I just read something in a fiction book that made me stop, think and then come here to write [View all]

The way it was phrased was, "Well, if you're gonna take my inventory, I'll be expecting you to do my amends as well." said calmly and matter of factly. Blew me away. First I laughed. Damn straight! What a come back for the many people in my life so willing to take my inventory!!

But then, I realized, I do that to others. And if that isn't a very, very important lesson for me, right there, I don't know what is. I think it shall become a mirror note.

I don't like clutter on my mirror so one of the other important missives will have to come down, but so be it. It's time I stopped taking anyone's inventory but my own. This is one of my character flaws and I was offered a chance to fix it, by Stephen King, of all people. Thank you, Mr. King.
