Ever wonder how others perceive you? Others may see me as a wife, mother, step-mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. What would I consider myself? Well, definitely all of the above, but I would add that I am a thinker, a writer, and a woman who has a lot to say. I just want my voice to be heard. This is my spot to state what I think and believe. These are My Thoughts from my Window on the River.

Anticipation

This morning the “My Thoughts from my Window on the River,”  the weather is rather grey, not a cold steel grey, but a warm early spring grey. You can feel spring in the air. That warm but damp mist that bring with it the fragrance of rain.

Our river needs rain. Over the 3 ½ years we have lived here, we have often prayed for the rain to stop so we wouldn’t flooded out again. This year though we a praying for some rain so we can enjoy our water activities this summer. Neither the pontoon nor the ski boat will be able to maneuver the river at this point.

Even though the water level is down it still is a beautiful spot to live. Since we are at the mercy of Mother Nature, we will enjoy whatever she may bring to our part of the world. As we, all know she can have a nasty side that can break our hearts, so we want to keep her well pleased.

Now about my writing “From my View on the River.”  I read my story “Remote Wars” to the writing group last Thursday, I received a great deal of advice on how to improve my story, so with that in mind I have once again rewritten the story.  The original contest entry had to be under 750 words, the rewrite is closer to 1500 words. I still think it is a winner don’t know exactly where I will send it but would like to find a good home for it. Eventually if I cannot find a place for it to reside I will post it here.

I have made my appointment with Hannah at “The Write Place” for Friday so then I will know were my story “Case of Hearts” will be traveling.

Until next, time “Remember Who You Are”
