I feel like I need a change too. There are some songs that inspire that feeling in me, I listen to them and I think Yes! Yes! I know! I should be grateful to be living and be finding peace and happiness! And then I have to get up and go to the same job day in and out b/c I have no money and I'm all alone and blah blah blah. It's in my head though, and I think about it a lot, I just hope it really really starts to sink in soon. What do you do before you go to bed at night? Are you the type that lies down and falls straight asleep (if so, I hate you :razz: ) I pretty much always read before I fall asleep, and that helps me to at least get through a few books a month :) My brain totally works like this.

My first Stephen King book was "The Stand." Wow. Then there was "It" and "Salem's Lot" and....hmmm some of his short stories. I agree, begin with Shawshank Redemption, I have not read it, but I've been meaning to. I did make it down to Zihuatanego, and I cried when I first saw it...unfortunately it is no longer just a sleepy fishing village... Again, good luck tomorrow. I do hope you’re asleep by now…

I am like you, I used to spend my days holed up with a book. I miss it sometimes. I can read and knit at the same time, but choose not to for certain books because I don't want to distract myself from the story. You know that The Shawshank Redemption was written by Stephen King don't you? Read it, you won't be sorry. It's one of the best movie adaptations of his stories ever. PLUS, it's a short story, novella, and is easier to get through. Some of his work is slow going at first. Bag of Bones was good, but creepy, my first full novel was Needful Things. Rose Madder is excellent too. lol We have an entire Ravelry group. :) Anyways, there is always a bright side. It's all a matter of perspective. Some days, my baby's smile is the one thing that really keeps me clinging to sanity. And I feel as if, knitting, somehow relates to the meaning of life anyways. Think about, we live our lives day to day, not sure of the purpose or our "higher purpose", but some day it will all be clear. Probably towards the end. Knitting is done stitch by stitch, forming (sometimes) indiscernable shapes that only look like an actual garment when you are a few rows from binding off. Anyways, the post was a good read. You'll never sleep tonight, but try anyways. :) whew that was a heck of a post!!!
