As Tom Dundee the late folksinger once penned: "don't look for Love, Love looks for you". I'd like to write that book you proposed, i've narrowly escaped the "plastic wedding cake ornament" traditional life of married oblivion, (not that I've got anything against cake...) and also the "OMG i'm almost 50 and don't have anybody" trap. I'm presently living happily ever after since True Love finally came along in '94. But on the other hand, I DON'T regret a moment of the time I spent alone when not really looking for anyone. A person is happiest when living in the "good old days" and realizing it at the time. <br /><br />thanks for the joy you bring to others<br /><br />ggary guetzlaffhttp://xlsior.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274884909599684322.post-7012273411376638862009-11-12T13:47:36.390-05:002009-11-12T13:47:36.390-05:00I'll write a book about our road trip next yea...I'll write a book about our road trip next year, but since I never lived alone a day of my life I'd not be the right one to capture the feeling.<br />You made me think, though, and I believe I could not live by myself at all. <br /><br />if you like historical fiction, you should try Sharon Penman. She writes about the English Kings and Queens of the Middle Ages, and she does it very entertainingly.Mariam Kobrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490156509781232762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274884909599684322.post-54788818745586300352009-11-12T08:19:25.521-05:002009-11-12T08:19:25.521-05:00I am beginning to feel your pain...actors are now ...I am beginning to feel your pain...actors are now mostly younger than me, even my primary care physician is younger...<br /><br />I skipped sizes 6 and 8 (in pants); I started at size 12 at the age of 14 or 15, and I haven't seen that size since I was 17yo.<br /><br />I don't like talking on the phone either. <br /><br />Sadly, I am not a writer, so I can't help you out on the great novel :)June Houckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592512706384725633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274884909599684322.post-58392866040654738202009-11-12T06:50:03.733-05:002009-11-12T06:50:03.733-05:00You could have been talking about me there.

After 13 years of being on my own and bringing up my children the best way I possibly could [and they are a credit to me.] I took the plunge and married again........disaster!!!! why did I think the 'grass was any greener'...my little bit of heaven on earth is the perfect shade of green for me and after divorcing again, I am happy to stay on my own, apart from my furry friends, to the end of my days.<br />If someone does write the book, what sort of ending will it have....I will ponder that one at leisure!!!<br />Honey, you are as happy as you make your mind up to be. xxJenny S.

I have taken to reading mysteries myself! (I have found some super ones with historical detail - if you want lists, let me know.)<br /><br />It's astounding to me that many women will live alone to be happy while many men will live unhappily avoid living alone. (Divorce attorney knows whereof she speaks.)<br /><br />You are to be commended for being happy and content where you are planted!<br /><br />ZanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274884909599684322.post-26580308665771396102009-11-11T20:25:51.809-05:002009-11-11T20:25:51.809-05:00Since I can not edit my post.
