You know those friends that seem to get just a little pushy with your business on occasion? Well, I’ve got one of those. He’s pushy. Not so much like a direct push-you-down-the-stairs kind of way. But a sort of nagging, poke-you-in-the-ribs, gently, nudging, kind of way.
I have been feeling less than inspired these days and this friend took notice. We have become pen pals, of a sort. Those of you too young to know what a Pen Pal is, look it up! It’s fun! I’ve found that he’s a terrific listener. 🙂 With everything that is going on in this world, it’s important that we stay connected in some way, even if it cannot be in a physical way. Thank heavens for the internet, right? So I now have this new “connection” with someone that I haven’t had before. It’s been nice!
In a recent correspondence, my friend said to me, “Just Write! Don’t worry about what you do – Just Write and you can go back later and look at it again.
Not everything is a hit – Baseball players are stars with a batting average of .300 – only 3 out of 10 at bats with a hit.”
That is a terrific way to look at it, isn’t it?
I’m starting to get that itch again to write and have written a few things here and there. That “spark” has begun again!
So, Thank You, Dear Friend, for nudging me, poking at me and most of all for being there for me. ❤
