First day of classes! I went to Stevenson to see some familiar faces; faces that never fail to greet me with a smile and a friendly hello. Nancy made coffee, and of course, I’m always in the mood for coffee. So we had coffee over a friendly chat. I also called Bradford to sort out my software issues in relation to the program I’m using to teach online. As both sections I teach have the same syllabus, I have some time on my hands. So I walked to the library to follow Stephen King’s advice.
I wrote 2000 words in two hours! So my friends, if I continue at this wonderful pace, I will be as prolific a writer as Stephen King! Let’s see if I can continue doing this. I’m definitely going to try. I was quite happy with what I wrote, too. Tonight, I’m going to try to squeeze out another thousand. I can do this. I honestly believe I can.
Healthwise, it was one of the worst days ever. I fell several times in my apartment. Oh well, it could be worse, I’m sure! From Stevenson, my beautiful friend Jessica gave me a ride all the way to my apartment. Jessica, if you are reading this, I want to say you are an amazing person. So brave and selfless. Thank you for sharing a bit of you with me. I’m in awe.
I didn’t do a whole lot, until Kathryn took me to Kroger for grocery shopping. Thank you, Kathryn, for being so thoughtful. I’m so very grateful. I’m amazed by the goodness that surrounds me. I’m a lucky devil! J After coming back to my apartment, I had some healthy whole grain cereal with raisins and dry roasted peanuts. I’m listening to Michael W. Smith as I type. I absolutely love his song, “I Will Carry You.” What an incredibly powerful song. It makes me cry everytime!
After some rest (maybe I will meditate for fifteen minutes), I will have a go at the next thousand words. It was a very long day, and I struggled a lot, but now I’m home. I feel good… like I want to do good deeds all my life. I wasn’t trying to sound sanctimonious, really. I feel good… kind… Reader, may you be blessed.
