*He asked me what was the last fiction I read. I suppose he was trying to start a conversation and establish common ground. But I had to think on that one. I used to read books feverishly in elementary and middle school: the "Little House" books, the Wizard of Oz series, Star Trek novels... until life happened and I no longer had time to sit for hours on end. And fiction? I prefer non-fiction. I like to read about real things that happen to real people. This was in July 2005, and the last fiction I could remember reading was The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, earlier that year. I'd abandoned most fiction years earlier. It just wasn't real. It was a dream, a fantasy, someone's imagination.*
About Me
- Melanie Archer
- Someone once said, "Your forties will be the best times of your life!" I wouldn't have believed it, were I not living it. 40 brought with it an entirely new perspective in life. In my younger years, I thought I had all the answers. Now at 40, I've realized that I'm just one part of this huge world. That's my background for this blog. Life has started over. I relate my thoughts and stories about love, romance, dating, parenting, work, family, all from a 40-year old perspective.
