I've been working my tail off to finish the fourth book in my series. If I'm not writing, I'm hashing out a scene in my mind. As a result, it's become a bit of an obesession.
Last night I dreamed I was one of my own characters! (My husband was another one and two more of them came over to our house.)
Guess it's on my mind a bit.
But when you're going for a goal, it should be on your mind all the time! It must become a burning desire, a total passion.
Wonder who I'll dream about tonight?
"Definite of purpose can, and it should, so completely occupy the mind that one has no time or space in the mind for thoughts of failure."
- Napoleon Hill, from Master Key to Riches

Phases
Our pastor today delivered a message on phases. You're either going through one or are affected by someone else going through a phase. He referenced the prodigal son, and that his father knew he was simply going through a phase. And I thought that was the best part of the message - that whatever someone is going through, it is just a phase.
And phases pass!
And phases pass!

Always be kind
Some people go through life not liking anybody. They want to keep to themselves and not be bothered.
They are missing so much!
A great kindness was recently reciprocated to me, and it really proves that one should always extend their best to others. It really doesn't require that much more effort to be nice and I always find I feel better afterwards. All it takes is viewing every new person as friendly and acting accordingly. Some won't be, of course, and sad for them! But most will respond favorably and appreciate your efforts.
And making someone else's day better is what it's all about!
Only by giving to others can we get what we truly want.

Today's blog comes courtesy of our kitten, Rocko. She and Spunky adopted us last Thanksgiving and are still wide open, playful kittens.
But Rocko has a penchant for getting into trouble. I think she has a list of things she knows she's not supposed to do, and then every morning runs through that list to see if anything has changed. Her persistence is amazing and it leads me to Rocko's motto:
Don't take no for an answer!!!!
