My Train of Thoughts
So, who am I kidding...
I'm retired...lots of time on my hands right? Plenty of time to write a blog weekly or monthly right? Well that didn't work out so well for me... because I have no free time!!! To make up for this inefficiency I've decided to post periodically a page called "My Train of Thoughts"---my "mini blog" as it were---a way to get my pesky thoughts, results, or ideas purged from my head! (Well, "buckle up buttercup" but don't hold your breath.)
The way in which someone (me) reaches a conclusion or a line of reasoning. My brain keeps a rollin' all day long!!!

It's mid-June and HOT,
which isn't saying a lot.
I can't find any rhymes,
so I'll wait till next time.
. . . . maybe tomorrow!!!

I wish I had a before picture, but I can show you the heartbreaking after pic . . . . The bare, unstable glass shelf before you is all that remains of my Southwestern pottery collection. Some pieces were over forty years old and had sentimental value.
An unfortunate, regrettable accident (no, not an earthquake) knocked all the pieces to the floor . . . there was one survivor. Mad. Sad. I mourned for a whole day, played pros and cons in my head, and reasoned with the insanity of grieving over inanimate objects. And what did I learn? It hurts, but there are far worse things in life. It’s up to you and you alone to know when it’s enough wallowing . . . so choose your closure and move on. Phew, feels good to get that out!
Sniff, Sniff.

Promoting and selling a book is the hardest thing I've ever done! Heck, when I was younger I couldn't even sell girl scout cookies...look at me now...necessity is the mother of invention...interpret as you will (LOL). Have I mentioned before I need an assistant?

Excuse the crudely drawn cartoon, but I think you get the point...me all the time...

I’ve set a deadline. It works by getting me into my library (den) to write. I fear it’s one of many deadlines, but the plan is to complete book #2, Mrs. Gray’s Secret (hopefully no title changes), in six months.

I've decided I need an assistant! Someone to organize, answer phones, retrieve messages, set up events, etc....then I realized all I would do is micromanage them...yikes. Just saved me some money, but not time.
