Can we be content, ever?
I used to fear the unknown. The things I thought I couldn't understand. That I didn't know the inner workings of. The dark. The world beyond. Now I've accepted that there might be things I don't know. Events that I don't understand. Circumstances I k...

I need a husband.
I've always rebuffed any suggestions, nudge,nudge wink,wink or the more direct in-my-face ones, about my need to get married. But now I know. I NEED a husband. If only so that he can drive me to work and back. You might ask me if a driver would do, i...
