Time is a wheel that seems to be running over me. My book store is awesome. It's not doing awesome but those who come in love it. Not very many people are coming in so I just keep trying all kinds of things to get people to try me out. I sell my books for $1.00 and I have thousands of them. I put new ones out all the time and every penny I bring in goes to new books , or the ad in the paper, or my business cards, or the bookmarks that have my shop name on the back that I send out with purchases. I ask every one I meet if they read and hand them one of my cards. I don't know what else to do.
I have a large christian book section and very few Christians come in to purchase a book so I may have to cut back on that section. I do sell the Christian romances but the christian living books just sit there taking up space. I was hoping people from my church or other churches would come in and support my store but Its not happening and I guess everyone is too busy. I love the store though and I feel it was the lord who wanted me to do it so I will hang in there and let Him guide me.
My Mother has fallen about three times this week and I am very worried that she can no longer live alone. She cried and it broke my heart. All her life she has given to others and now when she needs help I have done all I can, but I cannot give her legs back to her. I cannot make it all better and I am sick inside because there is nothing I can do and she has to make a decision, I do not want to make for her.
my father-in-law had to give up his dog as he was not taking propper care of it. he thought if it didn't act happy he would dose it with mineral oil and it would be okay. the word mineral is the key I think but all it did was give it a physic and it messed all over his room and his bed and you could not make him understand that it was not good for the dog. ... then he wanted to move back to South Dakota to die. I think he thought the pain in his chest was a heart condition. but it was just heart break from missing Squirt. I think we got him talked into waiting till the hollidays are through so maybe he will have adjusted by then. I hate that he lost his dog but the helpers shouldn't have to clean up those kinds of messes.
I have not worked to much on my book lately. It seems everytime I get my hand on the keyboard something else happens. I wish I had a life for myself to get things done I want to do. I feel like it will never happen. I am getting frustrated and desperate.
I lost the hard drive on my computer and all my photographs. I managed to find a way to get most of them back but for the last couple of birthdays for my grandkids. That hurts.
