Friday Funnies: Look on the Bright Side ...




Hello My Happy People,


I have to admit, I have been a tad out of sorts the last month or so. So many things in our private life here in Germany have been crazy with P.R. starting a new job, us both catching a bad cold (not Covid, thank goodness) on vacation, and me trying to get back in to the swing of things after taking an actual vacation from book stuff ... among other things.


The weather was nice for a few days but has since turned chilly and occasionally rainy again. But on the bright side, it could be a lot worse. I am starting to get over my cough, which was the worst part of my cold. I actually was coughing so much and so hard for a while that I pulled a muscle in my back. It was exhausting.


Now that I am feeling better, I am beginning to feel excited and motivated about my books again. If you listened to this weeks podcast, you know I'm feeling very ambitious too. We will see how well I can get my "experimental month" to work out. If it does work to bolster my creativity, it could open up a lot of opportunities for me for future projects. Keep your fingers crossed.


We are getting closer to the She Inspires awards ceremony in Bolton, UK and I am so looking forward to this. It will be amazing to be in the same room with so many female entrepreneurs and accomplished, influential women. Not to mention the community of men who are there to support these women. It will be an incredible event!


I am going to wrap this blog up now so I can get some writing done today while I have time. P.R. and I are going out tonight to celebrate his new job so I have to wrap thing up early today.


If you missed the Halloween cover reveal for The Touch, you can check it out below along with a better photo of the cover art. The last frame of the video did not do the cover art justice, but I really liked the spooky video montage so I just went with it knowing I would have to post good photos of the cover art later. I would love to know what you think of the cover. If you saw it on a table in a bookstore, would you pick up the book and read the back?


Have a great weekend people!!!

Dianne

Look on the bright side ... if you drive way too fast, you don't have to worry about cholesterol.


Look on the bright side ... if you borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect to get it back.


Look on the bright side ... you may not look like Barbie, but if she is really so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?


Look on the bright side ... bacteria can make you sick, but they're the only culture some people have.


Look on the bright side ... you may be in the wrong lane and going the wrong way, but at least everything is coming your way.


Look at the bright side ... if at first you don't succeed, you can always destroy all evidence that you tried.


And last but not least ...


Look at the bright side ... if you laughed quickly at these jokes jokes you are ahead of the game, because he who laughs last, thinks slowest.
