In the space of a
week, my state of affairs has turned around. Let that be a lesson: the moment
will pass.
Now, I'm content.
My latest novel,
originally rejected by the publisher, has been accepted. All my hard work paid
off.
The paperback
copies of my first book, Still Rock
Water have arrived and they look wonderful.
A member of staff
at the Hertfordshire library is considering three books for their stocks: the
former novel along with Wind Over
Troubled Waters and the second in the series I wrote with Edith Parzefall ,
Knights in Dark Leather.
And finally, a
friend put together a video for the song my character Liliha wrote in the novel,
Still Rock Water. My deepest thanks to
Rosalie Skinner, author of The
Chronicals of Caleath.
You can see the
video of Comic Book Story, the song here on YouTube. Wonderful.
The question is:
should circumstances affect our mood?

absolutely. It's all part of our big picture. Glad yours cleared up and congrats on a great week. Hope it continues on into 2013.
ReplyDeleteI am so very happy for you!! What wonderful news!!
ReplyDeleteI try to not let circumstances or events affect me negatively as much as possible, or not for long, if I can help it. I've been through so many things in my life--it's all perspective, to me. I ask myself, is this really life or death important? But I am more than happy to grab onto any positives with both hands and let if affect the everlovin' heck out of me--LOL! ;)
Coming from a decidedly Christian perspective the answer is no. We should not let circumstance effect our mood, our faith, our morals. Circumstance is always short lived in the realm of life. And we are to keep our eyes upon Him and not our circumstance. Likewise, our mood shouldn't rule our beliefs or our actions. We should be steady and always full of hope. But, in truth, we are fallable humans and we all at some point let our mood run our life or our circumstance effect our mood, sometimes with disasterous results.
