I admit it, I was lazy over the three day holiday weekend and didn't get up at 5am even once. That really was the extent of my laziness though because once I was up and moving, I didn't stop moving until the sun set! The weather this weekend was beautiful so of course I tackled yard work and made sure my acreage didn't turn into a wild jungle. I even trimmed the tall bushes in front of my house because their new growth was making it difficult to see out my picture window. Trimming bushes taller than I am was no easy task and involved carefully balancing being on a ladder, operating electric sheers and not leaning so far forward I fell into the bushes or tipped the ladder backward. I think I burned more calories being all nervous doing that than I did performing physical exertion in hot temperatures and beating sun. Coordination has never been my strong point, but I survived and conquered the bushes (mostly) and can now gaze happily out my front window to watch the sunrise lighten the sky.
There's a little house wren outside the window this morning and it's amazing that such a loud song comes from such a tiny thing. He's being very persistent and dedicated in his morning exuberance and I'm impressed. I do know what it is though to be so determined that nothing will stop me and like the wren, I remain undeterred when someone growls at me. I didn't growl at him but I imagine people who love mornings less than I do certainly would. I suppose my tenacious nature and refusal to give up on certain dreams and desires might wear on the nerves of those who don't truly understand me, but I still feel such qualities are to be admired. I took a very important and long overdue step yesterday by mailing out an inquiry letter for one of my many romance novels. I will be following that one letter up with many others to various publishers and I won't quit this time until my books are out there to be read and enjoyed by others. I love to share my passion, I live for it and I truly can't afford to waste any more time on silly things like fear of rejection and criticism. What I write is real and genuine because it comes from my life experiences and is spoken from my heart. Someday a truly enlightened person will see that, and then look out world! No really, look out because I tend to be kind of clumsy and I might stumble into you when my exuberance disorients me while I navigate the exciting path to success.
