Oops, was in the middle of correcting my grammar when the message was prematurely sent. Everything happens for a reason, huh? The unintended ending has to be taken as a sign that I was going down the wrong path so I'll take my initial advice and reflect and ponder a bit. Thanks for your stimulation this morning getting me to think about how I can live better.
I'm going to let this sink in and reread again and again... It seems you are writing about living and not necessarily about writing. The challenge is analogous to my life's work educating and motivating people to change their daily health habits that culminate in their present state of health or lack thereof. It's mostly an unrequited love as the few able to accomplish the transformation are few and far between although their success is a testimonial to the effectiveness and incredible power of making the correct daily choices that unequiciaaly shaping our lives.
