I realized this morning how long it had been since I'd written anything in this blog. Unbelievable how time flies.

My son is now 14. A teenager who began his freshman year and had his first drum lesson last week. I hope he finds his passion in the drums. Everyone needs a passion for something, if not playing an instrument, singing, sports, writing, anything that furthers their inner talents.

I have a friend who has an artist's heart, she writes, she dreams of what could be and has struggled with hurts from her choices in men. But she has the talent to not just write but draw people into her life, people care about her and involve themselves in her life. She has 4000+ friends on FB, who gets that many friends on FB without being a celebrity? Just think the impact she could have with the written word with 4000 people?

I too have passion to write, but cannot sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) long enough to get started on that first best seller, I want to be able to focus long enough, but my every day prevents that from happening. Every day of work and responsibilites of home and family. Its passing me by. So maybe this will be my start, back to my true love of writing, not just idle thoughts, but substantial words that make a difference.

Raise your glass to Cody's Mom and her new day.
