Dear Granddaughter #1,
I think it is time for another Grandma letter. This is an important one to me because I have so many ideas to tell. I hope you are well and comfortable with all that is going on in your world and the worlds around you.
First of all, when I call you, please sound a little joyful. Even if you do not think I am the greatest, make me think you think I am and make me think you are glad to hear from me. Why not? What does a little cheerful sound and a lovely lilt to your voice cost you? Nothing. It is also good practice. Sounding cheerful always gives the person on the other end of your conversation a good, happy, feeling. I know you are not responsible for the way others feel, but you are responsible to be cheerful as much of the time as humanly possible. It is good for your electrolytes. It is something good.

Chapter One: The Blog
FULL CIRCLE
“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it’s the same problem you had last year.”
John Foster Dulles
Bits and Pieces from a Grasshopper Mind is a blog technique I will be using to write this book so that I do not have to follow the templates found in the books I purchased thinking I would learn how to write a novel. I poured over them, all twenty-eight of them, and not one suggested I write the way I write.
Grasshopper is a book that will create a metamorphosis in your mind, which allows you come out thinking how you can use what you have experienced.
Have you noticed that unique thinking is round and comes full circle? More
