Yes, today is just another day, fresh and warm with bright sunshine. Unlike other days, it is a day of many decisions, deadlines and so many things to do. I've had a dreadful week of playing catch up since I was away last week. I'm certain you know what catching up is like, especially if you have e-mails to read and respond to, and still have all of the daily chores to do. What amazes me is how we manage to get those 'unimportant' things done, just in the knick of time. For example, I am a writer and editor, working on marketing copy for a publisher today. The deadline to get this epistle is approaching, and I'm rushing to meet this commitment, while glancing at the dust on the desk, furniture, carpeting that needs a good vacuuming, and the dogs needing attention. So, here I rush, attempting to be Super woman, while knowing full well, she was a fictitious character. Me? I'm supposed to be a woman capable to bring home the bacon, fry it and do all that super woman did. On second thought, maybe I should become a witch -- twitch my nose, blink my eyes, and make everything disappear, with exception of Shamus, Shasta and Shakespeare.

Yes, today is just another day, but for me, and hopefully for many, a day for new birth, new growth, and new interests. Now, I must get back to the grindstone.

Tomorrow is a new day. A day for me to get refreshed. Maybe if the sun is out, I'll find inspiration and motivation at the beach. Now, there's a thought! The beach!
