Yes--you should read romance for medicinal purposes!

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

I had a cold this week--or maybe the flu--with a wicked cough. So what did I do to cure it? No lie, I laid in bed all day--fully dressed on top of the covers because somehow that made me feel less sick--and listened to a romance audiobook. 💜

And I felt a million times better, with a lot less coughing, afterwards.

As for my work-in-progress, I was able to get some writing done because reading romance is also inspiration for writing romance.

The Cheerleader is moving fast now and I've come to a place in the story line where I need a new character name. This young lady is a student at UConn, a fellow cheerleader with Suzie, the heroine, and though she doesn't play a major role in this story, she may be a main character in the next one!

You still have time to enter the Name That Character! contest for the new character in The Cheerleader! 💜

With the clocks turned back, I managed to get up early enough to see a sunrise this week ➜➜➜➜➜

It doesn't happen often that I'm up at sunrise these days--in fact it's only the second time this year--so I appreciate it and make a point to snap a pic when I do.

It's all about appreciating those beautiful quiet moments. They're all over the place if you look for them. #Thanksgiving

This weekend I'm in Connecticut at my mother's house taking care of my sister who just had back surgery. She's doing really well and so I'll be going home tomorrow to my poor lonely husband.💜

Hope you're all feeling on top of the world! 💜

We Did This Once Before - Lynne M. Spreen

Broke and lonely, Kim is about to make the worst decision ever.

Divorced and struggling, middle-aged Kim is hanging on by her fingernails. When her elderly mother invites her to return to the lush island of her Florida childhood, Kim is tempted. She could spend time with Mom, start her dream business, and craft the perfect new life.

But when she arrives, Kim is horrified to find a dysfunctional disaster. Mom's sister with dementia has moved in, the house is falling apart, and a cousin is living in a trailer in the backyard with her scary, drug-dealing boyfriend. Kim has arrived just in time, but she’s furious that Mom tricked her into coming to the rescue. Again.

As family secrets are revealed, Kim struggles with caregiving, codependency, and the timeless tension between mother and daughter. Will she find the strength to rescue her loved ones, or make the devastating choice to save only herself?
