Hello Readers,
Yes I know once again I am off track. I swear sometimes I should learn not to make promises. I do apologize and I am really going to try my best to get my blog back on track. I have been working steadily on my book and am so excited with how the story is progressing. I get really excited when I am writing it as I can picture my characters in action. Even though I know what the book is about I really don’t have a plan on how the story will go till I start writing so that makes it so much fun for me. I never plan out what will happen next so not only am I the author but I am also the reader.
Now I do have somewhat of an excuse for not having a post in a while. Every year in the beginning of the new year it never fails that I either get a severe case of Bronchitis or Pneumonia and this year I ended up at Urgent Care with Bronchitis/Pneumonia. It took me three weeks to get back to feeling like a human again. The older I get the longer it seems it takes to heal my body. Also I have a very shitty immune system and no matter what I try to do to change that it just does not seem to work. Ok now that I got that out of of my system I can now get back to what I love doing best and that is writing.
This winter has been one of those unusual ones. It was a lot colder then what most of us desert rats are used to. It has also been a lot wetter and cloudier than I have seen since moving here in 2006. This week however I am happy to say our Palm Springs weather is back to being Palm Springs weather. We have been enjoying nice sunny days and the temperatures are back up in the seventies and next week we will be back in the eighties. This is such a beautiful time around here. Since we have had more rain then ever this winter the mountains had more snow then I have seen in years. It is so nice to be able to sit outside and work in shorts and a tee and look at the mountains with all the snow on them. This inspires me to write.
This year is going to also be a great year for the wildflowers. I am looking forward to seeing all the blooms we will have. The desert is getting ready to come to life and a lot of my time will be spent outdoors enjoying all of it. My best writing happens when I am surrounded by beauty and fresh air so I am hoping to get some major chapters done this week.
My patio is now serving as my office and it feels so good not to be surrounded by four walls. I have my hummingbirds keeping me constantly amused. They just love to come over to me and see what I am doing. My spa has a waterfall that goes into the pool so I also have the beautiful sound of water flowing. To me this place is my own personal paradise.
My African Grey and my cockatiel are also glad the weather is back to normal as they also get to spend the days outdoors watching me work. Well now that I have let you all know that the blog is back and running I really will do my best to post at least once a week.
Wishing you all a great new year and please always think positive as your positive vibes will always bring you the best in life. A new day dawns and with it a new adventure, make the most of it.
