Quite right and that's the way to think about it. <br /><br />Rejections only make you more determined. Speaking of clingy, my son is constantly clingy and I find it hard to get anything done. He's 25 years old. Yikes.<br /><br />The start to my New Year has rung in some upbeat changes.<br /><br />Thank you for being part of "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary." :)<br /><br />Welcome to 2014 and a new adventure.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-62168254143469818062014-01-10T01:16:25.715-05:002014-01-10T01:16:25.715-05:00If you're stuck in a puddle, it means there...If you're stuck in a puddle, it means there's higher ground all around you, so you're moving up from there.

With the idea that what I do on New Year's Day, I'd find myself doing throughout the new year, I did a wee bit of scribbling, from a writing prompt. It's nothing thrilling, but I felt good for the exercise. Ask me how much I've done since then? Better yet; don't.<br /><br />Here's the thing about mud, Christine: as a facial, when you wash it off, your skin glows.
