Some days you just have to take a breath and take a break. Today is one of those days. A day to recharge and focus on things that have nothing to do with stories or characters. But as you can see, I couldn't steer completely clear - I haven't banned the blog. But during prime writing time I am not writing and that's a good thing. Stepping away gives me a different perspective.

| Poppy - the national reminder |
Tomorrow I have no doubt that I will be more determined than ever to push forward. Already there is a new plan in place that will take me to the same goal that I had before the road block, just in a different way.
While my initial thoughts were on what I would and would not do today, I was reminded of something much bigger. Of the constant conflicts of mankind that are complex, seemingly unending and that sometimes put us all in jeopardy. And that fact alone is sobering but more importantly today as the eleventh hour comes and goes, I think of the sacrifices so many have made to protect the freedoms we all cherish and I send a silent thank you.
Today is Remembrance Day a day to remember why we have the freedom to forge our life path in almost any way we choose. It's a day to remember something bigger than each of our individual lives and challenges.
Sometimes it's all about perspective.
Lest we forget.
