Welcome November!

Since my September 1st post, life has been a whirlwind. My sister helped her partner drive their belongings to their new home in Oregon. She left him and their kitty there, and flew back to finish out her job and clear the apartment. She spent the last couple weeks in our home. Then before out flying to start her new life in Oregon, we went through a lot of her stuff that didn't make the trip, she helped me organize my front room and I decided what to keep and what should now go, we held a big yard sale which did really well, then we filled boxes of leftover items to be donated. It was fun having her here. We had a lot of late night talks, a lot of laughter, and a few tears. It was a special time. I plan to visit them next spring or summer, God willing.

I've continued doing my morning journal writing for the Grow Me A Story class. It's called Sowing Seeds. I just put down whatever comes to mind. It's a great exercise to clear the mind and to jot down creative ideas. I'm posting daily on Instagram as part of a 90 Days of Autumn Awareness activity. It's been challenging and fun! I'm working on setting some weekly writing goals, which will include posting more often on this blog. Until then...

Thanks Donna! Life just gets so busy, doesn't it. I will try to post a little more often though! I miss connecting with my blogger friends!

Nita Jo, I don't post often anymore but really need to start back. I do have a post today of my NEW great granddaughter. She was born on the 30th.

I think you do quite well with writing. I used to, but have gotten more out of it since my granddaughter and her husband are staying with us for a while. Her kids are here ever other week. It's hectic but I love being with them more..

I hope you have a Happy New Year, Nita Jo.
xoxo
