You really need to read Anne Rivers Siddons. She has written a lot of books, will keep you occupied for a while. She is a southern writer and I think her personal best was "Peachtree Road". Also of course, Pat Conroy, author of many books, personal best "The Prince of Tides". It will definitely take you a while to go through all the books these two have written.

Popped into Wallie world last night and picked up a Janet Evanovich book,...Finger Lickin Fifteen,...Stephanie Plume series,......sounds spicy! Read a quick first chapter and the girl is hilarious!!!

It's a series, so you'll miss some of the undercurrents starting with 15... especially the chicken story... but fun none the less.

There is nothing wrong with you... I have the same feelings most of the time..... I think the problem is that we have too much energy in our heads...We want to accomplish everything... we want to experience life for all it is worth... we want to see places... do things..... it isn't the romance .... it isn't that we don't have a good life and we are dreaming some silly dream....
It is because we want to live.... experience.... to have a meaningful existence....to not be taken grated for... we definitely want to smell the roses.. if we can ever find them...

You could be going through a mild depression but I don't really think so... I have been there too many times... I have been married 36 years now... Ups and downs and everything inbetween. Demand respect... and give respect. and if people do not listen to you... walk away.... no need to say anything...quietly walk away and leave them hanging for once.

I have always been the glue that kept the family together.... you know what I am learning???? They can get their own glue!

I thank you all for your great advice

(even on reading material

). Today was much better and things seem to be getting brighter for me. It is hard sometimes when you feel like you are at the end of your rope,..but we have to learn to cope and keep moving on I guess. I have many more years left on this earth and I'll take it as it comes,...
