Things have been changing some around our house. The hoop house is moving into spring. S has been preparing a new outside bed.

I’ve made it through tearing out my hair trying to reorganize my novel. I’ve finished the rewrites and have moved back to ‘final edits’. I plan to print out a new copy of the manuscript this week.
I’ve come up with a couple of new ideas for novels.
I’ve named my books/series.
I’m getting ready to visit Texas in less than a week.

S is finishing up his last semester as a junior. He has registered for summer and fall classes.
He’s been exploring new job opportunities.

We’ve been looking at ‘what’s next’. We’ve been dreaming and planning, taking steps toward our next adventure.

Tomorrow is my birthday.
S finishes his classes in a couple of weeks.
Next month is our anniversary.

Change is in the air.

And with it, I’ve felt a change coming for this blog.

I think I will begin posting less often, but more honestly.
I feel that I have perhaps short- changed you in my efforts to ‘get along’ with everyone.

I have a lot of thoughts and opinions and perspectives that I am quite sure not everyone will agree with.
But I feel ready to talk about that.

Please bear with me. This week I will move toward the transition.
