I keep thinking I need to tell my mother something, or will share something that happened, or that I should remind her to watch something on TV…and then I remember. Little moments throughout the day. I imagine it will happen less over time. #grief

Just a gentle reminder. Drivers please remember cats use the roads too, and they can't read. Drive carefully.

Well, #5amwritersclub, it’s a new year. I’m facing it for the first time without a father or mother (she passed away on New Year’s Eve). So much to process, and I’m sure some of it will be in writing this year. I hope your year is peaceful and happy. Onward, as there is no other way but forward.

How lovely to see the "Toys at Night" books we sent to Ukraine in the hands of such deserving children at Christmastime.
Makes all the effort worthwhile.
Thank you @anya-lauchlan.bsky.social
@fayerd.bsky.social and everyone who supported this project.

Courage doesn’t erase fear. It walks beside it, trembling but unyielding.
Photo by Beyza Kaplan. A solitary figure stands on a dark field under a vast, mist-filled sky. The silhouette is faint, almost blending into the enveloping haze. The scene exudes quiet isolation, as if the person is suspended between the earth and an infinite void. The air feels heavy yet timeless, inviting introspection and a sense of stillness.

“What matters is that we try.” That’s the pulse that runs through these essays.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a pocketful of perspective.

Clever, curious, and just the right amount of strange.

Well, #5amwritersclub, I did it. I finished the first draft of a novel I started #writing about 7-8 months ago. I did it little by little, day by day. As I wrote, I developed new ideas that will require changes in draft 2. Next year I’ll revise and revise until I’m happy. Now, rest and short forms.
