Retirement?

     There are times in life when we are surprised by the turn of events in the direction we travel.  After working in the corporate and public world for many years I anticipated retirement as the time I would relax in a lawn chair, cool drink in my hand, and watching the world around me.
   
 Well, things do not always end up like we anticipate.  My lawn chair and beautiful scenery have been exchanged for a computer chair and monitor screen.  I am on a journey that does not include sand and sea.  Instead it includes piles of research papers and self reflection, to find within my soul the words to tell the story of two women in the 1890's.  Maryette and Anna happen to have both been married to Charles at different times.  His influence will be reflected in the remainder of their lives.
    I am hoping you will follow my blog as I am on the cusp of completing the creation of my first book.
    I could use words of encouragement a push now and then to let me know that my project is of interest to others.  My dream is that you will look forward to reading this story that sometimes leads you to believe it is fiction.  Trust me it is not.
     Hope to see you have been here to check in occasionally.     Sharon

  2. They are very good about always knocking on the door before entering my room. I am able to turn out the noise and loose myself in the story.
