Death by Didgeridoo by Barbara Venkataraman

I am thankful to Barbara Venkataraman and Anya Wylde for gifting me copies of their books.

I am thankful I work at home for an awesome company.

I am thankful that my friends and family are healthy.

This month I tried to focus on the positives.

Thanks Rona! 😡 But just rolling with what happens and thankfully I was able to just reschedule for September. I was suppose to be on vacation, reading and relaxing on a tropical island. It’s certainly not my best and not what I had been planning on. I read more, wrote more, and posted more. I finally broke my 3 book stalemate and gave a 5 star rating! I am feeling good about April.

There are so many other things that I enjoy doing as well and I don’t want to forget about those or spending time with the people that I love. If I do, that’s awesome, if not, its not a big deal and people will not unfollow me because of it. I also don’t need to feel like I must write a blog post everyday. I am working on breaking this unhealthy habit. I have a tendency to set goals and then obsess over them. In that time, I remembered that reading books was not a competition on how many I can get through in a month or a year but something that I love doing. I, like so many, experienced an emotional tribulation that took a few months to overcome. But we made it through and are settling in to our new normal, whatever that may look like. It felt, at times, like we were living in one of the books we read, and not one we want to.

2020 was definitely not a normal year for any of us.
