An Examined Life?

I just finished reading the wonderful book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. What a wonderful book! And I didn't even know it was in Oprah's Book Club...lol...not that I care. Am I the only 40-something who is SO tired of Oprah? Especially when she's never even had a child. How many women can she really relate to at her age by not experiencing that? I really like her, but she lost me when she made fun of mothers on a "fashion" segment by dissing "mall moms" in our comfortable dresses and flat shoes. Has SHE ever had to chase a toddler around all day? I'm sure SHE'D try it in Jimmy Choo's! lol

Anyway, reading about Elizabeth Gilbert's journey brought up so many thoughts that I'm trying again to find a place for them. Writing never seems to work - the thoughts flow when I'm thinking about them, but disappear when I try to put them on paper. It made me realize how many lives I have lived, how many experiences I have had and how many things I have to say - and I think I could even do it without discussing my significant other! I may give it a try :)
