Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

So, I think I’ve come to an agreement with myself on time. I wake up before the dawn on most mornings, get my coffee, feed the obnoxious cat, and almost immediately start dithering about which to do first while everything is quiet. My stuff, or stuff for work. Well, no more. Dawn, I have decided, [...]

I wanted to write about something today. But, as usual when I’ve neglected writing too long, the habit of silence is strong and I can think of nothing to say. Birds are singing outside my window.

I woke up early enough this morning to catch the dawn light and thoughts. I won’t say I accomplished as much as I want to, but I’ve made a start, and that’s the important part. Okay, well, finishing is also important, but you can’t finish what you don’t begin. Hah. Of course, that’s not true [...]

You know those people – they say they get up before dawn, grab their coffee and then sit down and clatter out thousands of words before the morning paper even hits the door?   Yeah, that’s not me. I so want it to be but I am not, I have discovered, an early morning writer. [...]

So, finally – FINALLY! -  my genius has put in an appearance and has allowed me a glimmer of what to do with Human Beams. I had despaired of this happening because, while I have had plan after plan, nothing really seemed to fit. Or, at least, didn’t excite me enough to make it fit. [...]

I haven’t a clue, but isn’t it cute? I guess it’s a gecko since that is what Paul Anderson calls it in the post I lifted this from. It’s funny – when I first clicked over to the post from the rss feed, I thought I’d already read it yesterday, so moved on. Then I [...]

… if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up. Anne Lamott I should have found this quote the other day but it will do just as well for today. Dawn is sometimes a long time breaking. I [...]
