Well here it is a beautiful Monday morning in our neck of the woods. The sun is out, the sky is blue, & the glistening of this gentle morning on the branches of the wooded trees, is quite the jewel. I'm on break from my job until mid way through the month, so if I don't fritter away my time, I should be able to delve into my "To Do List" of boring details & get a lot done. Boring details, not a strong point of mine, but since there's so much that really needs my attention, I will forge forward.
Passover is early this year, the end of the month, with Easter of course to follow. For starters today, I will begin by putting away the snowman items, one is a rather cheery, yet tired flag, & the other is a plastic image of one which I place every year in the original Peace Garden, among the other assemblage sculptures.
In all honesty I think I'm a bit bummed out, regarding the details of the contract writing, for our up coming book. The idea of it, & the creating of it, with all of our characters, is far easier then dealing with the business end of the thing. I know we will make it all happen, but it does at times become rather tedious, & exhausting. Therefore the blue sky, the comforting March sunshine, & the hopes & goodwill of all our family & friends, will get us through yet this other hurdle. Compared to crossing the Red Sea, or wandering for forty years, which was a most extensive chapter of our development, the one we face now, so much simpler & some day in retrospect to be considered child's play, for two inexperienced children's book writers, as we are so in tune with what our goals are. This too shall be worth the journey, which of course could not be done if we hadn't left Egypt in the first place. The business part of our book must be proper, balanced, & totally fair, as we've come much too far, to settle for any less. Sensitive artistic type that I am, I have to work real hard at not allowing myself to become upset regarding this hurdle as it can be an energy block, which again becomes another hurdle. Now that I've walked upon this earth for the multiple decades that I have, at least I can say I know the triggers, & I will definitely stay focused, & balanced on this & continue to ask those that are close to us for their input & advise, as we are so close, but we want all of it done right. We haven't signed anything yet, & nothing is written in stone, for now we are presented with a rough draft contract, that is heavily weighed to one side, & are goal all along is balance. Time will tell.
On another note; I just put Dolly out. I will in fact, have to share some of the tales she presents from our walks together, as she's quite the investigative adventurer! There's nothing quite like a sweet, devoted pup to bring a smile & a hearty laugh out loud, to this puppy's adoptive mom. "Yes", puppy therapy, it works, I feel better already, just ask any dog owner, & we're in the millions, I just know.

It's almost 3:30pm, now & for a good part of the day [between the task of applying myself on that personal, "To Do List"] I've been reading Rebecca Newberger Goldman's book-- "36 Arguments For The Existence Of God". It is subtitled-- "a work of fiction", & a very good one I must add, as it's a page turner & a challenge to put down, but before this day looses the beauty of it's sunlight, I must again go out, as windy as these March winds are, too much indoor time for me is never good.
