Top of the day to you fellow citizens of the world!
It's another day to be creative and still take time to smell the flowers. I sent in another As It Stands column to the Times-Standard yesterday - A Race for the Future and one for the Past. The editor now has a choice of what to run for the next month! Of course I can't just stop writing. There's still the McKinleyville Press. Yesterday's As It Stands in there was titled: No Mooning in McKinleyville. Next week's column is on Tree-shrews who can out booze any human! I think readers will get a laugh from that one.
Then there's my New (as yet untitled) Book that is steaming along like a locomotive rolling through a landscape of words and pages!
There's unlimited potential out there right now, and not just for me. If you choose to, you can keep me company. Life's way too short not to take advantage of every hour you are awake.
I start every morning with s short prayer thanking God for the day and committing myself to missions - no matter how big or small - I tackle them all.
