I'm catching up on my reading after being in France for my birthday and I really loved this post, Charlotte. As you say, sometimes we just need to remind ourselves of that thing that gets us back on track. It's strange how we stray from the things that are most useful – the good medicine – but it seems to happen without our even noticing and then we're in a mess. I'm so glad you remembered your morning pages and I hope your rosacea calms down. I know what that's like! Big hugs to you!
It looked like you had a great birthday in France, I'm so happy for you! I love how you put this: "we stray from the things that are most useful." That's exactly what it feels like, just sort of straying. And yes, morning pages have been so helpful and my Rosacea seems to have calmed. I'm being really, really careful in the sun. Cheers to you!
I love morning pages, although they can occasionally be evening or mid-afternoon pages if the morning is particularly fraught. They have certainly helped me understand myself better although they haven't yet had the effect of improving my writing.
I hear you, sometimes morning pages get done later in the day. And I beg to differ with you--the act of writing morning pages probably has had a huge impact on your writing quality!
So much sympathy! My skin is the first sign of "something's not right" too. And you already know I'm struggling with writing. After reading this, my intention is to start morning pages again (after many years of not doing them) the day after I arrive in my new home. I'm thinking I'm going to need the processing time.
When you consider that your skin is the biggest organ in the body, it makes sense. I am continuing with the morning pages and very happy with the results. They are the best for processing. I'm sending you all the good vibes for your move and starting writing again (eventually).

Hum, that gives me something to think about Charlotte, thank you :-)
