We must do the best we can with what we have, right? :-)<br /><br />Michael:<br />Life certainly has its own schedule and its own mind! May your wrist heal quickly!!

I have stopped being discouraged and comparing myself to other more established and brilliant writers/bloggers.<br /><br />We all have our own special light and my it sparkle for all to see! Yours certainly does....

So I do what feels right to me.<br /><br />Sometimes that light you mention is within, Roland, and sometimes we find that light in others. The light can mean many things, however, and what it means to you may be a bit different than what it is for me. I like to think, like Galadriel, that it lights my way. I don't need to search for it.<br /><br />Good description of discouragement. It is a wedge and a wedge is meant to split things, destroy the cohesion, and break that object apart. <br /><br />Have a good weekend, hope you aren't working too hard.D.G.
