The beast and the beauties

Haven't mentioned the story in a while because I was having major struggles and long periods of self loathing after reading the first several chapters. Of course it didn't help that it was juxtaposed against some great books I've been reading. I was pretty much ready to toss it out the window and hope a passerby could do something more with it. I obviously could NOT.

I've heard that happens.

This afternoon, I made a simple fix. I switched the order of a few of those chapters, and VOILA!, I'm moving forward again. Amazing how sometimes all it takes is a little thing to make a story work so much better.

So, today's beauties ... I'm in a bird rut.

1) Sight: Two birds flying in PERFECT tandem, like an ice skating pair about to win a gold. No matter which way the one in the lead turned and dipped, the other was in perfect synch behind.

2) Sight: Blue bonnets and red bonnets and primroses finally making an appearance in the medians after a long, wet, chilly beginning to Spring.

3) Scent: The incredibly rich, delicious smell of brownies baking as we walked into the girls' piano teacher's house today.

4) Touch: The soft underside of her baby's foot as we played with her during lessons. Couldn't resist running my finger up and down its length several times even thought it obviously tickled!

5) Sound: Hearing a favorite song played in the background on a Scrubs rerun. (The World Spins Madly On/The Weepies)

If I use a smaller font, it looks like I wrote a shorter post! Yay! ;)
