 Change is Constant

As the heat continues in North Carolina, United States, and other parts of the world, my thought are looking to the future. Not the future of the world, I am not that philosophical.  I am not the person that get upset when summer ends. I would rather be warm than cold, but I would rather be a tad bit chilly and have to put a sweater on, than to be a bit warm.  Do you follow that logic? 

i am longing for the day of pumpkin spice lattes and cider doughnuts. 


 

As the fall season slowly approaches these words come to mine.  Back in the 1960's, I enjoyed the song, Turn, Turn, Turn by the Byrds, written by Pete Seeger. When I discovered where the lyrics came from I enjoyed the song even more.

 

Ecclesiastes 3    King James Version

 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

Until next time,  stay positive and create something.

  I enjoyed writing my first book.  I didn't make a lot of money, but I was proud of myself.  I was on Amazon.com, Kindle, and paperback. I bought a copy of each for myself. I didn't care if the money wasn't flowing in, I was hooked on writing. I wanted my next book to be for older children. The illustrations in the first book were beautiful, but it raises the cost of printing.  My next book would have a few pencil sketches just to give the reader something to focus on.   I wanted the book to be affordable to everyone.  Times With Terry , I don't want to be here, was created.  My good friend Marla Banta drew the sketches and I had my second book on Amazon.  Things were changing for me.  I was ready to write my next book.  Terry had  unfinished business, so I thought I should go back to her character and continue her story. Times With Terry , I know what I have to do was born.  If you thought about writing, painting, or if ...

Did I tell you?  I thought I did.... 💭 No?  👎 Okay,  I will tell you now. I am a Toastmaster.🗣  Have you heard of Toastmasters?  I had no idea what it was, I just followed a Meet-up post I saw on line. I knew where I was going, the meeting was in a nursing home I drove past every day. I entered the door, signed in and followed the signs with arrows; right, left, bare left, right, and there it was.  The door to the Toastmasters meeting.  I was debating if I should enter the room, and I decided to go in.  How bad could it be? If I don't like it, I will not leave, I just will not return.   I was welcomed by all the members, and I felt comfortable from the start.  When it came to the first prepared speech, the Toastmaster presented a rendition of "The Glass Managree." She was amazing. BUT: I said to myself, if I have to do that, I am out of here.  The next speech was a story type and I relaxed.   I returned the next week, and I...
