Nice surprise

So, I woke up today and the wicked witch was gone. Sometime during the night she must have realized that I don’t live a very exciting life. :) After all, a lot of it is spent in front of the computer.

And speaking of my writing career…We were, weren’t we?

I had a very nice surprise last night (and perhaps this is the true reason why my witchy attitude is gone). Google alerted me to a very good review I’d received from the eHarlequin community about my novella, The Cowboy Way.

It’s always nice to know that even though I’m a struggling writer, something of mine is still being read and appreciated. Thank you, Christa R, for the silver lining that will gleam for the rest of the year!

Wicked Wind

Alright, I’ll come right out and say it. I’m blaming the weather for my bad attitude. The wicked wind that blew in a couple of days ago, turned me into a wicked witch.

Now, you might be saying that I can certainly control my own actions and it makes me sound like victim to lay the blame at Mother Nature’s door, and you might be right. All I know is that when the bitter wind started to blow, the bitterness seemed to latch onto me.

Normally I’m an upbeat, positive person. I like a silver lining in every cloud. But for the last couple of days I’ve struggled with my level of patience. Idiots are the first to be blasted with my wintery tone and glacial stare. And then afterward, I usually feel guilty…usually…for the honesty I’ve hurled.

Maybe I need to meditate. Maybe my chakras were blown out of whack. Maybe my chi needs to be recharged. Maybe I need vitamin D. Who knows? Right now, I’m willing to give them all a try in order to get back to normal…Or at least, what I’ve convinced myself is normal for me.

In the meantime, I’ll try to keep looking for that silver lining.

By the way, I have a new job. And I’m waiting for excitement to sweep over me.

I’ll keep you posted.
