Day 70 of 331 - Ten Weeks Completed!

Evening!
Well, it is 10:00 PM. I started putting the standing seam ribs on the main roof. I didn't start until about 7:30 or so. It was a bit tricky to make the seams, but I got that done after a number of unsuccessful attempts. Since I didn't start until late, and since I went to the gym this morning, and worked in the garden tonight, I was a little tired - but I got the heavy lifting done, so that tomorrow I'll finish the standing seams easily. I may go on from there - I probably will - and do the roof tiles on the porch, lower and upper tower. I'm closing in on the completed project, and it is exciting. The quality is pretty much what I hoped it would be . . . and that is good!
I had the feeling yesterday that I should focus on preparing lectures about my book. I started doing so. I did this in spite of the fact that every attempt to secure the venue I had envisioned had come to naught. I had set up a number of appointments with the owner of the property - a large home on some 100+ acres, directly across from The Pecans - two or three times, and in every case she had either failed to show up, or return my calls. Out of the blue today, her real estate agent called me, and we have an appointment to see the property Tuesday morning at 9:30.
So, that is a "small miracle," for which I am extremely grateful. I am definitely beginning to get my attitude right. I'm starting to truly understand the power of my subconscious mind. I'm learning to let go, and let things happen. An example of this is that my efforts to recruit people to SendOutCards have not seemed to bear fruit. I remembered, however, my initial vision of doing this through personal development seminars, based on my book. So, that has become my focus. I'm just not going to sweat "figuring things out" or "making it happen." Since doing that, things have seemed to flow much better. I will also say that I'm enjoying things far more with this approach. I have little doubt that this will continue to be the case.

Good night!

Mr. Wright
