THANKSGIVING > Thanksgiving is almost here We waited the whole darn year It’s not the same as years before Still you will find me at the door To welcome family to my home And even those who are alone The table is set, the turkey done The time for us has begun I am thankful we had this day To be together come what may It is time for all of us to part I thank you all from my heart
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, PAULA
FILLING THE BLANK PAGE
When I began writing my first story, I faced the blank page and sat, staring at it for some time. I was hesitant, thinking, am I confident enough to tell the story? Do I really know how to create characters that face the difficulties of life, in a time and place designed by me? I needed advice from other authors, past and present, and began by searching the internet for guidance. I found an article on quotes they wrote, and read all of them. They inspired me to type MY FIRST WORDS on that blank page.
Below are a few inspirational quotes, I want to share with you and hope they help you as they did me, to fill that first blank page:
“YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING BUT A BLANK PAGE”…Nora Roberts
“I START WITH A QUESTION. THEN TRY TO ANSWER IT.” Mary Lee Settle
“FILL YOUR PAPER WITH THE BREATHING OF YOUR HEART”…William Wadsworth
“IT’S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS THAT YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE. LET THEM THINK YOU WERE BORN THAT WAY”…Ernest Hemingway
“I KEPT ALWAYS TWO BOOKS IN MY POCKET, ONE TO READ, ONE TO WRITE IN”…Robert Louis Stevenson
“THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS TO STOP SAYING I WISH, AND START SAYING I WILL.” …Charles Dickens
“START WRITING NO MATTER WHAT! THE WATER DOES NOT FLOW UNTIL THE FAUCET IS TURNED ON.”…Louis L’Amour
My thanks to author CHELLE STEIN, for providing these Quotes.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD IN THE STATE OF THE UNION IS…UNION
TIME TO VOTE
Tomorrow, November 3, 2020, Americans Vote.
We are one people—one nation,
voting for our choice, together, Unified, to select the President of our United States, as well as local candidates .
It is a privilege we, as Americans enjoy and should be proud to participate in. We live in a great county, with many opportunities, and benefits.
Remember those who fought and died for this privilege and honor them by voting.
And regardless of who wins, be proud you voted and support those who did.
YOUR VOTE MATTERS.
Paula
