Writing Life – June 8, 2023

Hey everyone. Happy Thursday. Let’s make it a terrific day! ๐ŸŽ‰ It’s June 8th, and I’m feeling fantastic! Here’s a glimpse of my day so far:

Started the morning with my usual routine of taking my RXs and spending some peaceful time with my devotional. โœจ It’s important to start the day on a positive note!

I had an exciting moment of financial responsibility by making a deposit to my bank savings account as some money I was owed showed up – as they say they check was in the mail.ย  ๐Ÿ’ฐ It’s always great to see those savings grow! I like collecting money more than spending it. Sigh – I paid my quarterly federal taxes yesterday, so on the ledger itโ€™s like a wash or break even.

Then, I hopped into my car and drove to my favorite local coffee house โ˜•๏ธ to get my caffeine fix. Nothing beats the aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning!

Now, I’m diving into some productive writing and editing tasks. ๐Ÿ“ There’s something satisfying about polishing your work and making it shine!

Later in the morning, I’ll be delving back into the enchanting world of “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien. ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ Can’t wait to get lost in the epic adventure once again!

Afterwards, I’ll be heading to the mall for my daily walk. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy some window shopping at the same time!

In the afternoon, I’m continuing my reading journey with “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. ๐Ÿ“š It’s fascinating to explore the intricate depths of Lewis’s mind! Iโ€™m reading through the spiritual classics of C.S. Lewis (see todayโ€™selfie). ๐Ÿ“š

I also have more exciting things to work on today, like more government paperwork preparing for my trans-pacific cruise. ๐Ÿšข Adventure awaits!

Yesterday, I had a major win by securing my assigned seats on a Quantas Airlines flight from Sydney, Australia back to LAX for a November trip. I got an aisle seat close to the restroom – both are important for me and especially since Iโ€™ll on the plane over sixteen hours. โœˆ๏ธ The excitement is building up!

Later tonight, I’ll be joining a refreshing Bible Study Magazine session via Zoom. ๐Ÿ“– It’s always inspiring to connect with others and grow in faith together. The group is an important part of my writing family and my personal spiritual growth.

Before I doze off, I’ll be indulging in some captivating bedtime reading with “Madly, Deeply” by Alan Rickman. ๐ŸŒ™ It’s like having a personal conversation with the amazing actor himself! Donโ€™t know Alan Rickman? He was the villain in the first Die Hard movie and Snape in the Harry Potter movies plus many more movies and plays.

Remember, folks, have an amazing day and strive to make a positive impact on someone’s life. Let the light of Jesus shine through you, and spread that love and positivity! โœจโค๏ธ Let’s make the world a better place together!
