Slow news day. So, I'll catch you up on my goings-on instead of ranting. In terms of golf, I had an average 9-hole round today at the Lake Forest Golf & Practice Center. 41 for 12 over par. But, I am not discouraged because of two things.
1. It's okay to be average. Especially at something as challenging as golf.
2. I had an amazing opening hole. On the green in one, two feet from the pin. Sunk the putt for a birdie.
Gardening was on the agenda for most of the afternoon. I weeded, pruned, scattered "Critter Ridder" and planted two gardenia bushes. I'm wiped! No writing today. I'll catch up tomorrow and Saturday (even Sunday if I need to in order to hit my maximum goal of 10,000 words for the week). The good news is that I'm already above my minimum goal of 5,000 words per week. Plus I've written an article for the Start Small Start Now website and blogged. Phew!
As to good friends, I enjoyed breakfast with Renee' after golf and we had a great discussion about family, faith and recovery. So much fun to have a woman friend nearby with whom I can relax and chat.
Another friend thrilled me when she hit the "big time." Ms. Kelly Bozza, recently published author, was featured in Borders "Rewards Shortlist." Kelly and her writing partner, Matthew Emerzian, wrote Every Monday Matters and are spearheading a movement that's connected with the concept of making a difference every week. Check it out.
I think Kelly and Matthew are onto something.
