Seasonal changes seem to affect motivation more than people expect, especially when creativity is involved. Energy often returns in small moments rather than dramatic bursts, almost quietly rebuilding itself in the background. A shift in environment can sometimes change momentum more than effort alone. There’s something comforting about noticing those brief lifts in mood and following them where they lead. Hoping the new writing spot keeps working its magic.
Thank you Nicole, my new writing place has helped me get more productive although my Substack has suffered a bit. Explanation to follow in next post 😘😘
We've been in Spain for a month (we did it last winter for the first time) and it's been so nice to walk around in the sunshine and feel warm. Back to Blighty tomorrow, so bracing ourselves for the cold. How lovely to look over your garden as spring appears and I'm sure that will inspire you to write Jo. Have a good week and fingers crossed for some bright, sunny days 😎 😘
So lovely to hear how the bit of sun, with promise of spring (and new view) improved your mood. I am sitting looking out my window at the trees whipping around and seeing the first few signs of precipitation and getting equally excited. Weather!! But then, no fear that the rain will hold on for months.

Oh how weather gives a discussion topic where ever we are 😘😁
Can we keep getting garden pics? Everything in eastern Canada is still covered in snow…
Next post Natalie 😘
