Because my laptop is STILL trying to back itself up the first time, though it is now speeding by comparison to before (good), I cannot post the photos I had planned for today’s Only the Good Friday, Shelly’s attempt to drag us gently toward seeing the good. So, I’m just going to link to a Halloween photo and mention how gorgeous the weather was earlier. (GOOD!!!)

And remind you simply: NaNoWriMo starts at midnight tonight. Jump in and try it. So what if you didn’t plan out your story line or your characters. Who cares, it is more about just letting words flow. (GOOD!) You KNOW you have 50,000 words in you that want to come out in November. I’m toying with doing it again, though I’m doubting the thrill will be as great, but I know what that is really: the fear I won’t think of anything to write; the fear my computer will be fixed and I will have to catch up on all that work it caused me to put off; the fear I will get lost in my words and not do the accounting I am behind on for reasons other than the computer…

STOP! Those are all valid reasons. But today is about finding the good — and it is good I can see their validity. But the true good lies in that I will squeeze those things in AND start another novel. The true good lies in that I will allow my tense self to relax and do something for me, just me, not Leon, not the business, not the world. This one is for me, and we all need to do something for ourselves occasionally.

And speaking of good, Leon supports me in my craziness, and I support him in his. Why not encourage your loved ones and friends to spend a bit of time doing something for themselves for a change? Now that is truly good!

Happy Halloween! Click here to see our son’s first Halloween costume, he’s not so happy at that moment because he had just gotten stitches in his face…. but he was smiling later. It turned into a GOOD day.

Now, go check out Shelly’s post, she went a bit more serious this week, in a very very good way!
