What an terrible nightmare, Painter. It's awful when even the refuge of sleep is invaded by thoughts of H and his misdeeds. I'm sorry about the house documents. That must have been hard, even if you did have time to process it for a while. It was still your home.

I love that you found a book sale. I love reading, and often pick up books at local thrift shops. The best part is resonating them when I'm done. I don't have to feel guilty that I paid much for them. I should get myself back to my local library. It's beautiful and I don't avail myself of it often enough. They have an entire room of books that are for sale! Not for 25 cents, but maybe a buck each? That's pretty decent.

I love reading about your progress and all the things you are doing. You inspire me to get out and do more. You truly are someone only a fool would leave.

I've been enjoying your daily thoughts. Keep 'em coming, Miss Painter! smile
