Who Moved My Cheese?

Coping with change. That's something I definitely want to and will do.

I just finished reading a book on a story involving two mice, and two little people, in one maze where they sought cheese. It seems like a bed time story at first, but it's a story filled with little pointers and reminders for the readers to take with them as they journey through the maze that is their life. I should get a copy of that book, and have my family and friends read through the very nice pages containing this quite simplistic yet though and insight filled story about two mice and two little men, cheese and a maze.

Seeing myself, I feel like the mouse that found out that cheese has run out at cheese station C, and it's time to move on to another cheese station, or set out finding New Cheese. I definitely felt the fears of changing myself and my outlook about things, but now I should know better and move on. Move with the Cheese and Enjoy it! That's something definitely I will be doing for this time in my life. Now I really feel that there might be things out there for me, and all I need to do is go out through the maze and find these things for me. I know what I want, and I want to get these things that I want. As how the book put it, cheese is something that makes me happy, and the maze is the place where I spend most of my time in search of cheese.

Now I know that life should be treated as a maze and that I should keep moving through the maze in search of that which I think will make me happy -- and when I find it, prepare to move through the maze again, just so that when the Cheese moves, I'd be prepared to look for New Cheese. It definitely makes sense.

Chill.

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with.

Grief and Mourning

I've not been writing for a long time already but this time I can't keep this to myself. There's been too much happening to me and my family the past few days that I need an outlet. I've tried talking it out, being silent, and crying it out. Right now though I'm numb. I don't know whether I can keep this to myself and if I do I don't think it will be a good thing. Maybe other people have had the same experience or at least gone through the same thing. Maybe just the act of writing this out is going to be enough to make me feel something. There was a time in my life that I had thought I've been through everything. I thought everything that can happen to me would be something I can deal with. There was no doubt in my mind that I can handle anything. Unfortunately this latest one that happened to me and my wife wasn't something I was prepared for. Nor was I ready to deal with it in a manner that was controlled or well-thought out. I thought maybe if I...
