"Enough" is more than plenty!
One who knows firsthand how life can turn on a dime so things are no longer quite the same, I’ve learned to pivot from the notion “this is as good as it gets”.

A pragmatist, cynic, and skeptic rolled into one, I’m grounded in gratitude for the blessings of having “enough”.

Since money is the great enabler, having enough enables me to take care of the bare necessities: paying bills, putting food on the table, filling up the gas tank and maintaining my vehicle.

Without going off the deep end, having enough allows me to indulge in superfluous, simple pleasures I never take for granted: going to breakfast or lunch; having fresh flowers in a vase on my dining room table at all times; getting my hair styled at the salon.

An Indie author who dreams of becoming a best-seller, it’s enough for me to sell a book every now and then. I’m filled with pride and gratitude for each badge my books have earned for their literary merit.

Retired, I’m grateful for having enough time to ply my creativity to white space for my work in progress to grow in spurts. As for my imagination—I’ve more than enough to further this novel in the genre of Contemporary to the end.

Thank you for such a well-stated reminder of what one should be thankful for, Eva.

I look at friends who make quilts, scarves and hats. No, I'm glad to be making stories and novels. We writers are an odd bunch but we keep and eye on what's happening. Voicing our opinions through poems and stories whether fiction or non-fiction is an important contribution that we make to our society.

I am so thankful to have you as one of my author collaborators here on AD. And especially because you have found your center in retirement and have become a chronicler of your local Rhode Island environment. It's the simple pleasures that make us happy in life. But it wouldn't hurt to have a bestseller, wouldn't it?

I'm the same way. If one expects too much and then not getting what he/she had expected it would be a big disappointment.

I am the happiest person when I write, and if my books can sell I would be more joyous, if not, I would not be disappointed because I have not expected a big sale.

I only write to make myself happy.
