True. I think my main issue is that I need to write from the 3rd person perspective. Once I have that done and fully understand how to do that, I will move forward. I am going to do it right. I want it to be special. ❤ Thank you. I did need to hear that today. 😀 I cleaned my creative room and updated the look of my blog (again). Now I feel like I can write tomorrow. ❤

Ron had to have foot surgery last year. He spent the whole summer in his chair. He was so fed up. I know how it is. I hope you mend quickly. ❤

Exactly. Making everything all shiny and new looking does it for me every time. I used to rearrange furniture years ago and clean. My kids used to laugh at me. I was 10 times more productive afterwards. Have a great weekend. ❤
