I was able to be with a friend while she opened the proof of her new novel on Friday. I read the manuscript before hand so I knew it was great writing, but to see her work actually in novel form was so exciting, and the cover was beautiful. I can’t wait to check it out at local books stores and see it at the library. Any one who has been pushing their manuscript over and over again - don’t give up because that moment is worth the blood, sweat, and tears you put into your book.
Life goes on...
My due date is fast approaching. I have dreaded this day since I lost the baby. But I am okay. I replaced painful things with new things. New clubs for the kids, new goals for us all. There are pieces in the back of my mind that seem to bubble up sometimes. Like when I saw a brand-new baby at the store, without warning my throat closed up and I fought back tears. Why? I cannot even tell you, it was just an instant reaction. But it did not change my mood or my day. I finished my tasks and hung out with my kids all afternoon. Sometimes it hurts, but so much less than I expected a few months ago when I was lost in the pain. This is such a relief. And that is all I wanted to say today. If anyone experiences this, and needs to chat I am here sometimes just talking about it helps you climb over the mountain.
