I am forced to take a break from gather. No words are forthcoming. Mind is kind of blank. In this kind of mood it's better to take a break from everything. Writing, commenting, cementing.

Why don't I feel rejuvenated? Feeling listless is more like it.

I have found that the weather can have a huge impact on me. It's been dark and gloomy for a couple of days now and I've been fighting that listless bored melancholy feeling ever since lol. You're right though, it is best to take a break when in that kind of mood. Rest assured, this too shall soon be passed. :)

Sometimes we just need rest. Hurry back, after you get refreshed!:)

Some people(like me) will tell you when we think alot and write alot and read alot
The mind just says enough already and sorts of shuts down. What is happening it is sorting and colating the data much like a computer and when it is ready, it wiil produce again. Relax

Have a good break. Sometimes you need to step away.

I suppose so. But I am breaking the pattern by posting from my archives and I started commenting too. Great way to feel motivated by other's writings.

I'm glad something is working for you, Gautami. I get inspired when I read articles by others as well.

okay hon, we will be hear for you when you get back.

Gautami, that is exactly what I have been doing. Resting and getting inspired by the work of others. It gives your mind a chance to chill out and regroup. Go with the flow. Sometimes, not working is part of the creative process. Take a break and play with your sweet children. You will know when its time to return. Rest easy, my friend.

Thanks folks for your care and concern. Not to forget the encouraging words.

My mind is completely without any thoughts now.

Do something different, look at pictures, smell spices, talk a walk. The well takes awhile to fill after emptying it out.
