Obstacles, Obstacles!

OceanTime

I am trying to write a book: Ozias, Prince Enthroned, Part 2 of a trilogy. I had to shut it down for the winter. Now I want to get back to work on it–only to run into obstacles and impediments everywhere I turn.

Suddenly I’ve got three physical therapy sessions every week. The next day, I’m stiff and sore all over.

Previously scheduled doctors’ appointments.

Can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep. Worry, worry.

Now that’s funny! When I actually list these annoyances… well, they shrink. It ain’t that big a deal, I can handle it. If I had an upside-down exclamation mark, I could shout defiance in Spanish: “Alcaldes a mi!” (“Bring on your cops!” As in “I don’t care!”)

I depend on God to help me in my work; and so far He always has. My books are written in His service.

So let’s get to work already!

  1. I know how frustrating these things are. I am much less efficient in my old age, and I am
    certainly not pleased about it, but I just try each day to do something useful. I know you
    are in much better condition than I am, but also understand how irritating it can be. I can see it in my 66 year old son. He is still swinging, but is suffering for some of it
    I willl keep praying for you
