I am feeling tired this morning. I have 6 short articles to finish by this Wednesday. I will be paid for them which is great, but I am not too interested in the subject. They are about loans and financing. I started my research last night and continued this morning and I have about half of them researched, but I got to motivate myself to get them finished.

I also applied for two jobs this morning. One is a health-related newsletter. I am really interested in this one because I have written many articles on the subject of health and I feel I am very qualified to write the newsletter. I sent them my resume and three writing samples now I have to wait and see. This would be a weekly job that pays pretty well.

I am itching to write more fiction and poetry too, but like always the time to do this is so very limited!  I try to write something creative at least two or three times a week, but I should be writing something at least once a day...


Today is Barack Obama's birthday. He is 47 years old. Wow is he young to be running for President. Don't get me wrong I believe he is qualified and will make an excellent leader, but it just dawned on me how young he is and how much he already accomplished his relatively young life. I hope he has time to celebrate his special day with his loved ones and friends and has time to sit down and reflect on his incredible journey!

I wrote this poem a little while ago and I want to share it today:

BEYOND MEASURE

twisting winding roads

lead to an astounding

journey

nobody truly knows

where it will end

if the direction

of the path

is not veered

its gifts will be

vast and its

rewards will be

beyond measure

Have a great day all
