SUNDRY THOUGHTS AND WORDS....

When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I wrote down happy.

They told me I didn't understand the assignment,
I told them they didn't understand life

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need. ~Vernon Howard

Slacking Deluxe! But not really

I'm sure you must be thinking that I am slacking deluxe on writing in my blog....but I've just been busy with living :)  Don't know if I've mentioned but I've been spending a lot of time at the gym trying to get healthy and fit....yes even at 63.  It's a lot of hard work that has to be done 5-6 times a week.  But it is so worth it.   I believe I am in the best fitness I've ever been in my whole life. (Well except maybe for 1996 when I lived in San Antonio and landscaped around my home for 90 days in a row!)

The urge to return to my writing has been tickling my mind lately and so I need to try to work that into my schedule.....the fact hasn't changed that "in order to be a successful writer...you have to write!"

I'm still working on my novel "The Magic Teacup" and I'm considering attending a meeting of the San Gabriel Writers because they are having an open mic night to read poetry.

I will write more.  Have a great day!
