It takes tremendous courage (and probably a lot of heartache) to step out so boldly, so late in life. <br /><br />I'm pretty feisty, so I rarely find myself too bamboozled. However, when trouble comes to call, I first find myself running to the Lord, and then often to my believing Home Team buddies, or even my own sisters.

He allows my characters to become members of our family, helps me plot my stories, helps me celebrate each of my victories--no matter how small, hugs me when I'm overwhelmed or battling bouts of doubt, and never ever says "<i>if</i> you get published," but "<i>when</i>."

So many of them think they can do it all and have it all BY THEMSELVES. They don't need God, or family, or extended family, or dependable friends. Its all about image and 'being up for it' whatever that happens to mean at the time.<br />People say that old people are the lonely ones, and they are, many of them, but younger ones are in a different way.<br />I'm sure your Mom appreciates what you do to support her, even if she seldom says so.
