Every single day
Everyday is a new day, a new chance. In fact every moment is a chance to make a new choice. At any moment, I can turn and walk the other way. At every corner, freedom awaits those who dare to reach out and seize it.

When a heartbreak looms
As I expected, a ripple of unease ran through my heart. And then I sensed that maybe later in the evening, my heart might just break. So it was Unity Books to the rescue. Joan Didion should do me good according to the shopkeeper’s diagnosis. So I took up his prescription and walked out with…
