My new book

I'd like to post an exerpt from my newest attempt at writing a book. I lost my other one when my home was burned down in 06. It was too heartbreaking to start over after I already had written 18 chapters. I haven't found a title for my new one yet, but here's a short bit from it...

She'd been alone for quite some time, since her husband left 4 years ago for Iraq and never came home. She wasn't unhappy so much as lonely. She was sitting on her bed staring at the alarm clock. It was still on the nightstand on his side of the bed, she hadn't gotten rid of his belongings and everything in the house was still the same now as it was then. " I have to get ready for work," she said out loud to her dog, Kevlar. She was a pretty woman, 5'6" slender and in shape. Her hair as blonde as the noonday sun was as unruly as the wind. Celia Thompson was a strong gentle kindhearted woman. She slowly rose from the bed and reluctantly went to shower.Kevlar the faithful German Shepherd following at her heal. " No bath today silly dog, I have to work. We'll go to the park when I get home and you'll get your bath tomorrow." Unlike most dogs Kevlar loved water of any kind. He was a large white german shepherd with blue eyes, anyone that met him thought he was a wolf and were afraid when they met him, but were soon won over by his gentle ways. He whined begging for a bath. After she showered she made breakfast, bacon and eggs for her and Kevlar. As she sat down to eat the phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.It was her mother Bobbi, who was as beautiful as her daughter at fifty."hello darling. How are you today?"she asked hurridly. " I just called to see if you have plans for Friday night. I met the most darling man and I'd like you to meet him." Quick to answer Celia said," Mother you know I don't like blind dates. I'm just not ready to date yet." "Phooey!" Spat Bobbi." It's been four years since Paul passed, and at thirty two you're not getting any younger. Besides I still don't have any grand children, and I don't think your brother will ever settle down. He loves horses more than women I think." Her older brother Jarred owned a ranch and gave riding lessons to handicapped children. At 35 he was a handsome man but as weather worn as an old cow hand." He's a wonderful man please say you'll go. You'll like him andyou have a lot in common. He has a black German shepherd female that I'm sure Kevlar would enjoy too!"pled Bobbi. "Let me think about it Mother, I haveto get ready for work."growled Celia.She hung up the phone put the dishes away thinking about what her mother had said. It's true she's not getting any younger, but is she ready to date again? She still missed paul so. "well", she thought. "I don't have have time to worry about that now I have to get ready for work. She owned her own veterinary clinic, and helped the local rescues with their animal care.

Blogging...

I really haven't been faithful as far as blogging is concerned. I've become addicted to facebook. It's so cool- I can read about everyone I've lost contact with over the last twenty years and catch up. It's fun to interact live with so many people.I feel i have lost so much by losing these people in my life. There's nothing I can really do to make up for it, except say I'm sorry, and I've always loved and missed you all. I might have done better had I kept them in my life. I sure know they keep me going every day. Kind words, Support, and just plain seeing their lives and pictures makes me feel better. maybe I can help someone or make a difference, maybe not. I can, at least, let them know I'm paying attention now. I do care. And i kinda need them, more now than ever before. If you're a facebook friend reading this- thank you. I love you and I'm sorry if I've ever hurt you or done you wrong.
I've laid here in my house crying for 4 years- ENOUGH! I'm starting all over again,and this time, with the hand of God I'm going to do it right.I may say somethings someone doesn't agree with, or has a different opinion, but aren't we all supposed to have our own opinions on things? well, Mark my words- This year is my year for growth and change. I WILL SURVIVE, I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. PHILLIPIANS 4:13

Well, it's 3:39am, and I'm still awake. Another insomnia night, with ambien. Oh well it gives me more time to research my studies before school starts!
