I am doing well. I am getting things done. But somehow I always manage to feel less than because I see all the many things I haven't yet gotten done. Just think...until the day you die there will be unfinished things. Like the baby blanket you were crocheting before the baby came and now your child is twelve years old. There will always be bills to pay, laundry to wash, meals to prepare. It just keeps going.
On another note...
My writing is finally coming. Because I am forcing myself to just do it. I have a wonderful opportunity and I will not mess things up with my procrastinating ways. I have a publisher interested in me and my ideas. The book which I have been talking about for over three years but never wrote ONE word in all that time....I am finally writing. I needed an external push and I am getting it. I am so fortunate and so grateful. I am being given a shot...I will not mess this up.
I am on my path and I will persevere.
Come sit a spell and shoot the breeze. Sweeten the day with a little synchronicity...

Good for you girl!! A publisher interested!! How wonderful!! (H)
Better late then never?
Hi MM,
That's great - very good for you!! You've asked me about if I've thought of writing a book, and I'm not sure what I would want to say or why. I admire your spirit and determination (even if you feel like a procrastinator) - I'll be the first to purchase your book when it's ready. Count me in.
You can only ever write one word at a time. You go for it.
yay!! gooooOOO, MERELYME!!
When you having the burning desire to write.. its always a good sign. You determination have created the flame and you allowed the burning to grow stronger everyday.
Hugs, Jim
MM, I am thrilled at this news. Yes, we do often look at all there is to be done and not at all we have achieved in a day. Living 'one day at a time' is my motto. When I deviate from it, I suffer. I deviate when I am ill. Like now. Nothing I get done feels worthwhile because I know I am destined to return to my bed soon.
However, you are writing your book now. Praise God! You go girl.
Keep at it. Sometimes the hard way is the only way, you have to push yourself beyond the feelings and the things holding you back, it feels difficult and hard and strange but then before you know it you're rolling again for a while.
i quote myself "if I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be called to"
one foot in front of the other.
To every season...and perhaps you are simply entering yours? Keep forging ahead...it will come.
