day three, just for the record, but on into infinity hurrah

 Ok, so this is starting to feel good and regular and natural... the floodgates are opening and my oomph for writing is gaining momentum... Had a little bit of an idea for a new novel in Nanowrimo, a story of a contemporary soul on the path towards enlightenment in this modern-day and age. It will allow me to dive into my love of both spirituality and the supernatural... I will jump completely into a work of fiction and leave as few traces back to my own real-life as possible. I was afraid of writing something based in the horror genre because that is not something the world needs more of now. But I can have elements of supernatural horror that will show how this person has gotten from where they were to where they are going. And of course, it will involve the healing of relationships with both the living and the dead.

Holy cow I had no idea that this fleeting idea that entered my head at a traffic light would have made it to this page, and begin to become real! See? There is, for me at least the power of having a blog to think out loud upon. This is something so valuable that has been missing from my life and I'm honest to goodness grateful for having it back.

Not sure what else I want to talk about now.. maybe that was all that I really needed to get out here on paper right now. I will not do my brainstorming for the novel here in the blog, I do that better in a separate paper and pen notebook.

I will mention that it is raining right now, and for the first rain of the season its coming down pretty well. They say that in the next 5 days we may have up to 5 inches of rain. I went for a walk in the woods earlier to give up prayers of gratitude for this storm and asked the angels in charge of our weather to bring us months and months of rain like this. Last year was one of the dryest rain seasons we've had in decades. The first rain didn't come until the end of November and the hills didn't turn green until January. With this rain we are getting today, the green hills should start to appear in the next week or so. SO WONDERFULLY GRATEFUL!!!
