Five things I thought about during my morning run:
1. Such a gorgeous morning for a run. Sky is blue. A bit of a cool breeze against the heat. Ni-ice. 2. Angst. Okay so I’m 7 months away from the release of SCRAPBOOK OF SECRETS. My emotions about it are everywhere—excited, proud, scared, dread. The dread is about the marketing stuff, which all writers have to come to terms with now. And once I am in it, it’s not so bad. It’s just that thinking about it can be overwhelming. 3. But I am finding a lot of support with other...

1.I never run on Wednesdays because my Yoga class is tonight. But since I didn’t get to run yesterday… 2. Field of wildflowers, so many shades of purple and green. Bits of yellow and white. 3. My mom is pulling through all of this with spirit. I think she has her ups and downs. We all hope that she will get strong enough soon that she can leave her apartment when she wants. But for now she is stuck to that oxygen. 4. My father-in-law is pulling throguh his open-heart surgery, too....

1. Yoga. My Yoga class is one of the best things in my life right now. I’m grateful for it. 2. Sweetness. My daughter’s friend Tess (yes my Tess has a friend named Tess) stayed with us last night. I could hear their conversations, their giggles, and they settled down very quickly and slept. My Tess was being such a good hostess making sure the other Tess was comfortable. 3. My mom back in the hospital. She is now going to have to be on oxygen for the time being. There is a lot of...

1. I know I shouldn’t be running outside on the pavement–it’s so hard on my knees. But it’s such a perfect morning for a run. The air is cool. 2. Thinking hard about my mom, who is in the hospital in Pa. Waiting on a call from my sister this morning to see what the doc has to say. 3. Speaking of doctors–I need to take Emma to one today as well. I think she might have a sinus infection. 4. Little rabbits everywhere. 5. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it

1. Several of my “old guys” at the gym today. One looks like Hemingway, another looks like Faulkner. 2. I think I’d much rather hang out with Hemingway. Even though he was sexist, at least he’d get to the point. I’m afraid I wouldn’t last two minutes with Faulkner. 3. Though I do appreciate his writing. 4. In any case, I’m staying away from both of the look-a-likes today. Focused. 5. I won’t be checking in as much on my blog and FB, friends....

1. The heat so early in June. According to the Weather Channel App it’s 79, feels like 81, and it’s only about 9 a.m. 2. A shiny-leafed Magnolia branch falling in my path. 3. Walking to to the top of the hill and seeing one of my favorite people out for a walk with her dog. It’s going to be a great day! 4. Steampunk romance. Fascinating. I’m reading a book in this genre called The Iron Duke and am enjoying it. 5. I wish I could get to the gym this morning, but it will...
