Not late at all. You're right, the first one was great. I liked the others, because I like the way Larsson's mind worked.

Shari,

I know I'm late on this but I just loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It's one of my favorite books. I didn't like the other two as much but I still read them. You're not alone in wishing there were more stories!

Hi Jane. Welcome! You're not alone. I have quite a few friends who never read them. I actually had to push myself to start the first one. But early on in the book it took hold of me. If you do read them, I hope you enjoy them too.

I may be the only person who has never read these books. Clearly, I should rectify that soon. Visiting from She Writes. Your review may be just the push I needed.

I've always wanted to at least see it live. I've seen glass blowing on TV and think it would be great to watch the magic in action.

I keep meaning to take some classes on video editing. I love the idea of
putting together movies, though I'm afraid it'd be a huge time sink.
Maybe glass blowing would be better... ;)

Family and friends make life easily more pleasurable in good times, and more bearable in bad times.

Hi Justine! That's a very strong response to just demand that you find yourself and get your life back. It worked, so it was a good choice. How ever we are able to move forward, silencing fears or using them, is a great thing. Congrats! Thanks for visiting and sharing your comment.

I guess it would depend on the dispositional change itself. Major dispostional changes can be, being involved in a relationship for instance. In that case, I remember going through a time where I felt like a part of me was taken away and I wanted it back. I believe it was my pride. I remember trying to find myself, as I once was and thankfully I did. I did everything I loved doing, I found time, I did things I never image I could do, it was no longer I can't but I will and I will not fail, I was no longer fearful, I faced my fears and I became stronger-stronger than I ever was and there I found myself and moved on.

It's common for the words to slow down for us when we've been working for a long time at one sitting. You may even feel yourself getting clumsy with the keyboard. When this happens, you are usually overtired and you need to wake up.

I used to suffer from constant headaches and migraines from stress and since having regular aromatherapy massages I have seen a huge difference. I'm going to try the stretching exercises you have suggested too.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments, Ann. The questions you pose are great for focusing on the good things. And you're right. There is always something positive to be found in difficult situations.

As for the "read more" setup: I'm obviously partial to it. Sorry it's so off-putting for you. It's something that I thought about before I started using it, and decided that it works for me because I'm a skimmer and not a fan of endless scrolling.

I don't like your "read more" setup, but I must admit that there are many topics that really speak to me! One thing I find in a difficult work situation is to ask: "Where's the lesson for me?" "Where's the gift?" There's always one, if I just look hard enough. Things are difficult for a reason, and there's so much I can learn about myself. And then, yes, sometimes things have got to change.
