Thornton Wilder
Hmm! This is not the entry that goes with this date. I have this one already published in hard copy. There was a poem here. What is going on?
Feel so blessed by the things that are happening around me. There is some light entering what seemed like a dark place. That light is a treasure. I am seeing that light in everything, even in rejections that would have once stung like the dickens. I see the story as just that "a story"...take it or leave it. I am not that attached to it. I no longer see my stories as extensions of me, as children I need to promote and protect. I no longer see other opinion as the absolute measure of who I am as a writer and as a person.I see the truth in it and I learn and accept because of it without allowing it to determine who I believe I am. I am not going to stop writing because of it and may even get better because of it. It is all so good!
Spring is here. The snow is finally melting. The temperatures are mild and the sunlight, when it is out, is absolutely amazing. Bird song everywhere!!! My children are well; my siblings are well; D, is well and my life is absolutely the biggest treasure of all.
Oh...and I have a new washer. After six months of flooding to the basement...I have a lovely new washer in my laundry room, thanks to D. and his bonus at work. That is just one of the many little treasures in my life right now. :)
All is well.
