It started this morning with this sweety holding down the foot of my recliner while knitting.
Made progress on my dragon.

I found this interesting about age groups learning languages. I hope those who are not on Duolingo can read it, too.
The dragon is looking like a dragon.
My new NaNoWriMo goal to add another 20k to the memoir.
My friend shared a Maypole in May Day. I shared with her how my mom said they danced around the Maypole. Then they would share baskets of flowers on neighbors’ porches. After sharing this my friend shared the above article.
Wouldn’t it be great to celebrate life by sharing kindness?
Almost finished with my dragon.
Second sock nearly caught up with first sock. Heels start tomorrow.
And memoir is coming along.
Here’s what made me happy.
Here’s the healthy.
Kali was cute. Last time I tried to take her for a walk she wouldn’t let me put her harness on. She had to stay home.
Today I was putting on my shoes. She let me know she didn’t want to be left behind. She laid still while I put on her harness.
Oh the walk she wanted to jog. So we did a few steps. Then I got winded. She pulled on me.
We went down a street we haven’t walked for a while. I nearly had to pull her. Once we got to our street, she knew where she was and wanted to run. I gave her a few more jogs then back to walking. She pulled me again.
This was fun today. When my glue dots quit working I used the QuickStik. It worked very well!
There isn’t much finished since yesterday, but the spa slipper is nearly to the heel stage.
When I post this, I plan to write a new scene for my book rewrite. This part of the writing process is harder than that first read/edit. I have to think more while trying to keep my creative brain open to new ideas. So there’s that. I’ll let you know if the scene works out.
How’s your Friday?
More progress on the dragon. I’m loving the ruler for straighter lines.
I brushed on the frame for the sunset. Not sure I like it. Maybe I’ll try to get a regular frame. Or see if I can make it nicer.
My editing seems stalled. But maybe if I plant myself at the laptop right now, I can find my way to words–good ones, I hope.
Sometimes something amazing happens. An answer to prayer shows up so unexpectedly.
Today I found out I can afford my cataract surgery. My daughter by marriage told us she’s sent the money. I’m blown away. I’ve been crying off and on all day.
Love you, H.❤💕💜🙏🙏😇
Sometimes in a person’s life they need more ‘atta girl’s. Not always. Sometimes just everyday keeps us going. But I have found that when I feel least alive and I can’t find motivation for even breathing, I need to stop and take stock of my day, week, life. While it is nice when others congratulate me. I find my own boost in saying, “Look at that! Look what you survived, created, loved!”
This blog has been that for me. Day-to-day can be dull. Downright angsty. Especially these last two years. So I am learning to see small accomplishments. Not earth-shattering wins. But things that make me smile and feel alive.
Today’s win is I ran out of Haven 2 to edit. There were 52,053 words altogether. There was no ‘the end’ and quite a few undeveloped characters, scenes, and plot bunnies to work on. I have a better working title: Haven, Above, Beneath, Beyond. My next step is to work toward 60k a full story, minus stuff that needs to be deleted.
I wish my phone captured these as my eyes see them.
