Creativity on the Horizon...

After taking a break from writing, I'm going to start back at it again.  I want to start off by editing "The Shepherdess Princess," and then go to work on another story idea I have for a poetry devotional book based on scriptures taken from the Bible.  The poetry devotional will be a short 30 or 31-day pocket devotional I will talk to my pastor, or the church office about printing up copies to hand out to my local church congregation.


I already have the first verse picked out for it, but have yet to write a poem to go along with it.

I don't know when I'll be able to get back into the swing of things because the next couple of months are already filling up with appointments.  It may be April or May before I can take a breather.


Also, my mom is not doing well.  I am waiting for a phone call from my sister to let me know when to come see her one final time.  We hope she will last through the winter because the roads are impassable where she lives right now.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

It has been quite the year!

I ended up in the hospital on Labor Day, and had to have surgery for an abscess on my caboose.  I have been in the local rehab center since September 10th recovering, and receiving wound care.  I won't go home until I'm completely healed.
Today the activity director asked me what I want for Christmas in the event that I am still here.  I replied that I want to be home for Christmas.  I have a lot of friends and family anxious for me to get home, and I am too.  If I am home by Christmas, someone else will get the gift I picked out.
The only reason I am not already completely healed is because we were under quarantine for several weeks, and I was confined to my room for the duration.
I have a couple months worth of appointments I had to cancel while I have been recovering.  I'm looking forward to be able to get them arranged when I get home.

Update November 28, 2018:

I was discharged yesterday, and glad to be home.  I'm taking things slow, and adjusting to being back.
