For the last few days I have been working on an article for a possible anthology book. Today I decided with the hecticness of Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up that I would finish it and...then email it in. It amazes me how much cheaper and faster and quicker this is that the old
way of snail mail and then wondering if they received it. Within minutes I had an automatic message telling me that the article had been received!
Wow. I have a lot to do with the holidays coming as three of the four of my children will be here ---
it kind of boggles the mind when I think about it all. And last night I became very ill suddenly. I've been slowly recovering today. Finally the weather is turning cold ....until now November had been very mild and beautiful.
John is also busy doing some publicity on his book Earth Is Not Alone. He and our daughter, Phoebe, made a trip to Florida last week to see his mother/her grandmother. It was good they could go. I stayed here and went to the quilt retreat where I visited with friends from Oswego, NY and made progress on my quilt! Now thankfully I've been making some progress on my writing also....

GREAT DAY!
Today is a day of birthdays! I know two people celebrating today!
And I'm celebrating also. I'm just very content today. Some days are like that. I'm trying to be more appreciative of all my blessings and I have had a lot. I know they came from the Lord and even the hard times have been allowed (though they are not easy to deal with....) I think one thing we don't do as Christians is really let our brothers and sisters who are going through hard time grieve the way they may need to. We can still know Christ as feel really sad as many of the Bible characters did. We know we have hope in the end but in the meantime it is hard to understand.
But today I have to choose. And today I'm trying to make the most of the time. Last night I did submit an article for an anthology even though I won't know for a while. Another article I submitted a while ago has not been chosen for a series although since it has not been returned YET there is a possibility the editor could be holding it for a later book. Doubtful but yet possible. And I'm working on another article....so I have plenty to do. As well as try to finish my fall quilt that is in about its' fifth year ....it's now or never!

November news.....
The countdown is on to the end of the year and finally I'm back to writing. I recently completed an article I hope to submit to an anthology whose deadline is a month from now. And I'm working on another article. So I'm back at it.
Yesterday there was an article in our church newspaper about my husband's book Earth Is Not Alone and John has also been doing a few other marketing items regarding the book. In other news members of our family have had the H1N1 virus that is going around and the World Series between the Phillies and the Yankees is going on not far from here. (2 hours away right now in Philly)
And I'm hoping to get my quilt out from last year and begin work as the quilt retreat is coming up soon. Plus we have a "surprise" project that is taking a lot of our time....down the road it will be revealed!
