“Let me back up a little and tell you why I prefer writing to real life: You can rewrite. A novel, for example, can be cleaned up, altered, trimmed, improved. Life, on the other hand, is one big messy rough draft.”
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff). I promise my tweets are always good stuff. Please feel free to email me at ray.brese@gmail.com.

Terveen, thank you for your comments, they are all much appreciated. Exactly right, can’t fix that mess, but the mess is filled with inspiration for we who write. Grateful for the messes I made and others made for me. Yah, it’s all good stuff, even the tough stuff has “write about me” printed on its t-shirt (LOL). Have a great day and shine on. Ray
Can’t fix that mess. 😆

Haha! Good one, Ray. I wouldn’t mind a t-shirt like that.
