What a month.
It has been a great, wonderful, excellent month.
I have reached, i think, the very bottom of my emotional depth. Only to be taken over by nature.
I have not watched television. At all.
I started, and almost finished, my NaBloPoMo novel.
Three days ago when i was hunkered down in my friends house i went to go write and my novel was gone. All except 13,000 words at the beginning and 250 at the end. I was so sad. Devastated.
But, now? I am ready to soldier on. I will finish that novel.
Shane is redesigning my book of poetry.
I have learned how much i love nature. How much it hurts me when the world takes it for granted. I was the one at BlogHer bitching about the lack of recycling. I love animals immensely. We see at least 50 deer a day, but i still slow down every time and point them out to my kids.
I have learned how much all of you mean to me. You are all a part of my life. Every single day. You make me happy. I am thankful for that.
Don't go away. I need you here.
Happy December.

Congrats for gutting it out, Babycakes!
Would you believe that it is even snowing HERE tonight? It will be gone soon, but it’s coming down now.
And I can’t WAIT to read all your poetry.
Mwah
how did the novel disappear?? that is so tragic.
I’m sending you a big hug.
You make me smile.
Oh no! I’m so sorry about your novel!
Oh, don’t worry! We’re not going anywhere!
Thats terrible that you lost your novel! I love the pic below of the snow you all got. Its gorgeous.
I am glad you care for nature, too. I am always saying hello to little birds and wonder why other people don’t. I give thanks that my parents always pointed out cool plant things – leaves, seeds, etc. – bugs and animals to me.
Reading this makes me happy – for you – for me for being able to read you.
Not going anywhere.
you’re so brave.
and we’re not going anywhere.
I hope you are feeling well and staying WARM!
Is is mean of me to tell you it’s in the 80′s here and I was at the beach yesterday ;o)
Go away? Huh? I don’t know if you realize this but it’s us who need you. How tragic about the novel! I am so glad that you are not completely gutted about that. It would probably be the last straw for moi. Congrats on nablopomo!
Love reading- not leaving.
Thanks!
What a beautiful entry, Jess! You can count on me not going away. I’m glad to be among your readership.
