I have yet to write today after wrapping up a shift at @LowellArts Artists Market located on 223 W. Main St. until 5 pm.

I will be at Artists Market next weekend, Dec. 9 from 10 am to 2 pm, and Dec. 10 from noon to 5 pm. Stop by to check out my books from the Shifting Sands Short Stories collection and Greenwich Meridian Memoir.

It’s a beautiful market with a variety of unique gifts ranging from jewelry, ceramics, paintings, fused glass to knitwear among others.

Of course my favorite are Petoskey stones and jewelry made with them. I love rocks, stones and geology.

Today is also the first Sunday of advent and a very short one since Christmas Eve is on Sunday.

I have learned about the three elements of Advent: penance, longing and hope.
