Rocketing Off into A New Year

I would like to wish you all the best in the coming year! May you be blessed every step of the way! I hope you have dreams come true and get to meet your goals. May it be a prosperous and happy year, filled with joy and love. May all the bad days be behind you, as you start fresh and begin again.

It’s a new year and a new day! Enjoy!

Sincerely, R. Kline

BTW…the mushrooms in the picture at the top look like Ravenel’s stinkhorn to me. That picture was taken in Wrightsville, PA along the Susquehanna River. I didn’t know what a stinkhorn was then, but I eventually learned when some friends got me interested in mushroom hunting. Now I love it!

The Last Day of the Year

It’s time to say goodbye to 2025. It’s time for remembering the ups and downs, the good and the bad. Try to make peace with this year before you move on to next year.

This isn’t just the end of this year; it’s the beginning of next year.

Do you have a resolution? I do. It’s to finish the book I am writing. I am very excited to git ‘er done.

Stick around this blog and watch it happen. I have a good start, and I might be sharing some excerpts soon. I also want to share some of my poetry with you. I want you to be able to sample what is available in my books before you buy them.

In the coming year, please feel free to reach out to me. I don’t mind, as long as it’s not weird. I will also be reachable in the community, where I plan to have a daily influence. I also started my own bipolar support group there. It’s free to join the community and make use of what’s available to you there.

Come back to my website and blog anytime you want! You’re always welcome here! Take care!

It’s a Good Day for Delivery!

It’s cold and windy, and I decided this is a good day for ordering something online. Forget about cooking tonight. I am treating myself.

I was busy working on UNHINGED today, while I am off work. I forgot about time and didn’t bother to have lunch. I realize this late this afternoon, and it’s almost time for supper. I am so glad there’s a pizza place a block away. The food got here fast.

And damn, that pizza was good! Some of the best I have had.

It was a very productive day. I spent time working on the “skeleton” of the book. That is like an outline that puts everything in the order I want the book to follow. It lays out the direction I want to take and defines specific parts or sections, which can later be turned into individual chapters.

This is probably boring as can be to you, and I am truly sorry. I am saving all the good stuff for the book. This blog (at this point, anyway) is mostly about the writing of the book. That might not be very exciting to some.

I plan on spending the evening doing the same thing I did all day. Writing. Planning. Organizing. After today, I feel like I am really getting somewhere. There’s so much to discuss and cover. I have a long way to go, but I am satisfied with my progress to this point. After I get further along, I will begin sharing some of my writing on this blog.

All of the photography you see on this website is all my own copyrighted works. For more than a decade, I have been compiling a collection of photographic works of my own. These are nature photography, landscape photography, portrait photography, real estate photography, and more. Photography is a hobby that I very much enjoy, as well as potentially being a source of income.

How was your day? How have you been? Were you busy? Did you remember to make time for yourself today? Relaxation and recuperation are important. Don’t forget to recharge yourself!

Thanks for stopping by! I have to get back to working on this book now. Have an enjoyable evening! Take care!

It’s a Cold Winter’s Night!

It’s freezing outside, and it was only 64 degrees in my house. I turned up the heat, and I am making a cup of mint tea. It started snowing a little while ago, when I was on my way home from an appointment. The wind is blowing so hard that it is snowing sideways!

I couldn’t wait to come home and settle in for the evening. There really is no place like home! I don’t think a day goes by without me counting my blessings for having a roof over my head again. It’s a wonderful feeling to someone who knows how it feels not to have a home.

The tea is going to taste very good while I settle in and get comfortable writing about a lot of scary experiences for my new book, UNHINGED. I’ve gotten off to a very good start on my memoir about the last five years. I hope it ends up being everything I dream it will be. Who knows? Maybe I am meant to be a writer after all.

The tea is ready, and it’s time for me to get busy with the book. This is enough blogging for now. It’s time for me to say good night. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening! Take care!

Thanks for stopping by!

We’ve Had Visitors…

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I can see from the stats that we have had a few visitors over the holidays. That’s exciting!

Keep coming back! We appreciate your interest. Stop by anytime! I am constantly working on this website and blog. Please feel free to join the community and set up a profile. I want to build the community into someplace where people are free to share and be a source of support for each other. It’s meant to be a friendly and encouraging place for those with some form of mental illness. Please join!

