82 years behind me. Hope a few more ahead. What a year this has been: Widowed for the second time in my life, transplanted and rebuilding my life in a whole new environment, reintroducing myself to my daughter and two grandchildren, and introducing myself to six great grandchildren. And then there’s reestablishing all the medical services I need.
That’s pretty much taken up the whole year. And I’m not done yet.
Next comes all the legal wrangling to set up the rest and the end of my life. And then a few finanicial odds and ends to deal with. And I still need to get a Colorado ID. I’ve almost replaced all the legal documents they are demanding that were lost in the Roswell flood.
But it’s coming together and so is reintroducing myself to my characters and manuscripts, parts of which I have to reinvent, because the flood took out many of my notes and outlines. At least my computer survived. It has most everything on it. Guess I better get a cloud back-up. You never know what could happen next. I’m sure this year has been a relatively rough ride for almost everyone. Would love for a December 31st end to the bleakness and a shining new year be born ion Janyary 1st. I can dream, can’t I?
In addition the reinventing my life, I’ll be revitalizing my writing precesses and cranking out some long awatied sequels and prequels, along with more Haiku chapbooks and some poetry I disovered that I wrote some thirty to forty years ago, during a totally dystopian period in my life.
I’ll be making and meeting deadlines. I have no reason not to make them. I now have the time to devote to what I am most passionate about: putting pen to paper and bringing my thoughts to life.
Just hoping for a few more trips around the sun so I can get it all out of my head and out there on the ether for all eternity.

Today is the 1st of December. The year is almost over. It has been an unkind year for many of us. I’m praying for a better next year.
You've had an amazing year and it's not over!!! You've been, as you say, relatively healthy, that's great 👍. Now to get those thoughts on paper, make a list for every day and complete them! It's all about You now, get that passion in gear and get writing. I wish you the best and look forward to next book!!
