| Hi All, I'm resuming my novel - The Sequel to The Loveable Resident - titled KICK. I am getting warmed up with the story of Mike Oates and his wife Lauren. I am finding that there's a story about them after their lives in the first of the series of the Loveable Resident. I am particularly interested in the characters that I have introduced in the first book. They are like old friends who I haven't had a chance to develop. I think that series are a good way to get more interesting plotlines and this novel is well on its way. But other things get in the way and that's alright. I think noodling on the story takes time. I've been busy with other projects that have taken my time. I've also been through some lows. I've been laid low by negative thoughts and these are gremlins that haunt me every day. Today is no different. I have to plug away at the life I've been given. It's not a bad life, despite the negativity that I get from every where and every one who don't like me for some reason. I think that I'm a good person, and I give to charity, and pay my taxes. I earn some money from my work so it's not like I'm just sitting here like some retirees who don't get much done. I don't think retirement should stop anyone from doing good work. We ought to have a plan B for a retired life. Plan A has gone out the window, haha. This pandemic is a challenge, for sure. We all need to look into our own thoughts and see what we need to discard and keep. You need to keep up with the news of the day. You have to keep up with looking decent. No more overgrown beards, or long hair that's been keeping you looking sad. I have been cutting my own hair, haha. One time my stepfather asked me if I could trim his hair. It wasn't that bad. All those salon visits I've made have given me a way to cut hair decently. We all have to pull our strength. We need to get an optimistic mood as much as we can and if we're in some pain, there's always some pain meds to take. Don't be shy with taking them if you're in pain. Old age is a thing that we have to deal with but we can't allow ourselves to be old in our thoughts, or in our own bodies. We must try to be spry and find activities that will keep our bodies from deteriorating. We can't sit in a chair all day and let those gremlins settle in our bones. Let's try to get out of our chairs every so often and do some chore or have a way to do something that's going to focus our minds. Wandering minds are a bad thing. We should try to do reading, a book or magazine. I think taking up a hobby will help. I knit and crochet and I've finished several projects that way. So I hope that today you can start on your way to being the person you want to be. |
