Time, is there really ever enough of it? No, not really.

How many times have you heard someone say they wish they just had two or three more hours in a day to do something? I’ve heard it many times throughout my lifetime. It’s probably been like this since the beginning. However, no matter how much we would wish it to be true, we will always have just twenty-four hours in a day.

The thing is even if we did have those two or three more hours in a day those wouldn’t seem enough either. We’d always want more time. So what do we have to do to make those twenty-four hours work? I think it simple, yet can be very difficult at the same time. We need to learn to manage our time better.

However, sometimes we look at time not as in hours of the day but like time is getting away from us. Then, one day, something happens in our lives to make us realize how truly short life is and that time is oh so precious. That we need to make the best of our time today because we never know when that time might be up.

I wrote a lot about time through my grief journey over losing Mari, especially that first year. Here are a couple of posts I wrote about time: http://mommysangelinheaven.com/2008/10/23/time-2/ or http://mommysangelinheaven.com/2008/12/27/time-and-how-precious-it-really-is/

In the end, time is what you make of it. I’ve learned that you have to make each moment count because in the end we don’t know when our time has come to an end. Mari taught so many of us that it doesn’t matter how old you are that when God know we’ve served our purpose then He brings us home to Him. Just think, I know I will get to see my beloved baby girl again someday. It’s just a matter of when.

Taglines, or better known as dialogue tags, have been used in writing clear back to the Bible. They help the reader to know exactly who is talking during a scene. However, today, many publishers are moving away from dialogue tags as this is more telling than showing. Adding an action…

S is for Slush Pile #atozchallenge

April 22, 2014 Kristena Tunstall 2

The dreaded slush pile. No one ever wants their manuscript to be tossed into this pile. All their hard work given up to chance that maybe someone just might pull your manuscript out and read it thinking it was the next Nicholas Sparks or Nora Roberts best-selling novel. Unfortunately, for…
