Connie,
You are so right when it comes to getting through what could defeat you mentally and emotionally. I chose to look at my glass as half full, not half empty. With a loving family and great friends who supported me, I came away with a greater appreciation at how precious life is. Like I always say, everyday is a gift. Don’t take it for granted.
Warm regards, Peggy

Jan,
When I look back at what I went through, I marvel at how determined I was to step through that doorway of pain without letting it defeat me mentally. I had great parents, who had a strong mindset when it came to looking at the positive side of life. Things happen to you for a reason. It’s what you do with the situation that determines how it all turns out.
Thanks for the positive feedback on my covers. I always love to hear I am doing something right.
Warm regards, Peggy

I remember emailing you at the time of your injury, and in an attempt to cheer you, saying that I hoped you would somehow include it in your book, and that I would be looking forward to it. I have found in life and have shared this with others, that when we are faced with difficult situations, or setbacks, or illness, or injuries, that it is important to push through and overcome them. It’s not the circumstance to be conquered that is so important, but rather how we get through them. Your experience and your willingness to share it with others will have far-reaching impact to your readers and to those they share it with. You may never know the total impact, but that doesn’t matter. The Lord can use very ordinary people and their experiences in his master plan.

Peggy, I didn’t realize this happened and I can’t imagine all that you had gone through. Glad you kept a positive attitude and things worked out. It’s hard to keep a good woman down!!! 😀 The covers for your series are lovely, btw. Hugs to you!! ~ Jan

Although a firm believer in fate, I could’ve done without all that pain. But when I look back on that time, I realize it’s the pain that jarred me to be prepared for anything, and I mean anything. I’ll tell you one thing, I walk real careful down the stairs now. You know, I think Victorian people back then had much smaller feet…just saying…chuckle.

Loved this blog, Peggy…..Everything happens for a reason although that is difficult to absorb with so much pain!!!! Keep ’em coming! Everything that happens to writers can be a source of imagination!! And opportunity is not usually at the front door….it is a subtle tap on the back window…..And you have proven that over and over again…..

I admire your stamina and always enjoy your books. While I hope making lemonade from lemons is not a habit with you, please do continue writing and I look forward to the next book. Terri
