I decided to abandon the novel writing project. Either I’m not in a place to write like that now or I’m not the type of person to write that. This sort of writing is exercise, it keeps me nimble and flushes my mind. Many days I would get frustrated by not wanting to write that story, so I wrote nothing. I knew it would happen and wanted to get out of the hole before digging deeper. Now I can return to my life and all the exciting changes that have happened in the new year, not much new. My show is back on the air and that’s a lot of fun. The live recording on Sunday felt good while I was speaking and when I was finished saw there were 30 life viewers; that’s amazing. Most of those view I attribute to there being a cat on the screen in the beginning, but we shouldn’t discount the good. The studying on my own time is going well. I’m feeling a deeper learning and when I don’t have time for practice during the week, I was still able to gain from the show. Looking forward, I’ve got some outfit changes planned for the show I know now that I won’t be able to wear steel armor in a garage during Summer heat. There’s a project I’m planning for memorial day that needs a lot of prep and days of recording. There is a challenge for veterans to do 22 push ups a day for 22 days relating to self harm statistics. As Winter thaws, more energy will become available. Today’s temperature is below freezing.
