Writing Down The Bones Deck #10

This post is inspired by Denise E Lindquist. I never would have known about this deck of cards if it wasn't for her. So thank you Denise for sharing this lovely deck of cards with all of us on Vocal.

Full disclosure: I have not read Natalie Goldberg's book titled by the same name. I just own her cards.

I also receive a small commission from Amazon if you purchase these cards via the link that I have provided for you. Thank you.

I've been stuck in a writing rut. I have honestly tried everything to get myself out of the funk I have found myself in after losing my fourth child. I tried reading more- when I have time that is. I tried art journaling. I even tried listening to my favourite podcasts about writing and writers block. I mean nothing has been able to get me out of this writers block and depression I find myself in.

I was scrolling Vocal and I came across another post by Denise that featured these cards. And I thought to myself, maybe this is it. SO I bought them. I thought to myself, "Maybe this is what I need". I've been carrying the cards around for about a month- trying to get "in the mood" to write again. I started writing this on my Kindle Scribe today while I was at home and I felt everything just flow. I'm going to try and post every prompt that I work on. I truly love tarot and oracle cards as well as affirmation cards, that is why I clicked so well with these.

SO without further ado- enjoy my attempt at erasing my writer's block with the tenth prompt.

Write about the weather.

The weather outside is so cold. It's -50 degrees Celsius with the wind chill where I live. My partner's job got canceled for tomorrow because the weather is so nasty outside right now. I'm over winter. I'm ready for spring, when the weather gets warmer and the snow starts melting. I bought my kids splash suits this year as I plan on spending as much time appreciating the good weather after such a hard winter.

I'm really excited about it actually. My youngest is quite rambunctious. We took him to gymnastics with my middle child last week and he loved how much space he had to roam around. I want to go outside with the kids every day as soon as it gets nicer out.

I haven't left the house since Wednesday. The day of my surgery actually. I've been on rest mode recovering and it's just too cold to do much outside with the kids.

My partner asked if I wanted to go for a walk by myself tonight to get some fresh air. But I just decided to open a window instead and crank the heat as I was worried the kids would get frost bite because of how cold it is out there right now.

Maybe the hard winter will end, and spring and summer will bring some more joy into my life.
