Good quote I heard yesterday, related to Buddhist thought. "The definition of happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have."
Yes, very Christmas card or fortune cookie type statement, but there is a lot of truth to it. Good old Tony Robbins recommends a daily walk matched with some time spent thinking of what you're thankful for. That's a bit too woo for me but I have to admit that at least once every day at the moment I stop in my tracks and laugh at how charmed everything seems to be at the moment.
Time to get back on the horse for the novel writing. I have outlined Book 1 and figured out the chapters that need adding before I get to Draft 2. I have also outlined Book 2 and will pound out a first draft of most of this for the July Camp NaNoWriMo.
Camp NaNoWriMo handle - "Perpetual idealist clawing back an essential thirst for life after a long
period of self-serving introspection and apprehensive equivocation thinly masked
as cynicism." A pretty wanky I know, but things are looking pretty on track right now. Now I just have to start chipping away at those new years resolutions...
