Moving on

Sometimes its hard to move on with your goals and dreams. In the last few years I have had this blog and a handful of articles I have written.

There is also my novel that is yet unpublished. Sure I could have self-published years ago. I would have spent 2,000.00 on getting that done and may have made my money back with a bit extra.

Sometimes it feels feudal to still have the same goals and dreams, but no one ever won by quiting. There is the Festival of Books coming up, something I plan my year around. Yes its "book worms unite" for the weekend at UCLA. I plan on buying a nice big coffee table book again. As I get older I really want the art books I couldn't afford when I was in my 20's.

It makes me feel happy to see all the people that love books there selling and buying all these things that have taken people years to get off the ground. Yes it fills me with hope.

Since I also love to read, it so much fun to see what other minds have come up with. In some ways that's the biggest thrill. All the books in the books stores and library's are filled with ideas some one else had. Sometimes there are more than one idea form one writer. When I see books its like looking at a well planned garden with a sea of flowers. All showing off for us.

Ok, maybe that's over stating it a bit. I just enjoy and like to celebrate others creativity. What did this one say or do, how did they find a way to express themselves? It never gets boring. In that spirit, I have to keep moving on to my goals and dreams.
