English: William de Brailes (active c. 1230 — c. 1260) was an English 13th century scribe and Early Gothic manuscript illuminator, presumably born in Brailes, Warwickshire. He and Matthew Paris are the only two English 13th century manuscript illuminators about whom we have much personal information, since he signed two manuscripts, and his life is otherwise documented.

Daily Prompt: Ebb and Flow
Our blogs morph over time, as interests shift and life happens. Write a post for your blog — but three years in the future.
Photographers, artists, poets: show us LIFE.
Hi folks!
When I look back three years
and reminisce
about what life was like then —
I smile
Back then I was very hopeful
and I really applied myself
A lot of my pursuits
have yielded success
Other things have worked out as well
Dave and I finally have our two households merged
and there is actually a place for everything
*downsizing feels great!*
My eating disorder has left the premises
and I am leading a full, recovered life now
I am now a published author of a book —
Some manuscripts for other books I wrote
have been turned down
but there are still a few more on my list to tackle
Of course, who is to say I can’t try polishing my rejected manuscripts?
I now own and write for my own magazine
thankfully it’s online, so I can work it remotely
I am still editing and proofreading others’ manuscripts
(also remotely)
and I like reading and writing book reviews
I still have my day job
that I’ve had for 27 years
I like the benefits I get there
but at times I wish I could write full-time
I won’t be retiring for awhile
so it’s best I keep using time wisely
so I can write as much as possible
Best of all:
I am a seven-year cancer survivor
still as feisty and funny as before
although maybe a little bit stronger
I am playing tennis and swimming again
life is wonderful ~ ~
What has changed in the last three years of YOUR life?
