Ugh. Today went by too fast, meaning I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped I would.

I wish I could play the ukelele. It seems like a critical skill to have. #life

I need to run some errands.

Weird observation: Lately, many people I’ve run into and “on the air” have apparently learned the word “bespoke”. I hear it all over now. #writing #character #grammar

Happy National Acorn Squash Day

Good morning, everyone. Focus and move forward. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Gah! The last time I went to CA was 4 years ago. #travel

Just because you think things would be different if you had done something else, doesn’t mean things would be better. #life #tao

Backup pen selected: Travelers Company Brass (F) w/included cartridge ink. #fountainpen @gouletpens

Plan for tomorrow: work on the writing app (ios) work on the stock candlestick app (Python) run errands get stuff ready for C3 get outside.

It’s time to switch gears. I need to play some games…

I don’t have all the answers. I do know what questions matter. #life

What hurts more? A physical wound/attack or an emotional/psychic one? Yes, I know a physical wound is short-lived. That’s not my question. Serious question. #life #writing

Is it still “imposter syndrome” if you do better than those you are mimicking? (No, I’m not speaking of myself. This is a philosophical question.)

It’s almost baking season. I tend to bake in the autumn->early spring. #baking

“Why Me?” A title everyone can identify with. #writing #prompt Feel free to use it.

I’m doing a read-through of my thriller after a couple of years. It’s good. I’m surprised. It’s almost as if I know what I’m doing. I think I’ll get someone else to edit it, however. #writing #thriller #editing

“I’m trying to get my life in order.” “If you don’t embrace the chaos, you cannot understand the order.” #life #character #writing

We are all challenged. How we react speaks to who we are. How we deal with failure speaks volumes. #life #success

There is beauty even in poison ivy and snakes. The superficial is not what you should seek. #life #success #tao

Life is black and white. Some people want to hide in the gray. #life #success #failure #tao

Make someone smile. Make someone’s life better. Help those that do good. Ease suffering. Do not hurt where holding is enough. #life #success

My mind is always full. That’s a blessing and a curse. The problem is that it fills faster than I can empty it, and I can’t do everything I wish I could. Time isn’t my enemy, I am. #life
