Looking back at the month of November about to be finished today, I often felt like it was a loaded weapon. The good, the bad and the ugly being randomly shot in our direction without any rhyme or reason. Yet like the dark clouds slowly being blown away by the Autumn wind, this year’s November is now being chased away by the hands of time. It is not a moment too soon…
It had begun quite well starting with NaNoWriMo. Writing daily on my novel after having tip-toed around it for ever was a fresh change for me. This book slowly coming about is bringing me joy and filling my heart with wonder. Writing is the one action, I know which is truly changing my life one page at a time. The work I put in there is feeding me within, and bringing me much satisfaction.This imaginary world I am creating is very real to me and sustains my dream while helping me face the unknown reality waiting for me..
On the personal side however November was quite a roller-coaster. Between the slow and painful recovery of Darling Daughter’s knee injury, and Lovely Husband’s health scare, I felt like I was riding the wildest ride ever. The final blow came with this past week-end’s terrible news . It is very hard to go on when all the fibers of your being are telling you to stop, curl up in fetal position and wait until the storm subsides.
But as everyone keeps saying :”…life goes on…” so here I am, rolling up my sleeves and doing my best to keep on going. Being able to share a bit of how I feel here is proving to be a tremendous help. Your thoughtful comments have been a balm to my aching spirit. I am very thankful to be a part of this wonderful blogging community.
Now that November is over all I can say today is “good riddance”…See you next year…Time will have healed some of our wounds by then…

Anyes, life is up and down….it's just our lives….good, bad, up, down, right, wrong…really no right or wrong just every moment unfolding…one moment at a time and you appear to be experiencing it all with a large modicum of grace and elegance 🙂
