Serenity Saturday (3/8/2025) - Girl, Where have you been?

 So much for 365 blog posts in 2025. I made it to the middle of February though. I was going to try to catch up on the days I missed, but then the number got so large I considered just throwing the laptop out the window and going into hiding. Is there a witness protection plan for overextended writers?

Obviously the laptop is alive and well and so am I. I may still go back and fill in the blanks, but as for right now, I'm here and I'm writing. I'm toying with giving up blogging for Lent. That was a lie - I gave up blogging and I'm thinking about blaming Lent and those two things are definitely not the same.

I just don't know how to find the time for everything. I want to be the best employee, the best mom, the best looking and healthiest version of myself, the best author, the bestest of friends, and an amazing musician. If only there were more hours in each day or more days in each week or if I were superhuman and required less sleep - or even better, no sleep at all! 

How do you do it? How do you juggle everything? I want to be working on my novel, organizing my closet, baking sourdough since that's all the craze, and I should be at the gym, prepping fresh cut veggies, and making my own granola bars while arranging beautiful floral arrangements and finishing my crochet project. 

Did someone say we need toothpaste?

Today's post was penned by Crystal J. Casavant with the help of her deep forehead wrinkle, Charles.

Crystal Casavant writes. Everything. If you follow her blog you have likely laid eyes on every thought she has ever had. Her debut novel, It Was Never About Me, Was It? is still a work in progress and shall be fully worthy sometime in 2025. She has written for WOW! Women on Writing, Bring on Lemons, and has been featured in several magazines and ezines relating to credit and collections as well as religious collections for confessional Lutherans. She runs a busy household full of intelligent, recalcitrant, and delightful humans who give her breath and keep her heart beating day after day. 

Crystal wears many hats (and not just the one in this photo) and fully believes in being in the moment and doing everything she can to improve the lives of those around her! The world may never know her name, but she prays that because of her, someone may smile a little brighter. She prides herself on doing nice things - yes, even for strangers! 

May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and may you always remember the world is a better place with you in it and it's always a great time starting again.
