I am not liking this hot weather!

Hi all,

I'm sorry but I have to complain about this weather we're having this week.  It is too soon for the temperature to be up in the 80's!  I want spring back!! 

Okay, now I'm done complaining, at least for a bit.  I've been trying to spend some time almost every day on my manuscript.  I'm getting close to the end and I'm a little excited to get it completed.  Well, it's only the first writing, so I'm not even close to being finished, but at least the the writing will be done.  I am so enjoying this novel.  It's not at all like my previous novels, but I like to write about different subjects.  Have you ever tried writing? 

I've also been taking some drawing refresher courses, using the 5 pencil method.  I have always enjoyed drawing with a pencil.  Here's a photograph of one I did many years ago.  It has always amazed me how you can make a picture come to life just using pencils.   I hope you like it and perhaps, if you do, you will be daring and try learning how to draw using only lead pencils.  I used this drawing for the cover of one of my books.
 
 
 
It always amazes me that you can create folds, valleys and actually make a basket that looks like a basket with nothing but a pencil.
 
How is your week going, thus far.  Tomorrow is Hump Day, so if you've been having a bad week, after tomorrow, you're on the downward slide of the week.  I understand it's to be a nice weekend, hot but I know many of you like the hot climate, so plan something fun for the weekend.  I realize that the public pools are not open as of yet, but there are many fun things you can do.  How about a picnic?
 
 
This Thursday through Sunday of last year, I was in Ocean City, MD.  It was so cold and windy, at that time, that I couldn't stand to be outside.  My friend and I purchased hot chocolate because we were so cold.  It's funny how the weather changes so often.  I really miss the four seasons of the year, but I suppose I will have to take whatever God gives us and be satisfied with that.
 
In conclusion, let me wish you all a good evening and a safe one, also.  I pray everyday that God will help bring peace into our world.  Be kind and thankful for everything that you do have and accept your life as it is.  You'll be so surprised at the many blessings that will come your way when you choose to live with Gratitude and Acceptance every day.  I promise you contentment and joy!
 
Have a nice evening...
Susan
