For me, a quick walk around the block when I arrive at work, helps me break between the morning and other thoughts and transition to thinking about my students. I often spend that time praying and asking God to be part of that part of my day. I miss this ten minute transition in the winter when it gets to cold to do this little transition. Do you have something similar that you do during your day?
This picture of our pooch about sums up my time at home right now. It is time to be in the sunshine after another long Indiana winter filled with grey skies and cold. Our puppy has decided she is a solar energy collector and is spending extra time on the patio, especially when one of us is out there reading. This last weekend, our 17 -year-old son was in the chair next to her reading Pride and Prejudice. He was flying through it, and it was such fun to talk about the characters and the other classics he wants to read. He’s determined to read good books. As an author, those words are music to my ears.My ten-year-old and I are almost through the Little House on the Prairie series on audio. The Long, Hard Winter definitely gave us some perspective as we listened to it while we had a foot of snow. Yesterday morning, Laura and Almanzo got engaged. I definitely need recommendations on the next classic series we should listen to together. Be sure to give me recommendations below!
Speaking of Book Talks, mark your calendar now to join me on May 4th, when Robin Lee Hatcher is my guest. I’ve had such fun chatting with all my writing friends, including Becky Wade and Deborah Raney. If you click here and say you’re interested in attending, Facebook should send you reminders to pop over. My assistant and I are also working on turning these into a podcast, so even more ways to listen in.
