GlennM's Journal, 20 March 2011

Happy Spring! This evening winter is over at last for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere... I am looking forward to the warmer days ahead and being able to go out and exercise without freezing! Snow banks are few and far between only those that were like over twenty-feet tall remain it seems. My gluten-free dieting is going well and I feel better, so I know I must stay away from the wheat for good and plan to do it. I may still eat carbs - in time - say within a few months I will know whether I can do low carb with gluten free...

This evening is the 25th anniversary of my mother's mom passing away. I was 23, still feel young - can't believe it was so long ago, my nephew wasn't even around and is now an adult. Anyway, I have enough relatives to dedicate books to so I better get going on getting published. This week I will begin the process of taking 100 agents on a list and start sending them query letters or a synopsis of the first book, and when they want more like chapters or the first 50 pages I will send that too. I have 50 agents already and need to go through the Internet site and get 50 more and send the stuff out, and fortunately the second book is also completely done so I'm hoping both will be sold by the end of the year. Anyway, I would recommend to anyone with joint pain issues to go gluten free. I'm feeling markedly better since stopping it a few weeks ago. The communion wafers at church will be about the only thing I will eat with wheat in it again most likely. Tonight I will edit some of the western - the one with a few famous names in it - a few last names that are now commonly known celebrities and I am in no way going through changing the names it would just take way too long. I heard a funny thing today regarding life and changes, "you can't turn a pickle back into a cucumber". I hope to get on more buddies' journals in the upcoming week much more often than I have been... :)

Hi Glenn...I love it...I never thought about changes in that way and it strikes me funny but is true in a lot of ways, may I say that's Vlassic..(Instead of classic lol) . Since we share our birth year I can say we were quite young when your mother passed, in 1986 that was the year I married my husband and I remember how much I still needed my mother's advice etc at that time in my life. I suppose losing a mother at any time is one of those life changing into a pickle moment. Best wishes on the book as always my friend.....It's Spring! TOWANDA!!!

It's OK Lisa, it was my mother's MOTHER - or maternal grandmother, who probably if she had been alive would have given me a lot more guidance as I struggled quite a bit with mental health and arthritis issues --- and got no help from anyone when I was unable to work. I am thinking now of going to Canada if I want to the stepping stone of moving out of the USA, which is something I definitely want to do. Most likely I would go to Montreal or Toronto (where the weather is similar to here), and then once or if I am quite successful I will likely go somewhere overseas to stay - I have no ties here holding me back, never see family members so it will not be a problem leaving to a better place once I have the money. My mother is still alive, never visited me in fifteen years here - she helps only my younger sister who is unemployed and broke with a husband who is on a Navy pension, my younger sister has a daughter, they will never have anything as my sister got trained for a job that doesn't need people instead of doing something like an LPN where she would have a full-time job permanently and easily. My dad is frugal, helped no one so has plenty of money in his retirement and no financial worries. I hope everyone has a great Monday, it is a weird day astrology-wise so I hope it is not a day of tragedy again...
