Right now I feel like a kid about to go on a rollercoaster. It's probably a bad analogy, but I really feel inspired, encouraged and excited. I will try to explain below, but pardon me if my mind wanders; it's a habit of my dreamy mind.
The day didn't start like it was any different. I woke up and wondered most wholeheartedly if I was waking up from a bad dream of nine years. Then I started heading to the bathroom and realized that it was not a nightmare at all. It's as real as a little fish entering a shark's mouth unwittingly. Well, maybe not that bad. I was a theater majore eons ago! Come on now! So anyway, the day started as usual. I didn't want to be stuck in my lonely studio, so I ventured forth. I had to get a refill of my muscle relaxant, too. Aftewards, I went to Stevenson and had a wonderful chat with Nancy and Joyce (I'm finally learning to drop the Doctor title!). Nancy told me about a wonderful website that gave good cleaning tips. When I came back to my apartment, I started immediately with this website. I had mentioned to Nancy that my apartment was getting to be really messy and that I was finding it difficult to clean. She was so kind to even offer help; many others have too, but I'm the martyr! :)
Then I started listening to an audiobook while demoting articles of trash from my sleeping/studying area to a garbage bag. I was listening to "On Writing" by Stephen King. I had purchased it on Audible.com. It really inspired me, so following Mr. King's advice, I'm really determined to take this dream of being a writer to a new height. He said he wrote something like 3000 words every day. I will write 2000, I thought. I can do it. Yes, I can. Yes. Yes.
Oh, and thanks, Panini, for the sweet card!! :)) As you had said, Audrey Panini Caseltine, I'm so going to embrace this year with a big smile and a big dream. I'm going to write like crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! So I have a revitalized dream. That's how I deal with this thing called MS or something. I invent dreams; intangible columns to hold on to. Keep reading my story, though. I will do this. Yes, I can. WOAH HA HA HA HA HA! I tried a cruel kinda laugh, and just failed miserably! :)
Oh, I'm sipping green tea with lemon and honey as I write this.
My dearest friend Lasantha, you are such an insipiration to me, you are so full of life and I admire you greatly.
