BLING BLING

My last post was how I imagined my future writer self...

I made it look easy, no? 
I just imagined it and...
       **BLING ** 

It happened...

Living and writing in the Mexican Caribbean, that is.

And I told the story like I was living a fairytale...

But in my real world...

There were many crooked and gut-wrenching turns:

Failed marriages...

Breast cancer...

Deaths of dear loved ones...  

Including my beloved just a year after joining him in Mexico...

Plus many other heartaches & frustrations.

And I know you’ve had your share of sorrows...

Everyone has them; no one is immune.

But despite all those sadnesses...

I dared to dream...

It’s what I’ve done all my life...

I remember when I was younger my mom often saying...

“Your teachers say if you didn’t daydream so much

You’d get better grades.”

       **SIGH**
I know mom...
And if I could say to her now...

I’d tell her that those daydreams are what kept me going...

They’re the reason I write today...

I always see stories...

Usually humorous ones.
So?
What about you?

What keeps you going?

Always,

Em-Musing
