Islands are a mystery. A little clump of dirt, grass, bushes, and trees in the middle of the ocean or a clear water lake. Scotland has thousands of islands where mythology abounds. Life in the long ago centuries was harsh, which made the Scots a strong and mighty people.

Be happy while you’re living, for you’re a long time dead—Scottish Proverb

I had a great day; lunch with relatives at LONGHORN at Briercreek in Raleigh (thanks, Chris, for the free dessert!); watched NASCAR; reflected on the past year. A decent year, but I am excited to see what the future will bring, especially with my writing.

I will continue to ply the trade, attend workshops, submit manuscripts until an agent agrees I have something to share, and smile each time a royalty check arrives from the six e-books already ‘out there’.

Today’s newspaper (The News & Observer) printed a ‘Horoscope for the Year’ and here is a partial:

“Mid-December is a good time for your finances and career, so work hard to make your fantasies come true.”

Now, if an agent or editor would call about one of my submissions, all will be as it should.

One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history. –Peace Pilgrim, peace activist

As we in America celebrate Veteran’s Day on 11*11*11, we must remember those still fighting around the world.
