Hello, Fellow Writers!
Carol
Causey
Life
is so full of surprises that we never know what is going to
happen or what we are going to experience from day to day.
That’s why it’s so important to appreciate every day for
the joys and even the sorrows it may bring. It’s all
part of learning what we do and do not want from life.
And when you experience the “do not want” things, they
make you try all that much harder to create what you do want.
Just make a concerted effort to turn those negative thoughts
into positives, and nature will soon support you in every way.
When
you see a glorious sunset or unexpected fireworks in the
distance, a sense of wonder and excitement passes through you
and makes you glad to be alive. When you finally fully
recover from the flu or other illness and are totally back to
normal (whatever that is), it makes you fully appreciate
feeling healthy again. I just love walking to the edge
of the nearby field with my dog, Tanner, at dusk on a summer
evening to watch the fireflies and listen to the silence.
But I’m not too crazy about that pesky mosquito dive-bombing
past my head, deciding my ankles are his yummy buffet.
This beginning of the summer incident reminded me of what I
don’t want, and the next time I was prepared in my jeans,
socks and sneakers, much to Tanner’s chagrin as it takes me
that much longer to get out the door. And soon we’ll
be able to hear the rustling of falling leaves and the intense
beauty of their brilliant colors.
These
experiences are so worthy of writing about. What’s
your favorite pastime or adventure? I hope you’ll come
to our next meeting on September 18 and share it with us.
Until then, have a glorious day, and
happy writing!
̶
Carol Causey, Immediate Past President, CPWO |

Our Mission
The
Central PA Writers Organization was founded to bring
local writers together to share their writing and ideas.
The group is open to the general public. Those who wish
to do so can bring samples of their writing to be
critiqued by the group. Speakers of various backgrounds
in writing are invited to talk about their field of
expertise, such as publishing, editing and other areas
of interest to the group. There is also an annual
writing contest with several genres including fiction,
non-fiction, and poetry.
