I would want my younger self to realize that as wonderful as publication is, it isn’t the point of the writing process. It’s just a stop along the road. Writing is more about the journey than the destination. As award-winning author Anne Lamott points out, “Being published isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Writing is.” So don’t let your non-published status get you down. Just enjoy where you are right now.” ~ K. M. Weiland

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

So true and positive. Power thinking. 🙂
Terveen, thank you for your comments and insights. The wisdom here applies to everything, from writing to cooking a meal, to cleaning the bathroom. Toss yourself into it and enjoy it. Yah, it’s possible to have fun cleaning the bathroom, play music, sing aloud with the artist and believe you’re as talented as Picasso when scrubbing the toilet bowl. LOL Shine on. Have a great day. Ray
Lol. Now that’s a fun and unique perspective.
I agree with you, Ray. 🙂
