Life should be fun. With time zipping on, I feel I need to STOP and listen to a child giggle or a dog pant. Simple things that make us feel good. For the past several months I haven't been doing that.
Well, at the moment the edits are coming in on Impact For Murder, due out Sept. 2010. This experience caused me to reflect deep inside myself and STOP and have some fun. So in the middle of these edits, I'm putting them aside--and went to Nate's house last night to stay with his children while he ran to the grocery to pick up a few things. I took a book, sat back (cause the kids were already in bed), and enjoyed myself for about an hour and a half. Oh, the book I read? THE WAYS OF KHREM, by D. Nathan Hilliard (yes, he and "Nate" are the same person).
Today, I worked on a novel I had started back in January and it felt good to visit with this old friend. Our dogs, Yadar, Brie, Cheyenne, and Hannah were all in the office with me--I love that! Also, today, I spent time in the garden weeding. My heart is saturated with the good of everyday living and my husband is still the flutter of butterfly wings in my soul!
It's all good--and I'm moving forward.
Happy Trails,
Cherri
Sometimes it's good, even when you're pressed for time, to just stop and take a deep breath. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and not see the bigger picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog! We should always stop and smell the roses.

Diana,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, we all need to STOP and take a breather...if only to regroup and pat our inner child on the back once in awhile.
