Diane, if you love to read then the Fresh Fiction blog is the place to be. :) Lots of information for readers here.

Kelli Jo, enjoy the journey. Sometimes we grow up too soon. (I think I'm beginning to sound like a padre.) :)

Robin, my husband was in the air force for over 20 years and I have 2 grown sons too. I'm sure once you get used to the kids leaving, you'll find something to do just for yourself. Enjoy!

Sheryl, I couldn't do without the internet now. If my computer isn't working or there's a power cut, I go into withdrawal symptoms. :)

Mary, good for you about working toward your own happy ending. I think sometimes people don't understand that it takes hard work to realize a dream.

Kay, your journey in raising your children and guiding them is a wonderful goal to have. I wish you every success!

Karin, it's the way of the world that when you want something badly it just won't happen. As soon as you stop wanting, it usually suddenly appears. I was the same with my writing. It came to the point in 2005 that I decided I couldn't give up writing but I had to give up the dream of being published just so that I could get back to enjoying my writing again. A few months later I sold to my dream publisher. :)

Deborah, if you're working hard for what you want, then you're already successful. All the best with it.

Patricia, congratulations on such a long and happy marriage. I love how the two of you went off to do your own thing, then met up again seven years later. Sounds like it was meant to be!

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (10:43pm February 27, 2009):

Lisa, I'm glad you enjoyed the success stories here.

Mona, I think true success is in doing what you love to do. If you love to study then that's such a positive thing in your life. Good luck!

Gail, I've been working at a place for just over 20 years too, so I can imagine how you must have felt losing the job and your work friends. I wish you every success in finding another steady job that you'll love.

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (7:18pm February 27, 2009):

Martha, congratulations on a successful career as an author, and in finding the right man. It sounds like you have a perfect life.

Roberta, I'm glad you found the right man for you. And I love that reading is such a joy for you. As a writer that's music to my ears. :)

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (4:02pm February 27, 2009):

LuAnn, I'm in awe of what you've achieved. Picking yourself up with 3 small children to look after would have been terribly hard, let alone getting your degree at the same time. And then add working your way up the ladder all shows such determination. I'm proud of you.

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (3:54pm February 27, 2009):

Brenda, congratulatons on your long and successful marriage. I've been married almost 33 years to a wonderful man who still manages to make each day brighter for me.

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (3:51pm February 27, 2009):

Sharon, I'm so glad the journey doesn't seem long at all for you.

On the other hand, Dawn's is seemingly endless. Dawn, hang in there. Sometimes the ending doesn't seem to be in sight, but then you turn a corner and it's there right in front of you.

Barbara, I'm sorry your long journey wasn't successful. You tried and that was successful in itself. Congratulations on giving it your best shot.

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (3:44pm February 27, 2009):

Margary, that's wonderful. Tell us about your book.

Debbie, you're hanging in there to get your Bachelor's Degree and that's wonderful.

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (1:16pm February 27, 2009):

Lisa, yes, raising children is a neverending journey. As for good or bad choices, whatever choice you make at the time is the best you can do. You just pray that turns out to be the right one. If not, you pray it turns out all right anyway. :)

Re: The C.O.O. Must Marry (1:12pm February 27, 2009):

Ladies, phew! I'm glad I made it. I had trouble logging in, but I'm here now and want to thank you all for your comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my journey to becoming published. I'm still pinching myself it came true.

Karen and Crystal, it may be that one day you'll look back and realize you've succeeded at something you hadn't known you'd wanted at the time. Success is success, big or small, long journey or short, right? Let's meet up in cyberspace in 20 years time and you can tell me about it then. :)
