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.

Good Morning!

This morning as I look at the “View from my Window on the River,” everything is green and blooming. April 3rd is a beautiful day so far. Talking rain showers later. We need it. But, never the less it is a beautiful morning.

I’m obsessing about time though!  Never enough!  Erica, Chris, Keegan, Kayla, TJ, and Brittany are coming to celebrate Easter with us this weekend. I’m so looking forward to them coming.  Have a project on the guesthouse Cliff is hoping the guys can help him with. I have a shopping trip planned for us girls.

So, before Thursday I have plenty to do, cleaning, grocery shopping, Easter eggs to fill. Just a few things so I feel prepared for the kids.

Along with getting ready for company, I feel like I need to spend much more time on my writing. My days of finishing the rewrite before September 1st seems like it will be upon me way to soon.  I also have a  three to five page narrative synopsis to write before July 8th.

Lee ( my writing partner) and I are taking a class with Susan Taylor Chehak, at the Iowa Summer Writing Workshop.  Requirements of the class include the synopsis, ten to fifteen pages of the work-in-progress, and a letter of intent for the novel.  The pages should not be a problem, but it brings up the question of which fifteen pages to bring.  The synopsis and letter of intent are another matter all together, both items I have never done before. Of course you want them perfect so I have plenty of research and most likely much writing and rewriting to do.

With the writing projects, and soon we will be working on the finishing items, painting, flooring, cabinets installed and many more details to be done to complete the guesthouse in time for the summer fun on the river. I’m going to have to get up earlier!

I Can do IT!   This will have to be my motto.

Last summer as I prepared for the Dam to Dam Race. I posted the quote from John Bingham, “THE MIRACLE ISN’T THAT I FINISHED … THE MIRACLE IS THAT I HAD THE COURAGE TO START.”

So I better get started!!
