Days 3 and 4
So, I never promised I’d blog every day, now did I? As it happens, I did some serious worrying on Friday night, but I talked it out with Husband and it got better–imagine that. Yesterday was the monthly IRWA meeting, which was fun and enlightening and just plain enjoyable. I loved seeing all my romance writing buddies, getting to know a couple of them a little better, and having pizza after the meeting. A big question about my job in the organization (which, yes I had tucked into the knot in my stomach because . . . well . . .it’s me) got resolved in a very good way, so…

It went pretty well today. Oh, the knot’s still there and yeah, I perseverated over a thing or two, but mostly, a calm day. I finished a big editing gig and yes, okay, I went over it one extra time, but only because this one is for a really, really big-name author and her big-name publisher.

Wednesday Gratitude in Michigan
Yeah, I missed yesterday, but I’ll be double thankful today. Here goes: Lovely hotel room here in Muskegon–gorgeous view and so very comfy.

Chocolate (random, I know, but I’m enjoying some fudge we got in Pentwater today and it’s really good). I wrote last night–made some decisions about where to go from here–feels great! Shilled our books to some ladies at a fruit stand today–could mean some sales. Gorgeous watching the kite boarders today. Swimming I remembered more than I thought I would…things haven’t changed all…

Monday Gratitude
This list is easy–it’s been a lovely day and I am feeling particularly blessed. The car did great as we traveled today and I figured out why Gigi–the GPS–wanted to take us down all the country roads. It was actually a treat. Liz and I are very companionable and travel well together. Gorgeous hotel in Muskegon–amazing staff and a beautiful big room. Son is doing well and seems happy. That’s always a blessing. Lake Michigan is so comforting–it is home.
