Posted 1:42pm August 20th, 2009Carol, good luck with your book. You finish it and I will be one of the three people that will read it.
“Pursue Your Passions” is such a great title. I don’t think I have ever had a great passion for anything except reading and I have been able to pursue that nicely through all of these years. Reading is something I do in the best of times and the worst of times. In the best times, reading simply adds another pleasure layer, in the worst times, it has been both my escape and my salvation. Books have often served as motivation to take that next step.

Posted 4:16pm August 13th, 2009Everyone here is an inspiration, and I'm sure there are many other people out there doing great things.
Youth is often "the magic time," the time we all look back on. I look back too, but too many people spend all their time looking back. Their heads get stuck in that position. No wonder their necks hurt. It's not old age, it's their heads pointed in the wrong direction.
When I was a teenager, I was convinced I would write a novel someday; but I was also convinced that I would not be able to fully do it justice until I was at least 50 years old. I have no idea why I picked 50, it just felt like the right age to write a novel. Yet all my life I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to write that novel.
I'm 51, and after doing a lot of other writing this past year, I have finally begun work on a story that has been begging to be written for over 20 years. I finally feel old enough to write it. Hopefully, I'll stay healthy and finish it. If only three people read it, that'll be good enough for me.
I'd also like to start a "campaign of awareness" about how hospitals and "skilled nursing facilities" use drugs to "control" older people. I could tell you things that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Anyone interested?
