I am getting so tired of feeling no motivation to do anything, I hardly read or write these days. I have to get myself out of this, finish don Quixote and start reading the dozens of books I have on my to do list... a few months ago I got a small book with many of shakespeare's plays laid out for kids and I want to read it for my boy soon, he needs to learn about the classics. I have a shakespeare action figure, his 'weapons' are a book and a feather pen, Gummi loves it but he is not allowed to play with it' this is Mommy's man' I also have a pretty picture of Shakespeare looking into the fire and getting ideas for his plays, and gift cards with quotes but I don't want to give it away. when I started living alone my brother gave me a daily calendar with shakespearean insults, I loved it, I think I should find out where he got it and buy one every year. when I was younger I got inspired by reading shakespeare, maybe I should read a play or two and see were it leaves me, it doesn't seem like many people like my short stories so maybe I need to find a new approach, or stick with poems, I just wish I could find it in me to finish the novels I've started.

I found out that the word I've been looking for for so long was snow globe, that is the name of my novel, if I ever finish it...

    Ah, I love snow globes.

    You know Helga, sometimes I feel like that too. Maybe you put yourself under too much pressure; relax, have some time when you're not striving for something and in those quiet spaces that's where poetry will find you, that's where your desire to read and write and do will emerge from. It is tough being a Mum, I understand that, and it's very easy to forget about yourself. Give yourself some time and space and things may start to feel better.
    I've been trying to, and putting off, reading Don Quixote all year. I know I'll enjoy it but it's just so so so so long!
    You know, I just read this entry again and it sounds so much like me 'wish I could get on with the novel', oh, how familiar that sounds!
    I hope you feel better soon. Take care, Fifth
