Everything that happens to a person can and probably will be judged by them. It’s up to all of us to make the call, is it a good thing, or a bad thing? We decide.
At the moment, I’m healing from the effects of a fall. I’d name that fall as a bad thing, for sure, but it wasn’t my worst ever. i’m still feeling pain as a result of the fall, several days later, but it’s getting better.
And it has given me ideas I may be able to use in my writing, and in fact have been using, in my blogs, and on social media. I’m wondering whether this experience may be used to ‘beef up’ my cosy murder mystery that I began some time ago, adding real life experiences to make it seem more real …
And this quiet time, well, it’s not the worst thing in the world, that’s for sure. Rest and rehabilitation leads to thinking about life, what is important, what isn’t, and what will be the best things to get done, once I’m getting back into a more active life.
And at least this sprained thumb isn’t as difficult to deal with the broken ankle I had at my previous serious fall. I haven’t even had this thumb bandaged up, although that may have been a good idea. It wasn’t spoken of when I was at hospital on the day it happened, but I’ve been thinking it might have been a good thing.
But resting quietly at home for the most part is fine, something I enjoy, looking outside at the sky, and he trees and smaller plants outside, very pleasant! So I honestly can say the results of this fall, while painful, aren’t all bad …

The biggest part of my fundraising will happen at the event where I will be launching my new Poetry collection “Leonard Cohen Is Dead”, which I hope will be a well accepted new book, because I feel this may be my best book yet!
And even though I may be slowed down at the moment, I’ve still been able to think about what I need to do when I get out and about again. Slower times, can give more opportunity for considered thought, and that’s always a good thing!
