I have been absent from this spot for quite a while. Life, mostly good things, got in the way. But without the pondering that precedes my putting words on paper, and the act of writing itself, things weren’t quite complete.
So I have determined to have my own personal October writing challenge, hoping to find time to write (and ponder!) every day this month. Come and visit anytime. Better yet, join me in writing every day!
Today’s post comes from musings at the beach:
