Me is a full time job

Typical day: Wake up, go to work, come home, clean, laundry, run errands, get kids, take kids, fix food, clean, interact with kids (since they are mine), send everyone to bed, go to bed, and in the midst of all that, find the time to write, edit, promote, research, and finally.... breathe.

See? It's a full time job. And hopefully one day I will look back and say I accomplished something big, whether it is in the satisfaction of my children enjoying a good life because they learned their morals and values from me, more so from God, or also in that my writing career has shown fruit by my hard labor. It is a daily thing and a good thing. Everyone needs a reason to go through the everyday grind. It is even a better thing when it is spurred on by a labor of love.

We don't sell ourselves by standing still. We never have. Even as children we stared at the people over our mother's shoulder, batting our beautiful lashes while smiling when they smiled and talked to us without a single word of understanding. As the years progressed, we learned that a step forward and a hand held out gained the trust and friendship to those we reached for. Today is nothing less. Only technology has helped in the promotion of self. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, blog, blog this, blog that, email, gmail, thismail, thatmail, and on, and on. For some, it is for the self and the interactions of friends and people with like interests, while for others, it is the same with the exception of adding to the promotion of our own interests in the form of selling the world something we want them to have, intellectual or physical.

I'm sure in some form over the hundreds of years people have been around, this is nothing new, just the way we do it is. Tomorrow will probably involve even something greater and easier to share us with. So please forgive me as while I enjoy the interactions between friends and others of like minds, I will also benefit from exploiting my craft of writing and try to sell you something that while you may not need, in the end will be glad you have. Sit back and put up with my blogs, my twitter, my facebook and all the extras in order to communicate with everyone and sell you a story that I have spent much time with in between being me.
