Hello November 1st!

I celebrate this first day of the eleventh month, as well as the memory of my mother’s birthday. I miss and love you, Mom Lena Bean.

I am so excited to have posted my first words of my novel on the NaNoWriMo site.

I am also happy and grateful that I have come to peace with myself over being a care taker again, and also keeping our home in order. I have also had time for great creative projects.

I have finished organizing the upstairs and the basement. The kitchen is no longer the cluttered monster that it was.

I am grateful for October’s great friends, old and new. And the ability to write and post an article every week last month that is helping so many teens and parents.

I am grateful for the visit from my friend, Kelly, who traveled from Virginia to spend time with us in the latter part of October. We had a wonderful time.

I end by saying I’m grateful for my life and the ability and opportunities I have to keep being creative.

Chel
