Another beautiful day

That's right, it's another lovely day out there. I am getting work out of the way, and thinking of getting an espresso in town or perhaps go to the gymn later? I don't know what happens. I joined the gymn over two months ago nearly and I haven't set foot in it yet. And this is not the first time either...A sure way to lose money,but at least I joined the cheaper one...
Otherwise it is a quiet day, though I may be going out for dinner later with friends.Tomorrow I am meeting an old friend, Su Woon, whom I haven't seen since graduation nearly three years ago. It can be hard work trying to keep in touch with everyone, but it's great when you do see them. I am sure we will have a lot to catch up with. I have Carmel and Marcus' wedding to look forward too and I am so pleased for them. It will be fun that's for sure.
Isn't it funny how things don't happen for ages and then everything happens at once? I will make the best of it, to compensate for the quieter or sad times. I can't help it, I am an optimist by nature. And in my mind, I am already in Manhattan doing all the things I love doing. Have already booked a Yankees game just for the hell of it! Not that I am really into baseball but more for the atmosphere. Charlene is very excited about the idea.I think she will play along with my impulsive acts!
As for writing, I am hoping to do some this week. If not, I will write when I am home. I'm going on Saturday evening until thursday,just enough time to catch with the family and a couple of friends. My mom's operation, though pretty straight forward, is obviuosly playing on my mind and I am just glad to be there for her. At least in the recovery stages. My grandparents will be showing up too. I haven't seen them for over a year and a half, far too long.
Well, better go back to work for it calls!

Sunny days

It is a gorgeous day in sunny Lancaster and I have been day dreaming of summer holidays...I am oncall for psychiatry, so I am tied to the place, but in my mind I am travelling far! I am going home for a few days next week, so at least I should be able to enjoy the sunshine then...How I miss walking barefeet in the white sands, feeling the soft breeze against my face and swimming with the breaking waves...I guess I am getting rather nostalgic at the moment!
I have a week off coming up soon and I was hoping to pop in to New York, however my financial committments at the moment might not allow it. After all I have recently bought a house, and everyone knows how much it costs to furnish it and so on...Either I put it all in the credit card or perhaps be sensible for once. What do you think?
As for my writing,I am hard at work with the promotion but I am hoping to soon have more time to write my short stories and novel. It doesn't matter anyway since I am doing it for love and fun...

Early days

And so it begins my online journal, coinciding with the launch of my first book,a poetry collection entitled "The days of Fall". However as with any small, independent publisher I am having to do a lot of the promotion myself. Still, it doesn't diminish my excitement of having my work printed. At the end of the day, one is being honest and passionate when it comes to the wonderful craft of writing, don't you agree?

So if you are a poetry enthusiast, here are the details:
