Day 1… again -Spinning Wheels

Day 6,669; Day 1,554; Day 1, again.

Life has a way of making our heads reel. Leaving us spinning, round and round, with no hope to stop the dizzying ride. I have put books on back burners, dealt with disappointment in college, voters, and family.

Enough. It’s time to focus on the here, on the now, on the next step.

Niagara Falls. July.

Alaska. October.

Today’s Reflection… You only fail when you stop trying.

I still miss you… every second, every heartbeat, the ache is still there, but slowly, I can breathe again…

Day 13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20..21..

Day 5,216. Day 102. Day 20.

Some days are better than others.

Life sometimes demands our full attention, leaving us exhausted, stressed beyond belief, and barely hanging on. That is what the past nine days have done for me.

I had a solid plan. Finish the degree started in 2004, (okay it’s #3, but the journey started way back then on the first one) Finish the last class and get back to work.

I had a second plan, finish revisions and get that book into print. There are 14 days until my self-imposed deadline. I am not going to make it. I think that is what kept me from making even the briefest post this past week. Knowing I was going to fail. Seeing the writing on the wall that I couldn’t make that deadline.

So, I have a new plan. Don’t Panic. Take everything… One hour at a time. One Day at a time. One chapter at a time. I can do this. It might not be done by Mom’s birthday but It will be done come hell, high water, and crazy people, before mine.

I could use your strength right now, missing you.

Day 3: A New Challenge

5,198 days. 84 days. 2 days.

They say it takes 30 days to make or break a habit. Let’s see if I can make a habit, that will help unbreak my heart.

Emotions drain you of energy. It’s funny, I used to think they energized me, but anger, anger drags me under and tries to drown me. Heartbreak leaves me curled up in bed, unable to even crawl out from under the blankets. Fear, fear drives me to perfect every detail.

That leaves me with a challenge. Shaking off the anger, pushing the blankets off, and finishing the book. The book Mom never got to hold in her hands. The book she inspired, transcribed, and loved. June 25th would have been her birthday. Now, it’s my deadline.

Here’s a little sneak peek, along with that cover I love so much:

What do you do when life hands you heartache and shattered dreams?

A horse named Whirlwind was all it took to shatter Cassandra Caruthers body along with her dreams. After a year of grueling therapy, she is finally going home, only to find that life has moved on without her.

Her estranged father leaves her an inheritance with strings resembling barbed wire attached- a horse ranch. She doesn’t know what makes her more furious, her father thinking she ignored him, his leaving her a horse ranch, or that she can’t ask him why. The answers to those questions, and more await her in Twin Creeks, Texas.

Doctor Dallas Haloren never expected the woman of his dreams would ride into town in a vintage green mustang and nearly run him over. He didn’t need trouble from someone who’d get lost on a ranch. He’d made the mistake of falling for a city-girl once, he wouldn’t do it again. Yet, one look into the pain-filled eyes of his new neighbor, and Dallas knew he had to help her reclaim herself.