We also have forums available if you are interested in posting questions or comments. That is, if people still do that. Lol.

I have only told a few people about this web address, so I wonder who was trolling over the last few days? I was hoping someone would leave a comment or join the community and message me.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon!

Sincerely, R. Kline

Saying Goodbye to 2025

As we reach the end of the year, it is time to look back and reflect on everything that happened this year. It’s time to think about what went wrong and pray it doesn’t happen again. It’s time to think about what went right and try to have more of that in the coming year. It’s time to remember and carry those memories with us into the new year.

I think this was a good year. I managed to spend 90% of it in good mental health. I accomplished a few goals I had set for myself, an apartment and a job. I didn’t manage to get my license back yet or get a car, but I have high hopes for that in the beginning of the coming year. That would help me to meet some of my other goals, like getting back into nature and landscape photography, restarting my business again, or spending time traveling.

I pray it’s going to be a good year for us all! I really have a good feeling about what’s to come in the new year. I don’t want to get specific, but I believe we will all prosper.

Building this website may seem like a big thing, but it’s a relatively small drop in the bucket when it comes to everything I have to do to get my business up and running again. It’s a step in the right direction, and I am going to keep moving in that direction.

Do you have a New Year’s resolution this year? Like a lot of people, I would like to lose some weight. I hope to do that by being more active. It shouldn’t be too hard in the beginning of the year because I have a job that lets me do a lot of walking. I was even thinking about joining a gym, once I get a car again. Having a car will make a lot of things possible.

So, what’s your resolution? Anyone care to share?? Maybe you haven’t given any thought to that yet, and you are waiting until New Year’s Eve. In the coming year, I am hoping to make this blog livelier and more interactive. I haven’t been ready to drive any traffic this way just yet.

Take a moment to stop by the community and join. It’s a social network, just like many others you’ve heard of, except this one is meant to be a social support group. If I can find enough people to join, I would like to see it become that.

There are also forums on this website. We have the ability to post questions or comments on a board, where others can offer responses and replies. I imagine it will take a while to get that to be something that is active, if people even do that anymore.

For anyone utilizing my services, I have a client portal available, too. It allows me to invoice a customer and receive payment for services rendered. I am looking forward to this, since it might make business easier for everyone involved. Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?

That’s all I got for now. It’s not even 5 AM yet, and here I am, hard at it. I have a lot to do, and I am writing a book on top of all that. I even have plans in my mind for another revision of Reflections. I truly hope that book someday goes to print.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the rest of this year, and I wish you the best in the coming year! Take care!

Sincerely, R. Kline

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas! I hope you get to spend this holiday with your loved ones. I am staying home this year. I plan on taking the time to rest and recuperate. I will probably cook a nice meal at some point, and I think my friends are dropping off some leftovers the day after Christmas.

This is a good time for writing. It will help get my mind off things. it’s good to stay productive, especially during a time that is so hard for so many.

Let’s try to count our blessings during this holiday season! I am thankful for family and friends. I am also thankful for the roof over my head and for the job that pays the bills and puts food on the table. I am thankful for every blessing God has bestowed upon me, and I am praying for better health in the new year.

I hope you have a good time this holiday season! Maybe Santa will put something nice under your tree? Take care!

Merry Christmas!

Sincerely, R. Kline

It’s Monday

Time to start another week. Where did the last one go??

Christmas is this week and New Year’s is next week. It’s hard to believe another year has just about passed us by. The older I get, the more quickly time goes by.

My goal for UNHINGED is one year. By this time next year, I had better be done. Getting it published is a whole other story. Lol. I refuse to worry about that right now. I have plenty of other things to worry about.

I am hoping to make good progress this week with my writing. I plan on staying home for Christmas and spending the holiday by myself, resting. My regular job has had plenty of overtime these past few months, and I am worn out. I am looking forward to enjoying some rest and relaxation.

I also think I will use the time wisely and be productive by writing. As for today, I will be writing until I head to an appointment this afternoon. I had a fairly peaceful weekend. Some friends dropped off some cookies yesterday. It was nice.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Monday! Take care…
