So many great posts that I still read from you. I have thought about doing a little book but then I have to be clear about not breaking tradition 11. Something to think about anyway.

You could become a short novelette writer instead and sell under the kindle unlimited plan.. short books work better under the new system apparently. Very easy to publish ebooks.. I know you are a bit of a perfectionist but I think your writing would transfer very well to kindle. They sell for a dollar or next to nothing.. so no big deal.. I think kindle unlimited is the new blog.. but I love the blog as well and being able to comment etc. thats half the fun :) I completely understand that you are busy in a new way. I am too. Feel called to do service in lots of ways. I like to investigate and expose disinformation lol.. there is no shortage of it.. but yes there are many ways to be of service.. this blog is much nicer than many of those profit motivated self help things on the market.. a joy to read something sincere in the wash of insincere profit orientated material.. anyway I hope you settle into a balance that makes sense.. :)Irish as in..http://anon-recovery-archive.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-79369188294413900672014-10-25T10:18:18.482-04:002014-10-25T10:18:18.482-04:00You are an inspiration for me to keep writing.

I would miss you if you stopped altogether. I don't care if you read me and/or comment....Gosh, what more is there to say?! lol Don't get me wrong....I always love hearing from you, but I will take what you can offer in our blogger world and I am content with that.

You and Brian BOTH would be in for a treat.<br /><br />Our cold snap means it is 80º this noon instead of yesterday's 90º. And welcome breezes. Love your description of Alanon get-together. Those are times of reinforcement to realize I'm not the ONLY one in this lifeboat<br /><br />Blogging, me, too, in total agreement with you, "I sometimes think that my heart isn't in this anymore because I stay so incredibly busy. It's not the running type of busy that I once did, but I am passionately enjoying just about everything that I do." (happy sigh)<br /><br />And Syd, as you know, we never know what God has in store for us when we travel to somewhere "because it is the right thing to do." We may not even be given to know AFTER...it's called faith, right?<br /><br />It is Good for me to be here.

My plants- oh, I dread that day when I have to bring them in! No room for all of them and some of them are really just recovering from last winter when I bundled some of them in sheets and blankets against the porch wall. I don't realize how BIG so many of them are until they are brought into the house. <br />Life and death and the speeding up of days...it is something you and I know about. And pay attention to. <br />Yes, it is the right thing to go to that memorial service. The wife? Well, that will be what it is. You will be doing the right thing by just showing up.
