Stuck in limbo suffering from post concussion syndrome I feel trapped by the limits of my own miss functioning brain. During this time it’s hard to avoid walking the path of fear which inevitably leads to doubt. My feet are too inclined to march downhill. As much as I want to take the road less travelled I’m tired and worn down by pain and despair.
What I have left is my imagination. I can push forward far enough into the future that I can see myself as well again. When I close my eyes to what is I can open my heart to what will be. This is my salvation but it is also my choice. I paint the future with my mind. The colours and brushes I choose define the path I will walk.
I paint joy, abundance and freedom. I paint laughter, travel and acceptance. In my imagination I am. All that I want to be.
This is really uplifting and inspiring. I know you can make it through!

Your mental blocks and self-doubts ate not very different from what I felt when I started blogging; the feeling quite often after completing each post was what would be my next subject, and the fear of running out of ideas. The way ahead as I figured out was to stay continually updated on the happenings around for an endless stream of ideas and concepts serving as grist for the creative mill. So just keep going, Jo…
