It’s a great time to be alive. It’s Blog Post #65. I know some of you are asking, “What do you mean a great time?” Well, it beats the time of Spanish Flu. There was no YouTube, no Instagram, no Facebook, no Twitter, no podcasts… Ugh, maybe it isn’t as good as the Spanish Flu season. It was harder back then yet there was less whining and complaining… that you had to hear about online anyway.

‘Tis the Season

In Canada, the summer is here. Covid has settled down a bit as it prepares for the big push this fall. If history teaches us anything, it’s that there will be a second wave. We’re humans though…we never learn.

Book Work 2

I continue to work on my first ever novel. It is a tough, arduous process but I’m enjoying it. Thanks to everyone who gave positive feedback on the ending which I shared in my last post. This time, I’m actually sharing an actual excerpt from the book. It gives away nothing but it is actual proof that this book is actually a thing:

“Well, I admire your courage to get started. Like anything in life, the first step is the hardest.”

“I don’t know about that. I’m thinking each step I make after that is going to be harder and harder… until I wish I were dead.”

“Uhh…that’s the spirit,” said Erin with a shrug ’n smile.

Words of Wisdom

1. Do the thing…. The thing you want to do. Forget the money, the fame, the glory. Do the thing.
2. Finish the thing you started….The thing you wanted to do… That thing you started and are now procrastinating on.
3. Do the thing. Finish the thing…. Because the day is coming when you no longer can do the things or finish the things.
4. When in doubt what to do, think about what the Dogwood do.

The mandate of this blog is to post once a month or more. I almost didn’t get this out before June was over. I don’t even want to think about all the hate mail I would have received. Here’s your ending jokes in conversation form. Enjoy.

1. Nurse: “To help with your constipation issue, drink plenty of water.

                           Also, start keeping a log.”

         Patient: “Keeping a log? The problem is I can’t get rid of a log.”

2. Nurse: “And increase your fiber intake.”

         Patient: “So I should stop having protein shakes.”

          Nurse: “No whey!”

3. Nurse: “Remember. Fiber and water work together.”

         Patient: “Like viruses and cruise ships?”
