A Better Direction

“Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn’t measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It’s not winning battles that makes you happy, but it’s how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.”

So today, I had strawberry shortcake, and it reminded me of my grandmother. Instead of the traditional biscuit, it was pound cake. I prefer it with pound cake.

I’ve been to the beach twice this September. Both times brought me so much peace. I need a beach blanket in my trunk.

I have spent all summer stopping to watch the bees and looking for the ones who are napping. I haven’t found a napping one yet.

I am beginning to fall in love with my novel again. That always feels nice. It’s an on and off relationship. Lol

And I still love writing and all the complexities that come with it. I may be an over-thinker, but I’m learning how deeply psychological fiction writing really is.

Those are my little tidbits for the day.

How about you?

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
