I hope you've had a great kick-off to the holiday season.
Madness and merriment abound this time of year.
Just a Reminder: Balance the pressures and problems with love and joy.
Take time to breathe and experience each moment.

Last week we had a great time with my DH's brother. He visited us here in Florida all the way from Illinois. It was unfortunate that Illinois was having a delightful weather pattern that week! LOL. What fun is flying all the way to FL and not have the opportunity to rub it in to your neighbors up north at how gorgeous it is here and how awful the weather is up there? No, he didn't have that chance, but hey, the weather was nice here too, thank goodness.
How many times in your writing career have you had "dreams" of how well your project will go, but it doesn't? How many times are you disappointed with your book sales? Face it. Disappointment happens to all of us. But, have you found that usually something good will come out of the experience, that you learn something about yourself and your plans?
The holiday season can sometimes disappoint us too when that turkey is under-cooked, the family can't come home, the gifts you thought would be loved receive mediocre thanks or no thanks at all. I hope you won't be disappointed this season, but if you are discouraged, know that you can move on, and put the disillusionment behind you.
How do you deal with disappointment? Leave a comment below. I'd love to hear from you.
