Put Out The Fires

Yesterday I spoke about struggling to start the Homesong fire. And I got a wonderful email from a Homesonger, friend, and lovely supporter of this blog, Rosie Nimmo, to basically tell me off in the nicest possible way for thinking that my efforts might have been wasted.

It was much appreciated.

In my mind I was attempting an honest appraisal of the dip in my own levels of energy and motivation. As I’ve sometimes alluded, this blog has become something of a private journal, in which I try to get my thoughts in order, and then fire them out for anybody to read. It’s lovely to have people along for the journey. That’s a very uplifting experience.

Today’s blog title, Put Out The Fires , is from my modern protest song about working together to put out the wrong kind of fires. Rosie’s email played that role in a way, by putting out any dangerous little embers of disappointment or disillusionment in me. I’m grateful for her protest!
