Join the interesting discussion thread, "How Do You Fill the Hole in the Soul?" that I started a few days ago at Group Beyond Blue, which you can get to by clicking here. Lots of interesting suggestions are thrown out, such as this one from Group Beyond Blue member Lapatoso: "Find a tree to lie under, then watch the clouds build and move." And this one from Group Beyond Blue member Seashell Nancy: "I find a lot of 19inch weighted dolls and dress them in a diaper and small baby clothes and wrap them in a blanket."

I try to do some thing, at least some one thing, towards clearing my physical, mental, emotional spaces in order to create an opening into the hole so that I can make room in it for the things that fit and truly fill the soul. I get so far out there that I can not even begin to be creative because I tell myself that I have to have the house and yard and everything else all cleaned up and in order before I can get started. And of course, that is all just too, too much…, so…I have to start with doing some small thing towards having it all done and then I can create at least just a little bit of a poem, or story, or post to a blog, or whatever….

Plan some time to do small chores. Vacuum the dust and dirt. Wet mop
at night when no one is going out. Give certain areas the once over
touch of clean.
There are trees on both sides of my home and a brook close enough. The
birds like their food on the ground and small animals eat from the pile
too. Be glad to have something. Accepting the self and liking you has
to be a process of going from negative to positive. Doubts and fears
to courage and faith. Build the confidence. Push your self to do what
you know....has to be done instead of waiting. Get it done now. Not
later because LATER doesn't mean that it will get done any time soon.
Pretend that you have an invisible friend that can give you what you
need.
