This post is not about me playing funky music. Nope. It’s sort of the opposite. I’ve been in a funk lately. I haven’t been in the mood for posting. It’s not that I don’t have ideas, because there are several subjects and notes stewing, patiently waiting for their turn to be revealed.
I’ve also been writing my novel, which has been taking up time used for my blog. I’d say it’s a good thing, but the novel is still moving verrrrryyy slow.
I know it’s summer, but over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a bit of the doldrums (for reasons I won’t bore you with). Thankfully, now that I live back in my hometown, I have family and friends nearby to hangout with and keep me busy. I’m still visiting blogs. I’ll comment when the doldrums aren’t too bad, otherwise I’ll let you know I enjoyed your post with a click of the Like Button. My usual-self will return eventually.
When I’m bummed-out, I don’t let it stop me from doing things. I do plan on enjoying our American holiday tomorrow (Wednesday), celebrating freedom, liberty, and independence.
In the meantime, I’ll post my inspirational affirmations. They help me and perhaps can inspire others.
Thank you for sticking with me. May everyone have a wonderful holiday and beautiful summer week.
I hope that you emerge from the doldrums soon Lori, I’m glad that you’ve got the support you need on hand as that will make all the difference.

I hope you had a good day yesterday and that it cheered you up! This writing lark is anything but and I am not surprised you find it difficult to post and write a novel! Enjoy the fiction work, drop a line here when you can! We are a tenacious lot and will stick around! Lovely to hear from you, Lori. Hugs xx

Here’s hoping your funk lifts soon. At least you’re getting some writing done, but yes, the book-writing business is a slooooow process. Happy 4th to you!

Sometimes it’s hard to get motivated, but once you start, it usually picks up momentum. I guess the trick is to get started. Happy Independence Day tomorrow.

Hi Anneli. Not feeling up to par these days, health wise, so the motivation for posts isn’t there right now. I trust it will return. Thanks for the happy wishes. Have a great week. 🙂

Hi Jill. thanks for the nice comment. The first photo is my neighbor’s yard. The 2nd is taken from my front stoop. I love how blue the sky looks in that 2nd one. I’m still getting out and grateful to be home. Just not feeling up to par these days.
Proud to be American and on this Independence Day. Have a happy 4th! 🙂

I haven’t been in the mood for posting blogs. It’s not that I don’t have ideas for blogs,
you mean blog “posts”, right?

love the flags in the fits image – large and small – and maybe matched moods and needs – sometimes we are out there a lot with shares – other times – a lot less (and best wishes on the novel))
