YEAH! I DID IT! I had serious doubts having spent the majority of the month in the hospital hooked up toe iv’s and wires and without paper, pen, or computer! I also have a lot on my platter with Hubby getting a new job and having to apartment hunt out of state (back home in Ohio), and having to pack the house while dealing with a new diagnosis and not being able to get a doctor in order to get the medications that I need to take now. But, somehow, a few words here, a paragraph there, I did it! YEAH!
Most of the work was on the “What’s Love Got to Do With it? A treatise on war”, but a few thousand words were added to a novel that I had started at the end of Nano last year.
So, what does love have to do with war…. everything and nothing at once. Just go back to your bible and history and look at how often we record war and its aftermath. Look at how many times love enters into the picture to save mankind from it’s own idiocy. It’s been an interesting journey this past month as I fought my own “personal war” with health, sought out the love within my soul to care about other patients and their families whom I prayed deeply for every day.
And, I had the immeasurable joy of seeing a little babe, just a few days old! Fresh and full of love, sleeping in that blessed bliss of innocence while cradled in loving arms. With all the wickedness of the experience at the hospital, I would not have traded those few moments to feel the joy of a new life. May God truly bless that family beyond measure… especially for the hidden blessing that their journey instilled upon my soul at a time when I felt so very low and discouraged! AMEN!
I shall now resume my normal schedule, crazy life and all! 🙂 Have a great week! And, if you’re still working on your NANO… DON’T GIVE UP! Look at what you’ve accomplished so far! Goals are just things to aim for… the real winner is the one who gives it their best, doesn’t quit, and doesn’t give up until the last word is written!
