Here is a Christmas picture. Yes, yes I know it's almost Valentine's Day. Life has been very busy. As you can see the puppy has grown. She is 7 months now.
Mozart is still composing and I am doing everything else. I'll try to write more often. I suppose "short and sweet" is better than showing the same blog post for 2 months!
Life has been very busy, and although I have had time in the evenings to write, I end up reading or finishing up the chores around the house. I just finished a very good book called "The Sisters of Sinai" the true story about two women who discovered an ancient copy of the gospel of Mark.
Author Janet Soskice did a great job researching..in fact I think it is over-researched. If you like ancient manuscripts and have a fascination with Egypt, floating down the Nile...or wonder what crossing the Sinai Penninsula by camel (in a dress) would be like, than this book is for you.
Parts of the book were a little slow due to the extra information and research on side topics. But all in all I loved it. Visiting monastaries, making friends with monks, and the dilemmas of traveling as a woman in the Middle East in the late 1800's and early 1900's took my mind off the day and I totally forgot about blogging.
These women were persistent in their endeavors and they were a great inspiration to me. I have the tendency to give up on projects. But not any more! Now I feel like I could do anything if I put my mind to it.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Hmmm, I could use a little persistence. But I think I'd better not read that book until summer break. I'd get lost in it and never be prepared for class!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about everyday life and projects taking over our time to write. I've been delaying on a writing project for some time, in fact, two projects. I really need to get in gear! I've been doing more reading lately for pleasure - just need that break, but that's not the same as writing when you're a writer - lol. I'm sure you understand my meaning!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of research, that's what I've been delaying for the two projects I should be working on. There's something much more simple for me about writing life experiences versus researching another time, place and people to tell a story - that is new and I'm finding difficult for me.
Praying all is well with you. I miss the days of more frequent blogging, but there is a time and season for everything under the sun!
Blessings to you today dear writing friend!
