I won't take up space here to explain - but at the age of 47 he fell & was paralyzed. He never allowed his condition to defeat him & was an inspiration to countless people, epecially me. I can honestly say that the only time I felt truly overwhelmed, was the day of his funeral.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176856520349779417.post-39359549664172981722009-02-04T08:24:00.000-05:002009-02-04T08:24:00.000-05:00Hooray Ernie!

The post was not just about writers though, they were from several different walks of life and in fact, several different age groups. I'm learning that age makes a difference too. Things that would have rolled off our backs several years ago, as we age, tend to weigh us down.<BR/>Thanks for your comments.Kathryn Neff Perry, PhD, MA, LMHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490671251606963991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176856520349779417.post-21884310219645739652009-02-03T11:51:00.000-05:002009-02-03T11:51:00.000-05:00People use the word OVERWHELMED improperly, but wh...People use the word OVERWHELMED improperly, but when it's used, we (most of us anyway) know what they are insinuating. <BR/><BR/>perplexed may be a more legitimate definition, and I know that I've been there too,many times to admit to, but that's a part of life.<BR/><BR/>I am published as well, and I know how perplexing marketing my book has become, and at times it does feel like I'm overwhelmed.

For some reason, they don't both me like they used to. One of my friends said our manuscript is like a key and we have to find the right door to open! Isn't that right!

Gads, I felt so low. Then I remembered that I'm published, I can't please everyone, and who would want to anyway. <BR/><BR/>Don't worry about feeling overwhelmed. I think these negatives are around so we understand how very wonderful life is all the other times.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.com
