She closed with "No regrets." Would I be able to write the same? Would you? Leave off the last word of one of the paragraph's you wrote: "As if practical were the deciding factor in one's life." Practical pays the bills, practical keeps you out of debt, practical keeps your body healthy, but what of your mind? If you feel true passion about what you should be doing with your life, you will find a way to pay the bills. You will be able to kick the addiction to the steady paycheck. You will feel ALIVE. And that is what life should be about. Someday, I will be sitting in my rocker, reading your book........and thinking "what a great writer. I wish I could write like that." And just think of all those impressionable minds you will be able to stamp. Best wishes....R When a former sister-in-law died of cancer a few years ago, she had time to write her goodbyes.
