Monday

It's another Monday morning here in the Ozarks. I've been in a bit of a writing funk lately and have skipped my Monday and Thursday posts for a couple of weeks. In an effort to get back to writing I decided to skip the meditation post and just write about some random stuff in my head.

I believe that part of the writing funk has to do with frustration over our country's current political landscape. I have tried to stay away from political posts for some time, but I think that may change a little bit in the coming months. I will try to keep from being divisive or controversial and work on being more informative, knowing that even facts have become controversial since 2015 when alternative facts became a new name for outright lies. 
I recently downloaded the 900+ pages of the Project 2025 pdf and plan to read and share my understanding of the entire document. So far I've only read the intro and credits part. What I've read about the document is pretty scary, but usually biased from whatever source is sharing info, so I thought I would be better off reading it myself. 
You should probably do that, too.

In other reading...
After finishing the medieval fantasy series, The Ravenglass Chronicles (1800 pages) on my Kindle app, I went to the library and am back to reading actual books. I finished two Jack Reacher books this past week and will start on a David Baldacci book today. I may work in some non-fiction reading, as well, but I think I'll hold off on the P2025 stuff until I finish my current library stack.
I have done absolutely nothing when it comes to magic or ukulele playing and am probably more likely to continue in that trend than I am to pick up either of those things. I'm okay with that.

What are you reading?

I’m about 125 pages into “A Gentleman from Moscow”, which is such a pleasure to read. Beautifully written, great story (so far!), came very highly recommended by my MahJongg friends. The book is several years old and is probably available at your local library if you’d like to take a look.
