a three dog life

i'm hoping there'll be an internet ready computer at maffra. but if not, i'd have my own comp to use. and if i can't connect it, i still got a book. i went out first thing this morning to get a book. and this book in the far left bottom caught my eyes. "a three dog life - a memoir". this book had been recommended to me by amazon based on my past purchase and search result. this book was once in my wish list, but i decided to get another one instead of this one. so hey, it's a sign, i keep running into this book, i should read it.

this book is about the author's husband, richard, hit by a car, destroying his short-term memory and consigned him to permanent brain trauma and he must live the rest of his life in an institution. the author had to build a new life afterwards, rather than abandon her husband, moving to a small country town, of a new family composed of three dogs. the author discovered a truth in the five years since the accident: you might not find meaning in disaster, but you may, with effort, make something useful of it. this is a book with great courage and great change.

someone went through so much more than me, and yet still able to rise again and make some sense of her life. i just have to go to the country for four days three nights, then relocate. that's all. seems so trivial.
