I had such high hopes for this month. I thought for sure I’d be over the crud that kept me down through February and yet…
Even with fighting this respiratory virus that mutates every other week, I am amazed at how many blessings God has poured out over my life. I have wonderful friends who continue to send encouraging notes or drop by with Chai tea to let me know I’m loved. My husband’s patience at having soup, yet again, for dinner. And I’ve been able to get ahead on the reviews I have to do this month.
The puppies are finally settling down, a little anyway. And with the improving weather they’ve been able to frolic outside while I rest on the recliner. Of course, that leads to a number of impromptu baths in the kitchen sink because of the mud! Below is a picture of Maizey, looking very pleased with her adventures.
And just when I succumbed to frustration that I wasn’t getting any writing done, God sent me two emails in one day. One was from an editor who wanted to buy a short humor piece I’d sent in on a whim. The other was for a piece I’d submitted to Chicken Soup for the Soul ages ago. I’d honestly forgotten I’d even sent it!
This new anthology will come out in May! I’ll keep you updated on the details!
I hope, the next time I blog, I’ll be able to tell you I’m up and healthy and busy with marketing Woman of Flames. If not, I’ll continue to praise God for His daily blessings of medicine, food, Kleenex and a warm bed! I would love to hear from you and how God has blessed you this month!
