Eva’s Byte #347 – Humbugs Aside
We all have ‘em—one or two, a few or more. Just because Christmas is around the corner doesn’t mean our humbugs go away. However, one either succumbs or casts them aside in the spirit of renewing our grip on life. That’s what I’ve had to do, or else the incongruities of situations could get the better of me.
Choosing to focus on my many blessings, there are a couple of ways in which I plan on retaining the meaning of Christmas all year long. The same ways I always have. More than likely, pivoting from the same principles a lot of people do:
Being mindful of others.
While I don’t have the means to carry out full-blown philanthropy, giving someone the benefit of a doubt goes a long way in promoting good will toward folks of all creeds and color. Reserving judgement by looking at all the angles is no different than what writers do to tell their story.
Believing in one’s own potential.
The world may not be a perfect place, but there is nothing stopping one’s imagination to foster creativity. In my capacity of a writer, I just completed the draft for Chapter 3 of my Contemporary Work in Progress.
*As we round the bend toward Christmas, may each of us cast our humbugs aside for the betterment of life.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.

Eva’s Byte #400 – Ready or Not?
Whether we’re ready or not, the New Year is heading our way.
Self-reliant, while hoping for the best, I try to prepare for the worst. I don’t put off till tomorrow what can get done today. Let me assure you, I pivot from these two principles out of necessity rather than self-righteousness, thanks to Murphy’s Law. You know it well, I’m sure—anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
For instance: Preparing for “the worst storm in a generation” which made landfall on December 23rd in my neck of the woods, I backed into my parking space, same as I would whenever there’s a forecast for inclement weather. Never thinking I’d have reason to drive in the pouring rain with wind gusts up to 70 mph—sure enough, Murphy’s Law struck. So, I took off like a bat out of hell to tend a matter of importance that couldn’t be put off till tomorrow.
In my zeal to hope for the best while preparing for the worst, I’ll be scheduling a routine maintenance appointment at the dealership for my vehicle in the New Year.
In my capacity as a writer, I’m drafting chapter 25 ( 759 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress, hoping for the best as I approach its finish line.
*Ready or not, may each of us brave any unforeseen elements in the New Year with resolve.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
