Up between 4 and 5 every morning. Coffee, front porch, watch the sunrise and birds wake up. Simple pleasures are the great pleasures of life. Today’s theme—don’t let insight become hindsight. I write until seven, then coffee with my wife. Usually in bed but sometimes not. So, what's up, what does the day bring, and other discussions. Kids and grandkids... always. Arthritis and knees are reminders of my fragility. Five-minute daily stretch I call the English muffin. Put muffin in toaster, do exercise while waiting. Feels great. Breakfast and clay studio work next. Nap? Every day! And friends? Always room for friends and conversation. TV, limited. Dinner and conscious eating—sometimes. Attempting to improve that. Weakness for sugar. Back to writing in the evening. Such fun. Selling books sucks. I'll get over it... someday. Dream big and sleep well. I'm a day older, but who cares?
