LOST IN BLOGLAND

Today I wrote what I considered a thoughtful and sensitive piece about a timely subject which I then lost to somewhere in blogland. My first thought was that maybe I wasn't supposed to make that post. Then I decided that it was a very good post but alas, I was too spent to try to do the sensitive writing thing again. Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don't. So I will leave my readers guessing. Maybe another day. I had already journaled about the subject so maybe that was enough.

I'm reading an old Daphne du Maurier book--her most famous work is REBECCA--entitled THE SCAPEGOAT. I had tried to read this book about a year ago and just could not get into it. At the urging of a friend who had read it I started it again and got immediately hooked. It is about a man who has had the identy of a man (a look alike) foisted upon him and how he deals with the man's family, a pregnant wife and child, and his business. Only the dog seems to know the difference. The thing that makes the plot so interesting is that although neither man had much of a conscience before the identity change, the main character suddenly begins trying to redeem the character that he has assumed by becoming honest and caring toward the people in his life. I can hardly wait to get back to it tonight. I really think this is a better book than REBECCA.

This was my usual church and meeting day with a haircut sandwiched in as well. It was a good day and nice catching up with all my Thursday meeting people. I come away with my cup more full on this day. Blessings on us all.
