DISTURBANCES AREN'T ALL BAD!
I’ll begin this month’s newsletter with WRITING NEWS. And it’s huge!!! I wrote THE END on my novella on Friday, and I’m surprised the seismologists in Arizona didn’t register an earthquake from my dancing around.
As I reported two months ago in my newsletter, computer problems stopped my forward motion with the book I was writing. But that’s not all—Covid knocked on our door too? I remember yelling, “Can I catch a break here? I need to finish this novella.”
Our symptoms consisted of aches and pains, a slight fever, and we averaged nine to ten hours of sleep a night. I am surprised Fitbit didn’t email us and ask if we’d given them to someone else or thrown them away. HA!!! And we never lost our smell or taste.
During our ten days of quarantine, we played Cribbage, watched way too much HGTV, took naps, AND I thought about this disturbance that took me away from writing.
In the end, I found out it worked in my favor. It gave me time to rest. Don’t we all need to refresh, take a breather, and have an adult version of time out occasionally to regroup?
Here are a few ideas I came up with to help you face those hectic days:
PS: Please let me know how you plan to rest and relax. I’d love to hear your ideas!!!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Here are a few ideas I came up with to help you face those hectic days:
- Remember to take a break. Say no. The world won’t end if we’re not participating for a day or two.
- Relax and read a book (preferably one of mine – HA!!!).
- Take a mini vacation, even if it’s for an hour in your living room. Let the worries of this world melt away. At the end of the time, leave your anxieties at the Lord’s feet…where they belong.

Until next time...
