Autobiography
The Time Of My Life
About a year after my separation from my first ex-wife, by chance I met a very attractive woman from Spain. She had a very pretty face, a great figure, and a friendly manner. In a very short time, I fell madly in love with the woman and set out upon building an exciting new life with her. Not for one moment could I have ever imagined what this woman had in store for me.

For a start, it was my birthday and the sun had his hat on and was coming out to play.

Mourning the Mother I Never Knew. Second Place in Chapters Challenge.

I have memories of a shrouded figure just standing quietly and watching me sleep, or a pair of kind eyes appearing out of the darkness. I don’t know if it’s true or even possible; I’m not a religious person, so there is no built in belief of such things.

self motivation
Self-motivation is the driving force that propels individuals towards their goals and aspirations. It is an intrinsic factor that fuels enthusiasm, determination, and persistence in pursuing endeavors, even in the face of challenges and setbacks. Unlike external motivation, which comes from external sources such as rewards or recognition, self-motivation emerges from within an individual, making it a vital skill for personal and professional growth. Understanding the intricacies of self-motivation and harnessing its power can lead to greater accomplishments, increased resilience, and a more fulfilled life.

I Should be Attending my Wedding Right Now
