\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lately, when I encounter folks who are a part of my writing life, they ask me if \u00a0I’m writing anything (which I appreciate!). I then answer something like, “Uh, just Facebook statuses.”We laugh about this and carry on. This has been true for quite some time, but I’ve learned not to feel so bad about it that it paralyzes the writer within. I’ve been up to other things, like trying to become a better dancer and learning hula hoop tricks. Also, I’ve been doing a little sewing and making a few \u00a0other things here and there. There are only so many hours in the day, and I know better than to run myself down trying to fit every single thing in. You make your choices and be at peace with your choices, or you make different choices.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m here because I discovered Chookooloonks<\/a>. Firstly, I just have to stop and admire anything with that many o’s in it. Secondly, I have have a smile for something that reminds me of \u00a0what ‘ choo lookin’ at<\/em> while seeming like it could be the name of an over-the-top candy bar that has lots of chunks in it. She even has a list<\/a> of things she wants to do in \u00a0her life on \u00a0her site. Had I discovered this site earlier during my week off, I may have spent the whole week reading everything on it. But then, I wouldn’t have done the other things I did this week. These things work out.<\/p>\n

After all, last night I was poking around looking for some inspiration, then I went to sleep. I woke up this morning and happened upon this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
