Rest & Thankfulness

Maybe, just maybe, I need to hibernate. I’ve been sleepy ever since December got here. Maybe I’m falling for the new study that says we all need more sleep. We’d be healthier and happier (read less grumpy) if we got more sleep.

I’ve got to agree. Of course, Maxx agrees also, but then most dogs can sleep many more hours than their humans.

I met a lady once who said that according to the stars, we were supposed to do much like the animals and in December we should get more sleep. I like to think I’m more creative when I get enough sleep. So, there is the excuse I need–more sleep will help my writing.   Happy Holidays!

Received three great reviews from Reader’s Favorite. Now for that nap:)

Breathtaking

Just when I think I’ve sort of got a handle on finding out what is really important in life, someone, in this case Maxx, makes me see that I don’t have a clue.

I’ve been rushing around trying to finish the next book and Mother Nature hits us with a winter freeze. Now, what those two things have in common (the book and frigid weather) is that many people are affected by this weather, and no one is affected if my book doesn’t make it to Amazon immediately.

The result is I have slowed to consider front and back matter in the book. I actually meditated today. And Maxx has chased the ball a lot but will do more tomorrow.

What happened—it’s those big brown eyes that shows a dog does have empathy, and he does need attention, and he gives big returns on love.

Home

When do we start calling a place home? I started calling the different house “home” the first night I slept there. We (I’m including Maxx in this because he whines when we get near home) were eager to get into new digs. Photo from Unsplash by Annie Spratt

Maxx has already settled into home by napping in the sunshine or running after a squirrel. I began being more at home after unpacking a few boxes and setting up the computer for writing. I have been pretty good at writing something everyday since we’ve moved.

Sometimes I only get a few sentences done, but I try to not be too hard on myself. I’m still learning and will continue to learn about this craft called writing as I settle into a new home.
