Thanks Tim. I would like nothing more. My prose is better than my poetry, but I wouldn't know which road to take, or how to find a publisher. I guess I would need an agent. Thanks for your words of encouragement and support. You can have my first autographed copy of...whatever :)

Hey girl, how's the back? A sore subject, I know. The quote is brilliant and meaningful, or you wouldn't say so--and I know better than to argue with you :) It's better than a lot I've read lately, so why not? Take care of yourself and Abby (is there an e in that--I forget) And remember, no hill is too high if you're determined to reach the top! xoxo...Mel There's a quote there someplace :)

Elieen, my good and loyal friend. How are you? I'm glad you like the quote, especially since I value your judgement. There are so many average quotes that have been published, so why not me? Maybe this will be the one thing I'm remembered for in a hundred years lol Smile and be well, my friend...xxx...Mel

Thank you Arthur. I have quotes pop in my head now and then, so I figured, why not write down a couple. I have a book of quotes (two), and some are no better than mine. Anyway, thank you!!!
