Just Me

  Decided to take it easy today. I do the cleaning and assorted chores six days a week and want one day “off.” So I took it! Today was also my day not to drive anywhere. I try to have at least one day a week where I don’t drive, because it helps the environment.   And it was a nice, relaxing day. I am thankful for that.   Tomorrow is Monday and that means we gotta get back to work! My kids go to school and I tackle my To Do lists.   Here are 6 things I have to celebrate from today. I am very excited and happy about the first one!   1. I finished typing up all of my songs. YAY!! There are 43 total. I have not found two that I lost; I only have the chorus for one song and one page of lyrics for the other. I would LIKE to find them. I don't think I can rewrite them, but we'll see. So now my lyrics are all typed up and in one place. NOW WHAT???   2. I completed EVERYTHING on my To Do list for the day.   3. I had a very nice relaxi...

  I was feeling bummed today. Apparently, my goal to learn 12 Things this year has now turned into 11 Things. As I wrote in the post that will be published at the end of the month, August was a bust. The thing I wanted to learn didn't happen. Neither did the second thing I wanted to learn in place of it. So I decided to change ALL the remaining things. I still want to learn something each month for the rest of the year. But ... WHAT?? Wellll.....something that happened today gave me my answer: WRITING THINGS! I still need to learn how to write copy, scripts, and the thing I will be learning next. And, in fact, it is the first item I have to celebrate. #1: I posted on Facebook that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the song lyrics I am typing after I am done typing ALL of them. When a friend suggested that pursuing songwriting professionally just might be a new creative outlet for me to try, I started to think, Maybe I can still do this. I told my friend that I would lov...

  Here are 7 things I have to celebrate from today   1. I finished reading a novel ( Bronwyn's Bane by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough -- GOOD BOOK!!) 2. I had waffles for breakfast. Yummy! 3. My youngest got a new pair of shoes for free today, along with a free backpack for school. He also won a laptop! And he was never heard from again.... (LOL) 4. Hubby made a very nice dinner this evening. 5. I typed up 5 of the songs I wrote when I was a teenager. One of them is one of my favorites; a rap I wrote called "Please." (Yes! I used to write rap songs!) I'd forgotten how long it was! Now if only I could find another favorite song that I wrote.... 6. I revised a short story that I have been stumped on how to fix. I was thinking about how to fix it for all of last week. I THINK I have it right this time.... but not entirely sure. Maybe I need to just let it sit for a little longer. 7. I got an idea this morning for a 3-book series for three nonfiction books (one written, one a...
