Peace?

Okay, the last two days have been chill. I don't want to think about it too hard, or even make direct eye contact with this phenomenon, in case it vanishes upon closer inspection. That being said, God gets the credit for this improvement. Work has been, uh, rough lately, and we all have been praying...very hopefully...for a break in the storm. A couple books and blogs have come my way recently that have made a difference in my own personal person, too. This one, and this here one. And this one. And of course my favorite, this book right yere.

What you get, folks, if you smoosh all that together is pretty close to my beginning-of-the-year philosophy, which, somewhere along the way, got yanked down and trampled and left in a ditch next to mile marker eleven, or so. Anyhow, said philosophy is a cozy fit for me (all of us?), and it's good to be back in control...yet less controlling. Thank God for the reminder and the refocus. I realize this post makes no sense unless you are Tiffany.

At any rate, it's good.

But, oh, no, the entry deadline to the West Virginia Writers' competition is in, ok, three days. Yeah. Gotta go.
