Cosmic Waiter.....

And where did January go?  Good question. To me, it was Christmas, then New Year's and I thought I was starting the year well, which is what I think every year, but once the month of January had gone by, I wondered, Is this going to be like the others?

Met someone, fell in love, had an unforgivable argument, split up, broke my heart. That was my first month.

Returned to my book, found editors, researched self-publication, e-books, and concept developers.

Agonized over covers and colors and titles.

My dog had surgery, was healing well, developed an infection, and was put on 4 antibiotics and is still recovering.

I continue to think positive, throwing my orders out to the cosmic waiter and waiting for the right one to come back.

It will happen. I just have to wait.

Maybe I have the wrong waiter.  Is that possible?

Happy New Year Everyone

One does kiss, if one is offered

No, that's not me in drag. But it could be in a few years and I wouldn't mind ending up like Betty White. She's the "real deal."  And she says it  herself, "I just keep working."  The truth is, she has. It seems to me that she's been working on some show or other since I can remember. And she's happy to be so busy. Wouldn't anyone be happy to be doing what they love best?  I think so. I have a love/hate relationship with writing.  I love to write and then hate what I've written. (That's a joke....which probably isn't very funny if I have to explain it's a joke.)  Shouldn't there be a font for, "This is funny, folks."  It would take so much work out of trying to be funny or thinking you're funny or just being funny. You'd hit the font and when people saw the font, they'd laugh.  Reminds me of "applause" signs I've seen at TV show audiences.  Actually, I don't know if I ever applauded because I was supposed to, which probably means the font thing wouldn't work.  If someone told you to laugh, would you?  I wouldn't it. It defeats the purpose.  Laugh when you want to and laugh loudly.  I think that's correct but doesn't it sound better to say, "laugh loud and often." But, I think someone else said that too.  You see how difficult it is to be original.  Someone else has already said it.  It makes me wonder why I bother.  I bother because it makes me feel good.  Feeling good increases endorphones and God knows I like earphones.  None of my door phones seem to work properly.  I had three installed the other day and I still can't get good reception. And then you read these stupid blogs that ask you to take a poll.  Why would I want to take a poll?  I have enough trouble reading the blog and I'm one of those compulsive people that once I start reading something I have to finish it.  Then they want me take a poll about it?  Jeez Louise.  Leave an old guy in peace.  I usually need to take a nap, not a poll.  Those posts or blogs or polls are tiring.  I suppose mine is too, which is why I try to keep them short and use a lot of pictures.  But, I've rambled on and on, which is the way I've been this last year.  Rambling from one thing to the next.  So, I promise to keep my posts shorter next year and not write long ones like this one.  That's my new year's resolution and I'm sticking to it.  You know why?  It's easier, although, this one wasn't so hard.  It's probably terrible and that's why I have a love/hate relationship with my writing.  So my friends, and go my foes, hate what you do best. It works for me. I'm going to work on trying to love what I do best.
