Home Again
I got back today from a several day trip to Memphis for a family reunion. I had a great time. It’s always nice to visit with family, especially those you don’t see very often.
It was a restful vacation. I hardly did any work, except catching up on some reading. I read Writing to Change the World from cover to cover. It was really good.
I enjoyed my trip but I am very glad to be home now. When I was younger I loved to travel, but now I don’t like to be away from home for more than a few days. When I’m away I miss my husband, my cats, my own bed, my usual routine. That’s boring perhaps, but there it is.
Part of being home is getting back to work, and I’m doing that slowly. I hope to be able to get back into the thick of things tomorrow and start being productive again—writing a lot, getting things done, sending out submissions. I’ve really been slacking off and that must stop.
I’m nearly forty. It’s not like I have all that much time left in which to accomplish my dreams. I better get to it.
