Reflect on Reflecting

Time for reflection.

Yes I realize it’s not the end of the year for this, but it is almost the end of another month.  That in itself is enough reason as any to reflect on things.

Well, let’s see.  This past month I’ve successfully gotten back to the routine of getting the kids up and ready for school.  And this time I’m not a zombie when I get up in the mornings.  And for those of you who know me very well, I don’t do well with mornings.  Especially when I am so comfy in bed, dreaming away.

Then I’ve been spending the last 3 weeks looking for my exercise book where I have my next book planned out, all 16 chapters.  But to no avail, I’ve come up empty. Other then turning this house upside down and shaking the crap out of it, I’m going to need a miracle.  I’m not a religious person, but I even asked Saint Anthony for help in locating it.  Still nothing.  So unless “he” or someone else finds it and throws it at me, I might have to end up thinking what I had written down, and start over again.  *facepalm*  This could be a while.

Then I’ve been helping a friend with his new business adventure.  So this weekend, you will see what I’ve been up too.  Well providing you are going to the sci-fi convention in Corner Brook this Saturday and Sunday.  If you did go, I hope  you enjoy the shirts.

I’ll have more things to write about later, but for now I’ll just leave you on this note:  Take the time to really appreciate nature around you.  Find a quiet place, free from noises from traffic and people, to find a place where you are truly alone.  Sit down and take in all the sights and sounds around you.  Letting go of all the worries you put on yourselves on a daily basis and live in this one peaceful moment.  I bet when you do, you will be a totally different person when leaving, then you were when you arrived.

Until next time,

And It Starts….

With just a couple more days left to go and all my sanity will be put to the test.  So much to do before holidays that I’m getting lost if all the stuff on the to-do list.

The usual housework, editing and writing my sequel, I’m hoping there’s time in there for just me.  But I doubt it.  Plus tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids and I don’t see me getting half the stuff done as I’d like before.

And before I go to far ahead,, yes, I’ve changed things up again.  I think this is the one I’ll stick with for a while.  Or at least until they come up with another theme that I like more.  I hope that eventually I’ll find one that is more in tune to who I am.  But for now, you will have to put up with my constant changing my mind, lol

Anyway,,,,

I think I’ll start posting some ideas for future books on here.  Then again, it could end up for some other persons book.  I’ve been asked if I ever thought about writing about Autism, seeing as I have a child with it.  I have, but there’s so many books out there about the same thing that I didn’t see having another one out on shelves about it too.  But then again, as it was pointed out to me, that my experiences concerning Autism is totally different then the others as they are either written by doctors, or other parents from their own experiences.  So I guess the idea of doing one from my own point of view, and how it has effected me is still an option.  Though, if I do, I know right now that there will be people that might get offended by it.  And I know what some people will say, “that’s their problem,” or “write it anyway, it’s your book, write what you want.”  As much as you are all correct in saying that, and it does make sense, I should write what I like, but in the back of my mind, I know some people won’t feel that same way.

I do have an idea of a collection of short stories to put into a book, an idea I got from a friend who’s done the same thing.  Or a book of poems.  But I only have a few of those that I actually wrote.  So here’s something for you all to put in your 2 cents.  Give me some ideas as to what to write about.  Topics or general ideas.  But for the love of God, don’t say I should write about characters of TV shows.  I’m sort of doing that now and it’s a real headache.

I’m reading a book by John Scalzi – Agent of the Stars, and I must say, it’s a pretty interesting book.  Mind you I’ve only just started it the other day, but I like it.

Sorry to cut this short, I have a house problem that needs my attention.  The joys of owning your own place. It’s times like this I wish we were still renting, 🙂

Anyway, until next time.
