Better today!...
Tuesday, June 17th 2008
Sleep really does "knit up the raveled sleeve of care." Getting extra rest last night, getting good exercise today, and eating properly has really helped my outlook.Thought for the Day: Realizing I don't have to hide from who I am.

In an earlier blog post, I'm certain I mentioned that I was reading James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. I mentioned the book to a friend, whose response was to laugh aloud. Apparently the book was debunked as fictional. (See http://www.thesmokinggun.com/jamesfrey/0104061jamesfrey1.html for one account.) Now I'm trying to figure out if the book, originally read by me as nonfiction, has any value to me as fiction.Two main thoughts: a) I have not thought of myself as having any addi...
