A Great Read
If your life were a BOOK, what type do you think it would be and why? Mine would be a "Self Improvement/What NOT to do". My book would run you through a whole range of emotions. Where I am now would be a page turning suspense. However, I feel that the ending will be a feel good story that helps every reader :bigsmile:
