In fact, I HAVE blogged on the weird twists of fate in my life! LOL! I love looking back on those turns in awe. I also try to figure out some sign at the time that warned me of what was to come so I can perhaps recognize the signs of future changes. But it doesn't work that way.<br /><br />Great post! So serious! I thought it was New Year's that made us introspective? :)Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-38874029055174796472009-10-14T22:37:20.355-04:002009-10-14T22:37:20.355-04:00Sheila~

But never in a million years did I think I'd be doing PR (always thought I'd be an editor, but I hated editorial--not enough patience) for ROMANCE novels (those books Mama J reads?)!

What a difference two years makes!

My knees were around my neck and sinking fast so I had to go buy and blow up a new one. The trick is getting the pin all the way in. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Terry. I'm sure your Army officers would be shocked but happy for you.<br /><br />Marie~<br />Tell me about it. My son is 16 and almost 6' tall. I remember when I could hold him in the crook of my arm.<br /><br />Carla~ LOL I still get confused. Who knows where I'll end up next.<br /><br />Ameilia~ Life is surely a trip, isn't it?<br /><br />Judi~ I guess some of us get lucky and get what we want, others, like me get a surprise. Life is like one big surprise party.<br /><br />Cheryl~<br /><br />I guess that's as good as way an any.

Me--I was a writer long before I knew I was a writer and long before I became a published author. <br />I like what John Lennon said and someone said, Life is a journey not a destination. Wow!

I know what you mean about &quo...Great post, Robin. I know what you mean about "how did this happen to me?" I feel that way often now that my oldest child is in high school. The time has gone by in a blink of an eye! <br /><br />I have also experienced this phenomena in my day job. When Dan was stationed in MD in the Navy, I worked for a lovely nonprofit in Alexandria, VA, doing a job I truly loved as the communications director. I didn't love my commute, but the job was fantastic. I was truly bummed to know I'd have to give it up when he was transferred in three years. Well, three years later, I was about to have my son and then move to FL, when my boss at the time asked me to stay on as a telecommuter. What the heck was that, I wondered? Now here I am eleven years later working from home, about to celebrate my 14th anniversary with a company I was only supposed to be with for three years. What was it John Lennon said? Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. <br /><br />The good news? I still love the job. The bad news? I have to jam my writing pursuits into a very small window of time late in the day when I am super tired. But it's okay! I can't imagine giving up the fabo day job until the youngest kid is done with college. Since he's in 5th grade, I have miles to go before I sleep (and write full time).Marie Forcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550719567520289405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-58866867254948174442009-10-14T08:17:40.956-04:002009-10-14T08:17:40.956-04:00I always loved to write, but I never imagined I...I always loved to write, but I never imagined I'd be an author. I wonder what my fellow Army officers would think of me, writing werewolf romances. Probably shake their heads!! Although I was included in an interview for MOAA (Military Officers).I did see that an AF Base picked up my books, too, so that was pretty neat! :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
