If you were really committed, you would have gotten it done.
(A comment I got privately in response to my book review today. Some folks are very messed up in the head.)
Kevin, that’s terrible. I can’t understand how sad a person’s life must be to send a mean comment to someone they don’t even know. None of us know what is going on in your life. Maybe there are more pressing things than finishing a book review.
How hard is it to just be kind? That’s one reason I love the space Lesa has created. It’s a daily reminder that there are many kind folks.
Lesa, enjoy your down time. Hope it’s not full of errands and boring stuff.
Ha! I’m sorry about that.
Always take what you need. I was feeling worn out yesterday, I didn’t read, I took nap and went to bed early. I think my body needed it. Figure out the pace that you need and be flexible is my advice!
Thank you, Carol. I finished it today, but didn’t sleep well last night, so I did nap today. I’ve been trying to take care of myself lately.
Upon entering the library yesterday I immediately spotted a a book with a prominent JAMES PATTERSON. I found myself wishing I’d made note of the page number where you made your appearance. Of course it was a totally different one word title-minor detail.
That’s okay, MM. It’s chapter 30 with 3 pages, so won’t take long if you do find Paranoia.
