Some similar themes here over the last few days - tidying and dusting for the first time in a very long time and reflecting on why I have decided to use my precious and limited energy on this now. I realised it is very much aligned with letting go of some grief and looking ahead. I decided to start a new notebook tomorrow for Easter even though the my old one isn't full - not for creative writing but for some notes on Buddhist teachings and practices - there is a sense of needing to start afresh now my circumstances have changed. And it's so nice to have a slightly tidier, less dusty flat!
Tidying is definitely not the activity many of us would choose to use our limited energy on, but it’s good to clear out the stuff / energy and start again. I always find Easter is aligned with powerful new beginnings.
You are welcome- I had fun writing this one and I’m glad it brought back some memories! It made me smile a lot when I found the episodes and theme tune.
Maybe it calls for a series of articles related to 70s/80s cartoons. The flumps next time?!!

Fresh starts are so powerful.

Enjoy the tidier flat! ❤️
Aw thanks for that blast from the past from childhood! I'd forgotten all about the Wombles 😂 I have Beth's book on order too, can't wait to read it 🩷

🤣 I do love to pootle, so perhaps there’s something in it…Leave it with me!
Your article has prompted me to tackle my office jumble. Thanks!
That's brilliant- Let me know if it helps with your concentration and creativity!!
It has! Even though I've only started, I feel more creative!
Good news- even Marie kondo has found a more achievable balance https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/30/how-marie-kondo-changed-her-mind-about-mess?CMP=fb_gu&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR1ghFvDqqcYQahICLFXiDxg7DvZ4QEJh39n9CfrnFLfZLb3xd2fLxSXLrQ#Echobox=1711799129
