Good morning! By the time I made it to the porch, the cats were demanding their breakfast and the sun was a big ball sending pure gold beams across the front yard and onto a tree trunk along the fence row of the pasture. The air is delicious! A perfect temperature–paradise weather, and no gnats bothering me!

I’ve got things to do today. I cannot imagine not having things to do. In my lifetime, I have never been bored. There’s so much interesting to read, for one thing–and if I don’t like a book I start, I get another. And so many interesting things to try to make, like order. I like to make order, but somehow when doing that, I’m always making disorder somewhere else. I guess that’s what keeps me having things to do. I have at times wanted not to have things to do, but somehow my mind just keeps thinking up more for me to do. And yes, this ‘things to do’ mindset is a way to get through hard times. It is a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I’m off to enjoy the yard a bit, and then some hours writing on my novel. I reached an interesting place with it yesterday–the heroine had something to do. 🙂

Sending love and hugs, and grateful for all of you!
