My formula for success lately comes from going to bed early, getting up early, exercising, and doing &#8220;mental&#8221; work in the morning. Housework happens in the afternoon, and most days, I take a short nap. At the very least, I try to read when Mark reads and write when Mark writes. On good days, I also practice the violin when he plays the piano.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, no pictures of the kids today. I&#8217;ve taken some but haven&#8217;t edited them.

The only other person I know who is writing her memoirs is dealing with a terminal illness. Some days I feel like I&#8217;m doing something crazy that no one will want to read. Other days I feel like I must be very self centered to think that my experiences are worth sharing. Other days, I write something that moves me and I can&#8217;t wait to share. The Doppler effect of memories is always on my mind. I am trying not to distort my story with too much sentiment earned by time and a different perspective. The truth is, there have been a steady mixure of rough days and good days and I am trying to figure out how to share them to connect with someone who might be going through something similar.<\/p>\n<p>After indulging in the literary equivalent of a selfie each morning, focusing on myself and loving the time, I try to do something completely different, preferably for someone else! I think that I&#8217;m happier for the time spent writing, even if it means that must I get up\u00a0early to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found this on Pinterest but couldn&#8217;t find the original source.
