Writing

What is there about writing? It sends the bucket slowly down into the bottom of the well of my being and brings up surprises.
'Why am I thinking about that? When did that occur? I had totally forgotten! Oh, I need to call/write/send/go.'

Writing inventories and realigns the contents of my heart and sets my life on course.

I'm sitting in my favorite reading, writing, and thinking spot. No, not reading. When I'm reading for pleasure I love to be squeezed into plump pillows so that I can sigh in contentment as I enjoy a brilliantly written passage. But for writing and thinking  I sit at my desk in front of a sunny window with the best of all views: my bird feeder and bird bath drawing my flitting friends to delight me as they swirl, nibble and splash.

Today I am writing short passages in  my new book Traveling Through Time in which I take the reader to  places I've been and to meet the folks who have inspired (or appalled) me. I share the hair-brained messes of my youth to the awe filled moments of my maturity. None were wasted. They are my travels through time.

Have you read my first book? It's called Taking God's Word to Heart a 30 day devotional journal.
I'll gladly autograph it for you and send it. $15 plus shipping. Or you can get it through Amazon.

Back to my writing. Wanted to take a quick break and talk to you.

Love,
Cheryl
