Thank you, to you and you, and yes even you:)
I am going to throw this out there and put these at the top of the blog. Since we follow each other on the blogs, maybe we can connect on other platforms. To get to know each other even better, please join me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and the blog.
The funny thing about life is this. You truly never know where you will end up, who you will meet, and when. I am very grateful for the many people who are interacting with my blog.
My journey began a few years back when I wrote my first book. The book writing got a great big shove with COVID and the lockdowns. So thank you COVID, I guess?
My mom always used to say, “In everything good, there is something bad and in everything bad, there is something good.”
A bad breakup, getting fired, let go and numerous other things sometimes have a silver lining. Missing a bus for example was a blessing for some on 9/11.
Life goes on.
While it is hard to pick up the pieces, things will usually work out in the end. I never thought I would be a writer when my family business closed. I never imagined that I would live in Bali at this point in my life.
Sometimes fate will make things happen. I am far from religious but I do believe in the idea of things are moving in the right direction. I don’t attribute that to any single thing but here is an example.
I had my books, they were written and stored on my laptop and in the cloud when I reconnected with Janet a high school friend. We got talking and I told her about the books/novels I had. She agreed to edit them for me and bam, we had some books.
Shit happens.
Shit happens and often we get down when it does. However, if we look around, things could be worse.
We ask ourselves why me…
If I knew, I would be in a very different profession. I don’t, so I am here writing about this instead. Anyway, the idea is that we can all be grateful towards each other and support one another. We have all had different experiences in life and we draw upon those experiences for our creativity.
I made it a goal for myself to blog every day for a year. It has not been easy. At times it has been hard to blog about something more than what I had for breakfast. Nothing is easy but we need to push ourselves to break out of the comfort zone we are in. So here is to you, you and you… Yes, even you at the back hiding behind your laptop screen at Starbucks. Oh yes and you in the dark with the laptop… oh sorry I didn’t mean to interrupt.
But yes that is today’s blog. I am at 232 blogs at the moment. I can see the finish line to 365.
Thank you once more for your support.
Oh, Janet, who is editing this…
Thanks for the support.
This is blog 235.
