Eat, sleep and recover… I think that covers what most folks will be doing throughout this first week of 2024. 

Personally, I’m attempting to tidy up the Lobby and get back on track with the differing projects calling for my attention. I’ve already changed out all the pictures for each page on my site, so now I am reflecting on the daily themes I used last year, to decide what should remain and what needs changing… it’s hard! Do I change it all up again or does that get on peoples nerves? Sometimes change is good, but at other times we take comfort and reassurance from a steady routine. 

One thing that stays, without any thought at all, is the Lobby! This is a resting place for any and all who pass through, so I take my place in the Lobby very seriously. My desire is to keep it always bright, fragrant and free of things just laying around. Fortunately, God is the tender of our fountain, so there is no need to call in a maintenance worker for that. I pretty much just need to fluff the pillows and do my hair, so I can’t complain!

Definitely keeping Note to Self and Live Wire! By writing to you on these two topics, I’m learning so much by all the reading, research and application of what I’m studying. Sometimes, it even feels like I have hundreds of Study Buddies here on WordPress, when you read and comment on things you’ve read while visiting.

This year is shaping up to be a very busy one, what with trying to finish Brutus, as well as getting Tilly published. I have two new stories brewing in my brain, so I have to get busy and get all this stuff out of my head and onto paper… I’m NOT getting the best sleep due to the literary storms raging inside my brain! It can often seem like I have about 6 virtual television shows running at the same time, all vying for my attention. Ahhhhh… the life of a writer it is for me! I thrive on this stuff! Part of me feels bad that you guys get hit twice a day with all my wordage, but not enough to stop… to quote a line from the show Castle, played by Nathan Fillian, “It’s what I do”!

I think that I will use Tuesdays through Fridays will be wild cards because I currently don’t want to do anything beyond my coffee cup… It’s New Years Day for crying out loud…

Let’s all dip a cookie in our morning beverages…
