I know my own elementary and high school years had lots of drama because I was a very dramatic child. I, too, had an incident in childhood that could have taken my self confidence away for good, but instead it did lead me to make some bad decisions that in turn led me to start making better ones! I still have to read your book but look forward to doing that.nancygraycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288996419936475583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-89992003780269418882012-07-07T12:13:53.843-05:002012-07-07T12:13:53.843-05:00Dear Friko, I, too, wish you all the best with you...Dear Friko, I, too, wish you all the best with your writing life. The thing is that you write so well and with such wit and forthrightness, that I've never read one of your postings--no matter what the subject--that I haven't found interesting, often provocative. You make me think.

I missed your postings in the last few days because of your taking time off and yet I so understand the necessity of that. <br /><br />The religion professor who taught my college class was a Benedictine priest and he always would say "In medio stat" (not sure of spelling) which is Latin for "the middle way." At the time, I thought "how boring!" but as the years have passed and I've had to learn how to be moderate. And thus, this posting!

We do what we can and what we must, don't we? I've not only enjoyed your writings, but I've also learned much and grown through the process as well. Whatever you have to say and whenever you say it, I will eventually be here, reading and laughing and crying and thinking. <br /><br />I admire you organization, Dee. An example for me ti emulate. Stay cool and safe as you work.

That's why I think you would enjoy both "A Cat's Life: Dulcy's Story" and "Twelve Habits of Highly Successful Cats and Their Humans." In both Dulcy shares her own story and she is such an individual. She always wanted me to be a one-cat person and she was so happy when ultimately that happened.<br /><br />Thank you for saying that you hope to "catch up" with my previous writings. There's so much there! But perhaps you've find something that speaks to you.

Age sure does make a difference in what we're able to do. I suspect we can accomplish whatever we wish, but have to find alternative methods of doing so. I'm definitely a work in progress, more like novice, with that!<br /><br />I'm new to your writing, thanks to Gary at Klahanie. He'd recommended I check out your blog, thought I'd find it of interest. He wasn't kidding! I adore your writing! Whatever you choose to do next, there's no doubt it will be fabulous.<br /><br />I'll keep myself busy this summer, while you're not posting as much, catching up with your previous writings; and I do hope to read your books - they must be just as wonderful as your blog. <br /><br />Best of wishes in your next endeavors, Kim and CindyLuKimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154456095628728984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-47351273147672229012012-07-04T11:17:02.661-05:002012-07-04T11:17:02.661-05:00Dear Arkansas Patti, I didn't know you started...Dear Arkansas Patti, I didn't know you started with a daily posting. I can't imagine that. To craft a story takes about three hours for me--writing, editing, polishing. <br />So doing that every day would be real work.
