Spoke to my editor yesterday, pleased with how things are coming along. So glad no definite time line or deadlines, but making the most of the time. Am spending well over half of my days contemplating the manuscript, continuously notating new thoughts and ideas as they come to mind, and communicating with Debby, James’ mother, my editor, and dear friend Madeline. Which brings up a thought I just had:  ‘You don’t know how valuable or invaluable you can be in any given situation at any moment. You are continuously shaping others’ perception of you in all you do.’ Wow, should’ve been a writer, or speaker. Maybe down the road. I’m thankful for friends and I’m thankful for Jesus.
