Eva’s Byte #463 – You Can Never Have Enough…

An open-ended query, my own answers range from:

The high-minded - kindness, compassion, selflessness, integrity, generosity, independence, self-reliance, and books.

To the quirky – shoes, gnomes, pieces of sea glass, rocks, bird feathers, and bold jewelry.

It never fails to come to my attention during fall or spring cleaning of closets, cupboards, and cabinets—I have more than enough hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray. Begotten during the pandemic panic when purportedly there was a shortage of germ-fighting products to be had, I apparently made out like a bandit.

In the capacity of a writer, I can never have enough time to get down to business. Nevertheless, I’m in the throes of drafting chapter 53 (747 words thus far) along my Contemporary work in progress.

*May each of us have an abundance of self-confidence to succeed on our own terms.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.

Eva’s Byte #464 – Mother of Invention

"The true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention." Plato

Throughout the years, out of necessity, my elderly mother has proved herself an unconventional inventor.

Last week, she slayed me:

As customary when I take my mother back to her residence after our weekly get-together for breakfast or lunch, she heads in with a couple of bags containing supplemental provisions. In one of the bags I had put a few spring decorations for her room.

Touching base with her later on, she proceeds to tell me that out of necessity, she cut the string on a medical face mask to make a tie for a vintage-style teddy bear so she could hang it on one of the wall hooks.

Hoo-ah!

In the capacity of a writer, aren’t we all mothers of invention?

Out of necessity to get to the finish line of my Contemporary work in progress, I just completed drafting chapter 53 (1268 words).

*When in a pinch, may each of us rely on our resourcefulness to get ‘er done.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
