trigger. But a walk on the beach, which I look forward to all year, is the one thing that touches my soul. And I can't forget my writers group the WWWPs...wild women wielding pens.

And like you, my in person close friends are fewer than my online gang. I enjoy quality time with these friends and family - this interaction plays a big role in recharging me as well. This is not to say I don't enjoy my online gang.

I've been pre-occupied lately and my spirit has been drained. So when I remember to stop and count my blessings-- I have many-- my spirit is fed. Thanks for the reminder.STEPHANIE J.

Hubby and I play pinochle with friends nearly every Saturday night. It's been going on for 30+ years and I can't imagine not being fed by their love, fellowship, and awesome dill dip. So glad you have a 'circle' to call your own! They are a blessing, no? Great post. Happy Sunday! Susan Sundwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747706680849311882noreply@blogger.com
