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!
