There can be something cruel about people who have had good fortune. They equate it with personal goodness. ~Ann Patchett, The Sacrament of Divorce, Vogue, April 1996
I happen to be one of those most exasperating of people: an indispensable woman. I love reading more than just about anything (and, indeed, usually think in terms of literary characters). I try to follow the golden rule, usually come off as a goody two-shoes (which I probably am), and have the feeling that I am often not understood. I dream of babies, and a husband, and puppies. Perhaps one day, God willing.
