Words and talking is a very big part of my job. Thousands and thousands words every day. The problem solving processes include lots of thinking and discussing. Before thinking: listening to words, descriptions of situations or problems. Verbal questions that need verbal answers. Therapy is ”the talking cure”. I basically listen to words all day long. Add to that the normal family chit chat and talking going in all directions at the same time. Imagine my need for quiet time !! The other day I went to the yearly book sales, buying a few books. When I came home a realized all of them were solely about creativity!! Nowordneeded activities of knitting, painting, coloring and cooking. They will hopefully water my tired of words overflooded brain with colors and smells and soft touches of yarn. I will definitely try to spend some time during lent resting from words.
