As you know, two years ago I had the bitter experience of discovering that my book storage was faulty, so half of my beloved library wound up feeding up the wood stove of some friend. What can I say? Beloved books are organic and get moldy unless you get a decent library. And sometimes I still dream about those mighty books.
Yikes! That sucks! …I just found out last year that I can borrow digital books from the library!!!! For free! They have lots of oldies. …But, oh, losing the marginalia! Yuck.
Dear Fabulous Melissa. Barcelona will certainly have a moment of grief with you missing.
Stuff represents past memories. Are you shedding memories and looking for the newly born Mellissa readying to spiral up? Perhaps what wants to stay, a favorite, can come with you. You know I know. I am in it, too. Yours is like taking hair removal and ripping the hair off your legs in one swept....Painful and final for now. The new hair will come and maybe with it a new dress or bobble to reward the courage of the new you. Make no promises, you are going into new territory and getting closer to your new creation-YOU.
My.journey is slower as I discover the meaning of old memories merging into new. It takes a lot of shedding and a lot of courage.
Love you dearly and I remember our memories that I wear inside not outside. But a new chapter deserves a great title and a new book a new cover. I am so very proud to know you and have walked in memories of what makes you the Fabulous Melissa. Take sweet care.
I love the history quiz! I never thought to look for the authors name. BTW I got 100% but I may have taken it before. Good luck on the move!
Thank you. Actually, there's never been a byline before...
I want that dress! 🤣

Aww, thank you for your kind and thoughtful words, Gayle. XO
I went all in to Kindle about ten years ago… Still have a lot of books!
